A giant tour to the Giants Causeway

We had a fantastic tour of the Giants Causeway and many other beautiful destinations on the journey too and from Belfast. Mark was a tour guide and driver and gave lighthearted and insightful commentary during the experience. Plenty of time at each location and lavatory/eating arrangements are all considered. Would highly recommend!

Giants Causeway and Castles from Belfast: Guided Tour

Sid_B, May 2026

Well Worth the money & amazing views on the way to the giants causeway

Tour was well worth the money and each location picked was discussed and talked about in detail by the very knowledgeable coach driver. Would recommend 100% and each castle and stop was well worth a mooch. Plenty of rest stops along the way also as well as a lunch stop at a hotel/restaurant that did a buffet. Weather was good for all stops and if you want to see the giants causeway no better way to see it. Red and blue routes depending on distance and ability but the stairs down are steep so be aware. Will be using them again in future NI tours.

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.

An honest look at the past and hopeful look to the future

Best tour ever! I learned so much about the troubles. I never expected to be moved by the struggles and the pain that are still very much a part of life today. It was amazing to hear the stories from someone who has lived through the times and continues to educate people so that we never forget. We (as a society in whole) tend to choose to forget and/or ignore pains that aren't our own. During this tour we got to briefly experience those pains but also the hope of the healing of a whole nation.

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.

So good I did it twice!

So good I went around the whole loop twice! Some buses have the drivers doing the commentary (rather than a recording) and these ones are the best! A special shout out for Don who does a special surprise. Really helped me to understand the whole conflict a little better.

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.

Cameron_K, Apr 2026

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

Hand_K, Aug 2025

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 :)
