What are people saying about Dark Hedges

Dublin: Giants Causeway, Dark Hedges, Dunluce and Belfast Titanic

Jessica_C, Aug 2026

Can’t miss experience

This was one of our favorite tours of our trip. Our guide Jamie was phenomenal. He was both entertaining and informative. Our driver Daas was awesome as well. Jamie kept us on time and shared a lot of great information. The Causeway is a beautiful spot and should not be missed. Our only complaint is that the Dark Hedges should probably be removed from the stops as they aren’t really as advertised since the storm several years damaged so many of the trees.

This was a great...

This was a great experience. We had Ollie as our tour guide and he did a great job of sharing stories to inform us. He’s also a great singer! The time at Giant’s Causeway was wonderful. We would have liked more time there, but understand time constraints. The dark hedges were neat, but maybe didn’t need as much time there. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the causeway.

Choose Finn McCools tours!

This was that magical combination of an excellent series of experiences/sights, a clean and comfortable bus, and the *most* informative/fun/funny tour guide/driver duo. Despite not great weather during our day, Noel and Brian made our tour so memorable. If I could give it 6 stars, it would deserve it.
