What are people saying about Northern Ireland

Maya_D, Aug 2026

Thoroughly enjoyed our...

Thoroughly enjoyed our guide Frank's insights into Northern Irish history and customs as well as his personal anecdotes related to Game of Thrones. I was on this tour with my best friend and three kids in tow, and the bus was comfortable, the scenery gorgeous, the guide knowledgeable and funny and the itinerary was interesting. Our kiddos are 16, 11, and 5, and enjoyed their time. The pacing can be quite hectic for families, there are a lot of stops and only 2 hours at the Giant's Causeway (which might be enough for some, but was definitely too short for our kids who wanted to move around and explore much longer). Regardless, the day was packed and fun for the whole family. Make sure to bring food if your dietary needs are not met by regular pub fare (even though we appreciated the Fullerton Arms stop and the menu included a vegetarian option) so that you don't have to spend the shorter stops searching for snacks.

Barry was great! We came into the tour without a ton of background knowledge about the city and the history, and he was an absolute wealth of knowledge and storytelling! We were so grateful to get to go through the city with him, and truly learned so much background and got so much context!

Brittany_H, Aug 2026

Highly recommend!

It was true to the description. It was in fact a small bus and our tour had 20 people, although it could have taken a few more. It was very comfortable on the bus. The tour guide was great, knowledgeable and had a good balance of info and relax time. Loved the 1.5 hrs at Giants Causeway. It allowed enough time to do either walk. The lunch was fantastic. I was thinking the food wouldn’t be great because the view was so nice, but it was. We skipped the Belfest drive around and honestly I preferred that after seeing so many things. All around great tour.

Elizabeth_R, Aug 2026

Highly recommend!

Tour left right from the cruise port, very mindful of our timetable for the cruise. Troy was the best guide we’ve had this trip! He’s very professional, informative, and gave us a great tour of Giants Causeway and the coast! A tour from our cruise ship was ridiculously priced and we ran into the other passengers at every stop, so it’s almost identical for a portion of the price. Back in plenty of time for our cruise departure, could have even gone into Belfast for an hour or two before departure had we wanted. Highly recommend!

We headed to Dunluce...

We headed to Dunluce castle firat for a quick picture stop, then to Giants Causeway. We had a good amount of time there and then stopped in a cute little town for lunch and then another picture stop at a bridge, then drove through some pretty places including the Atrium forest area, the red arch, by 3 caves, and then a driving tour around the outskirts of central Belfast. Ours was a little quicker on some.of the stops because our cruise ship was leaving at 4:30. They got us back to the boat a little after 3pm. The tour guide was great and had a lot of good information and was entertaining.

Great experience with one amazing and funny tour guide (Stuart), the dad jokes had us in stitches and thsnk you for the GOT references. We visired Carrickfergus Castle, The Dark Hedges (lunch stop with a discount voucher provided) although a picnic was a very good idea, there is also a fabulous coffee shop. Then on to Dunluce Castle, always worth a visit but nothing like it on a sunny day, picturesque with amazing views. We then finished at Giants Causeway and plenty of timd for a walk, refreshments, dinner etc before home to Belfast (arriving back for around 6pm)

Incredible history walking tour- must do!!

Eugene was a fantastic tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed this tour! It was so informative and peppered with just the right amount of humor to offset the serious subject matter. We loved that Eugene paid respects to so many by naming them specifically and how detailed and thorough the historical content was. Highly recommend this tour if you’re coming to Belfast and want to learn more about Northern Ireland’s history!!

Be prepared to learn a great deal of information and to be presented with a very balanced, objective view of all sides of the violent conflict. Our tour guide, Jim, shared the history of The Troubles with compassion and empathy, with a focus on the many ways the conflict impacted victims and survivors to this day. He emphasized the learning and hope we can take from how the society has survived this tragic period.

This tour was the highlight of our trip! I cannot recommend it enough. The bus was clean, comfortable, safe and easy to find. Our tour guide Dave was attentive to attendees, incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable, and ensured that we had ample time at each location to explore. The castles included were definitely worth visiting and the highlight was of course the Giants Causeway which included various points of access for differing needs/preferences. I would advise packing your own lunch or being prepared for a pricey meal as our only option seemed to be the Dark Hedges hotel. Overall an amazing experience!

Fantastic day out

It’s very informative and there is a lot of walking, make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Either bring a packed lunch or some spending money for snacks along the way. Brian and Jacob were our guides and they were brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend it.
