A great way to see the Causeway if short on time.
Weather can play a big part here - and is totally outside of the operator's control. In our case, we were so lucky to have a clear and sunny day - which made this a wonderful experience.
This half day tour is convenient for those short on time, on focuses solely on the Giant's Causeway, with a brief photo stop ahead of the Causeway and a quick go through the area where a scene from Games of Thrones was filmed (no stop due to no regulation).
More specifically, it is about a 90 minutes ride to the Causeway, including a brief 10 minutes stopover for a photo op, 90 minutes at the Causeway, and 90 minutes to come back.
Our guide was very clear on the do's and dont's so that we do not include extra fees at the Causeway. Our guide provided some nice commentary along the way to and from the Causeway.
As for the Causeway itself, the views were amazing when we visited. Of what we have seen while in Ireland and Northern Ireland, it is one of the most beautiful sights.
While we would have appreciated the longer tour that has a few more stops - this allowed us to check the box on this activity.
Highly recommended

Fantastic Tour
This was a fantastic tour. I had read all the great reviews and it was exactly as they had said. Our driver/tour guide for the day was John, he was amazing, very knowledgeable and very funny. He took us on an extra stop to a small village which was beautiful. A lovely day enjoyed equally by myself, my husband and our 12 year old son.

Just right
This was such a nice way to see the iconic Giant’s Causeway without it taking your entire day. Kieron was a great guide and driver, keeping us informed and entertained on the drive. He had a good mix of stories, information, humor, and time to just observe the beautiful scenery. There was just enough time to hike out the top of the cliffs and then back down near the causeway at a brisk pace. We found it perfect and it left us with the rest of the day to enjoy Belfast.

A memorable and moving experience
Give yourself plenty of time to take it all in. The exhibition is extremely well put together with lots of interactive facilities and sensory experiences. We visited just before leaving for the airport and so I was impressed with the lockers on the ground floor and the ease with which to order a taxi from the venue. The staff were attentive and friendly, managing queues and expectations really well. The whole visit was 4 hours but we did take our time and had a snack and a browse in the shop afterwards. You could do it quicker but it's so immersive, why would you?

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.

Stunning Causeway
A fantastic full day travelling along the stunning coast to The Giants Causeway. Our driver Frank & guide Colin were very knowledgeable. Frank brought quite a lot of humour into his commentary, which made it a thoroughably enjoyable day. I did think the visit to Dark Hedges, unless you were a fan of game of thrones, was a waste.
It was all well organised, even down to pre-ordering lunch (if you wished) at The Fullerton Arms. We had the seafood chowder, which was delicious.
A great day…..thank you.

No Need to Pay Extra
Each destination we visited was open to the public. If you wanted to enter the “visitor center” an additional entrance fee is needed. All sights we visited had information markers if we wanted to know more about the location. We did not pay extra to enter the “museum “ or gift shop.

Fantastic Experience! Beautiful scenery and good Comedy.
Meeting early in the morning after a concert was a bit of a slog but the fantastic attitude and sense of humour of our tour guide had us perked up and attentive for the entire bus journey. They took the time to explain key historical moments , interspersed with humour and light-hearted chitchat.
The Antrim coastline is breathtakingly beautiful and the stops along the way were all phenomenal. We were given ample time at (most) stops to explore and take in the sights. Food at the designated dinner spot at the black hedges hotel was quite expensive, running £17 for a buffet plate, as such id recommend taking your own lunch or getting something from one of the spots along the trip that does things a bit cheaper.
The giants causeway was more than worth the trip and exceeds it's reputation for beauty, I do wish that more time was possible there but that would be logistically difficult.

GOT Studio Tour
My husband is a GOT fan and really enjoyed the studio tour. The tour gives a greater appreciation for the set, props and costume work that went into the series. The 3hrs is plenty of time to go through, get something to eat in the mess hall and browse the gift shop. It was easy meet up location and the bus Fri er Patrick was excellent. Fun afternoon and worth the time for a GOT fan.

Good combination of countryside and city
Paddy our tour guide was full of stories and history. He and the driver effortlessly guided us through this day of the beautiful countryside. The Giants Causeway is amazing! We saw the Carrick A Rede rope bridge from a view point. The setting is gorgeous! Lunch was on our own, O'Conners was efficient and delicious! My husband loved the seafood chowder. We drove past the Peace Walls in Belfast. We saw so much on this excursion . It is a good combination of country and city.

Superb experience
This was such a wonderful holidays experience for us. The guide and the driver was awesome. He explained everything very well to us. He was humble polite and very supportive. He is a gem. The service was prompt and worth the money. I would recommend them to everyone. I will choose them next time too. Thank you for the service.

One of the most amazing trips of my life
This was one of the best tours I've ever done, and it was also the highlight of my entire trip to Ireland. The Antrim Coast is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The Giants Causeway was so nice to visit and all it really wasn't very crowded. I highly recommend visiting. The lunch was a carvery and it was excellent, and the price was very reasonable, it was only about £20. The guide was excellent, too. I also felt like I had enough time everywhere.
