Our tour was excellent and our guide Amanda did a super job. Her information was interesting, clear and easy to follow. Our driver, Ken, provided additional insight into the history of the area along with additional personal experiences.

Amanda and Ken were amazing! They were extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. Although there was a bus full of travelers, they both took time to personally check on everyone and ensured it was a fantastic day for all.
David_C, May 2026
Started badly as didn’t get info on meeting point. Other travellers got notification of revised meeting point, we didn’t. Amanda & Ken saved the day by picking us up. No probs with previous Viator trip info, just this one. Trip overall was excellent & Amanda & Ken went above & beyond to make the day a wonderful trip. Amanda was really great with the information and Ken, a great driver, also chipped in. Both very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Probably the best cruise excursion we’ve had.
👏🏻👏🏻

Beth_B, May 2026
It was a great day with Amanda and Ken our driver. Both were friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. They even provided us with beautiful weather.
SylviaSevilla, May 2026
Amanda and Ned were a great team. They both had a wealth of knowledge about the Giants Causeway and pretty much everything we passed between the cruise port, the causeway, and back. Their life experiences were part of the tour which made it much more personal and less pre-recorded. Both were open to questions. Highly recommend.
Janet_M, May 2026
Our tour guide was great! He talked about our surroundings and history. He has been doing tours for 26 years. To get to The giants causeway it is a little far but, they do offer a shuttle. It was beautiful and amazing. I’m on oxygen and walked the whole thing. Just needed to rest a little. Surroundings are lovely!
Mary_D, May 2026
Stephen was a wonderful guide! We enjoyed his knowledge and familiarity of the area and Belfast. He was just the best!
Jordan_D, May 2026
Stephen was a wealth of local knowledge. Highly recommend this to anyone stopping in Belfast on a cruise.
Linda_V, May 2026
Beautiful scenic excursion. Path down to Giants Causeway is about a mile. You can take a shuttle down with cash pounds or tap and go credit card. Inexpensive, maybe $1.50-$2 each way.

We had the pleasure of Amanda as a tour guide, and Billy as a bus Driver! There were Both amazing at their jobs! Amanda felt like a dear friend, who went above and beyond for us all! Plus loving dogs makes her alright in our Books! Billy was such a safe and reliable driver that at no point in the tour were we worried about driving on the narrow streets and motorways. Would recommend this tour for the vast amounts of information and beautiful sights we were able to see!

We were a group of 10 people. They picked us up at the Princess Cruise Terminal. We drove alongside the Causeway Coastline. We stopped at the road to take pictures of the Dunluce Castle, a medieval ruins that appeared in Game of Thrones. We continued to the Giant’s Causeway where we walked 15 minutes downhill to the rocks promontory. There is a shuttle that charges 2 BP round trip to the rocks. After we had lunch at a traditional Pub in town where the Fish and Chips were excellent. We came back to Belfast where the bus gave us a tour of the City before returning around 3:40 pm. We started the tour at 8 am.

This is a fabulous tour. The countryside is beautiful with lots of rolling hills , sheep and cows. We had sufficient enough time to hike to the Giants Causeway expend time taking photos. The tour guide was also the bus driver and he did a fantastic job providing information about the city of Belfast . We would recommend this tour to everyone! The guide was a blessing! It was a very relaxing experience.
