Giants Causeway Sightseeing Day Tour from Belfast

Anthony_C, Oct 2026

Great Day Out

Well planned itinerary with an excellent and safe driver, who provided the commentary. Frequent stops for toilets, coffee and shops. The route is fantastic, I had no idea how beautiful the coast was. The Giants Causeway is very easy to walk, and a frequent bus runs if the path proves too steep for you.

David_L, Oct 2026

Excellent trip.

The driver Stuart made the trip for us, he has excellent customer service and really makes you feel welcome. He has great knowledge of the surroundings and gives an excellent narration whilst driving. His driving was safe and the coach was very comfortable. The tour itself is very long but has sufficient breaks, and the attractions are well worth a visit. Great value for money. The scenery is worth the money alone.

Belfast black taxi tour

Vanessa_K, Oct 2026

Fascinating and thought-provoking experience!

I had a fantastic black taxi tour of Belfast with John yesterday. He was engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and offered a thoughtful, balanced perspective on Belfast’s history and the Troubles. Having grown up during the Troubles, John generously shared his own experiences and those of his family and friends, bringing a deeply personal and moving dimension to the tour. We saw so many murals and memorials, each brought to life through John’s stories and insights. I came away with a much deeper understanding of what the people of Northern Ireland have endured and how the past continues to shape life today. This was a highlight of my visit to Belfast. Highly recommend John!

Morning Giant's Causeway Half Day Tour from Belfast

Paul_E, Oct 2026

Excellent and Informative Tour

We took the morning tour (Fri 16th Oct) the driver was excellent, he was very informative on the various locations on the way to the Causeway. Heed his excellent advice on walking down to the stones and getting the bus back up. We had a coffee/snack and used the facilities in the Hotel, which was superb. He pointed out various locations on the way back into Belfast mentioning restaurants and bars. In a snapshot - Very information, excellent craic and would do it again!

Titanic Belfast Entrance Ticket: Titanic Visitor Experience Including SS Nomadic

Barbara_B, Oct 2026

Absolutely fascinating!...

ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING! Allow enough time to see it all. The background history at the beginning gives good information but the exhibits towards the end are amazing. The ride experience gives a good interactive experience, but I wouldn't do it if the wait time is huge or you're short on time.

Afternoon Giant's Causeway Half Day Tour from Belfast

Jamie_L, Oct 2026

Excellent

We had an excellent day out visiting the Giant’s Causeway with Paddywagon Tours! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip was made even better by our driver, Gary. He was great craic, really informative and kept us laughing throughout the day! Everything was well organised, there was plenty to see, and we had such a good laugh along the way. Gary really made the trip special with his knowledge, humour and great personality. Would highly recommend Paddywagon Tours, and if you get Gary as your driver, you’re in for a brilliant day! ⭐️

Game of Thrones Studio Tour with Coach Transfer from Belfast

Christine_J, Oct 2026

Amazing Experience

WELL DONE! Incredibly curated experience - good for fans of the GOT series, but also for anyone interested in film or tv. Has great information on production, design, scoring, costuming, and has a great opening sequence to the exhibit. One down side: I attended with a fan of the show, where I had not seen it. I loved the exhibit as an overall fan of museums and history - which this certainly falls into. However I found myself wondering for details on how many episodes were filmed in the building etc, and it wasn’t until I met a very helpful staff member in the gift shop that I learned that much of what I had seen was original sets, that 33% of the entire series was shot inside the building and that at least three of the major scenes/sets you see were original and almost fully intact. I wish the text panels had conveyed that information more clearly- it would have added to the overall experience for a non-fan who is more interested in the overall history of the space. The costumes are incredible and in general - this is a don’t miss!

Jennifer_M, Oct 2026

Excellent educational opportunity

This was an outstanding tour. We originally thought we would just read up on it ourselves and then go look at the murals and the wall, since we have a rental car, but we decided at the last minute that it would be easier to do this rather than find out way around. We did it for convenience but found that in terms of the education and really having the situation impressed upon us, this was excellent and we DEFINITELY left with a much deeper understanding than some Wikipedia entries ever could have given us. Highly recommend. Tour guide was informative and engaging, and shared his personal experiences growing up in the area, which added so much. Thank you!

Belfast Black Taxi Tour: Private Journey Through History

Eileen_K, Oct 2026

The very BEST tour of "The Troubles" in Belfast!

Excellent in-depth overview of the "The Troubles," from inception to current situation, by someone who lived through much of it. Jake provided a very fair and unbiased exploration of life in Belfast's Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods, as well as how it related to life in Ireland in general.

Very Informative Tour!

We had Stephen as our tour guide and he was great. He had excellent knowledge about the troubles and how it affected the neighbourhoods and the people. We were able to get out and explore different parts of the Peace Walls and the gates. We also stopped at one of the many memorial gardens.

Game of Thrones Studio Tour with Coach Transfer from Dublin

Marilynne_L, Sept 2026

An Unforgettable Experience for Any Game of Thrones Fan!

The Game of Thrones Studio Tour exceeded all of my expectations! The level of detail on display is unbelievable—from the intricate costumes and iconic sets to the incredible props, you really feel like you’ve stepped straight into Westeros. The interactive experiences throughout the tour were a standout highlight and made the visit feel engaging rather than just a walk-through museum. On top of that, the souvenir shop was very fairly priced compared to most attraction shops, which was a pleasant surprise, and the cafe served delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended for casual viewers and die-hard fans alike. A must-visit!

Taylor_H, Sept 2026

Stephen saved our marriage

Tips: Sit on the right side of the bus and bring a wind breaker - this trip was fantastic. Our driver Stephen was incredibly knowledgeable of the local lore and had planned our trips around the big tours in order to avoid traffic. He was super fun to be around, and gave a great tour!
