KathyRentmeester, Jun 2026

A walk to enjoy!

Awesome introduction to the Northern Ireland turmoil of the 70s. Raising was amazing as she clearly explained some of the most significant happenings during that time. Sometimes relaying it from the stand point of someone who was there even as a small child. Don't hesitate to book this great walk.

Giant’s Causeway and Titanic Experience from Belfast Port

Great Day Tour from Cruise Ship

We had a nice cruise ship group of about 50 passengers. Bus pickup was on time. Great tour guide. The entire group was always on time back to the bus. That’s amazing. Fantastic day. Great sites. We walked the Giant Causeway upper Red path. Fabulous views. The Titanic Experience did not disappoint us. Back to the ship in plenty of time as anticipated.

Barry was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job of educating us and providing us with important context for the murals, memorials and museum he showed us. We were very pleased with our tour and would highly recommend Barry to anyone wanting to do such a tour!

Giants Causeway and Castles from Belfast: Guided Tour

Pattipeg_H, May 2026

Atrium Coast Road is amazing.

The Atrium Coast Road is amazing. When you get to the Causeway, you’ll walk down a long hill to the sea. At first, you’ll just see huge boulders lining the shore. Keep walking to get to the pillars. You have to pay £18.45 to get into the gift shop. Save your money and get souvenirs somewhere else.

Great day trip

Great trip. Went with my ten year old daughter and we both enjoyed it. Hugh our driver was friendly, helpful, good natured and informative. Quite a lot of time in the coach vs time at some of the stops which might be a consideration for some but plenty of time at the main “feature” of the Giants Causeway. Worth noting there is an alternative option for lighter food at the dark hedges to the hotel buffet although this wasn’t flagged by the guide.

Don’t miss this excellent tour of beautiful Northern Ireland Coast

Excellent trip, one of the best excursions I’ve ever taken. Troy went out of his way to show us everything possible in time allotted. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We had a beautiful tour of the coastline on the way back, far better than what’s offered as part of ship’s tour. Highly recommend.

Giant Causeway Tour

Fantastic tour. The entire tour process was very organized, much better than Princess. The smaller bus is the way to go, making it easier and quicker allowing more time at the sights. The lunch stop was in a beautiful location with great service and food. So happy we booked this tour, they are very professional and will get you back in time. Would definitely book this again.

Good day out at the Giants Causeway and scenic route

Very comfortable small coach. The day starts early at 9am, and returns by 4.30. There is no lunch stop but our driver Stephen suggested a suitable place to buy sandwiches. Stephen was a good driver, knowledgeable and had a good sense if humour. He made sure his passengers gad a good day and that they kept to his time schedule.

Giant causeways!

Unbelievable natural beauty! A must see if you’re traveling to the east coast of Ireland! Our guide, Karl, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging through the entire tour, and with his bright personality, he guided us through the beauty of the Irish country side, giving us tons of history and information based on the land and area. The giant causeways will speak for themselves, as if you can manage to get some clear weather, the views and testament to their beauty is absolutely stunning.

From Belfast: Game of Thrones Winterfell, Dunk & Egg Trek

Winterfell Trek with Robbie the Archer

What an incredible experience for any Game of Thrones fan! Our guide Robbie's genuine passion shone through as he shared personal experiences as an extra and how the show shaped Belfast's community. The locations were beautiful and historically fascinating beyond just being GOT filming sites. As a longtime fan, I got emotional seeing Winterfell, Castle Frey, and the northern forests in person. Robbie was funny, upbeat, and high-energy throughout, eagerly answering questions, discussing fan theories, and sharing North Ireland's history. I absolutely loved this tour and plan to book the Iron Islands tour if I return. The North remembers :)
