Giant's Causeway Tour from Belfast: Luxury Bus and Castles Tour

Glenys_H, May 2026

Causeway trip

Amazing day visiting the causeway route . Breathtaking scenery, grand castles and the highlight of the Giants Causeway. Thanks to Dave our fabulous driver and courier who added to enjoyment with his stories, information and lovely Irish music. A special day !

Giants Causeway and Castles from Belfast: Guided Tour

Meredith_R, May 2026

Great day trip

I had a wonderful time on the day tour. Stuart, our guide and driver, was a wealth of knowledge and very kind. The meeting point was easy to find (just look for the charter buses and guides in red jackets) and the bus was comfortable and clean. I would advise bringing a warm/waterproof jacket, as it gets windy, and to wear shoes that you can comfortably walk in on hilly/uneven terrain. Definitely budget a whole day for the tour, as we got back to Belfast shortly after 6 PM and you'll want to relax and probably grab a pint with newfound friends!

Giants Causeway Tour from Belfast

This was a terrific tour. We only had a fews days in Belfast and glad we decided to book this tour. Our guide, Karl, was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable and sincerely wanted everyone to have a great day. He clearly loves his job and provided tips, and plenty of insight on things to do & experience in Northern Ireland and its people. We would highly recommend this tour. Absolutely stunning views between all the stops. The Giants Causeway was absolutely breathtaking. Worth the ticket alone!

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.

Amazing trip in Northern Ireland!

Great experience in Northern Ireland! Ùna, the tour guide, was superb! The taxi cab experience was very eye opening. The castle was fun but it was short. The Giant’s Causeway area was very beautiful. I recommend walking the trails first and finishing with the stones to make the most of your time there.

'Giants' or 'Science' Causeway?

Easy to find pickup and friendly banter (and timekeeping) throughout with Gary. Good Craic as they say in these parts. The causeway itself is worth the trip. Stunning with great photo ops. We also had wonderful weather with clear sight of Scotland across the sea. Half day trip seemed just right for us.

Belfast history lesson

Believed it would be an exhibition just about the sinking. Mistaken. Showed the years of Belfast shipbuilding with many displays showing the innovations required to make the ship. Showed the socio-economic pluses and minuses to the Belfast area. Had a really fun ride taking one through an experience of being a builder. Lots of fun. Would definitely keep younger ones interested. Also they limit entrance to so many on a timed basis which keeps it from becoming overwhelmingly crowded.

Giants Causeway Half Day Trip

Fantastic half day trip up to the Giants Causeway which was just as spectacular as we had hoped, we definitely saw it at its best in the sunshine. It was cold and windy up there though so we were pleased that we had wrapped up! Our coach driver Gary made the trip for us, not only was he full of facts about the passing scenery and landmarks, he provided a fantastic history of Ireland. He was also extremely funny which made the trip extremely enjoyable and entertaining.

This was such a great experience. Ray was amazing. The food at Fullerton was outstanding. If you’re not sure about the seafood chowder I promise you won’t regret it. All the stops were great. We had plenty of time to see what there was to see. Would highly recommend. Also, sit on the left side of the bus, I was jealous of the left side for sure.

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.
