Great value. Well planned and executed.
This is a well planned tour to visit and view some iconic sights in Northern Ireland. The Giant’s Causeway was astounding. In case you are not aware of it, there is a shuttle bus available at the causeway you can use instead of taking the about third of a mile walk down to them, it costs one pound or one euro each way (you can pay for it with either of the two currencies). Well worth it to give you additional time there. Sadly, the site charges for admission to the visitors center (the causeway is free) they will not allow you to get into their gift shop without paying the admission fee. There is a hotel there with a gift shop the size of a small walk in closet. We had a nice lunch on the tour, the food was good and reasonably priced. The Game of Thrones stops were also good. The tour was a good value and was very reasonably priced. The reviews I read were accurate and we were no disappointed.

Northern Ireland with Stephen is great!
Stephen as guide adapted to our shorter time frame tour(Cruise Ship had all aboard at 3pm). We booked Giants Causeway tour. Stephen got ahead of bigger buses, so weren't held up by larger busses. With 15 passengers he could answer all questions.
As we returned to Belfast, he was able to handle the difficult history of Belfast's civil war. He couldn't have handled it better.

Great tour and excellent value for money
Very enjoyable, great value for money. Our driver (Gary) was knowledgeable and informative and added in a nice bit of humour as well. The trip to the Giant’s Causeway was well worth it and also enjoyed the quick stop and photo opportunity at Carrick-a-Rede. Fortunately the weather was kind whilst we were down at the stones so it was a lovely, memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour.

Exactly what we were after
Very simple tour, one short stop on the way and then straight to the Giants Causeway - exactly what we were after. The tour cost was decently priced (as the drive was about 1.5 hrs one way, so 3 hours total ish)… we had some Irish music to listen to during the coach ride, plus our driver gave us some historical commentary during the ride but not too much that it became distracting as the scenery on the drive was amazing and great to watch as we drove through. We were very lucky with great weather and blue skies. We arrived back just before 1pm and were very happy with this as we could head straight to lunch at a pub recommended by the driver, before heading into Belfast city hall which was also recommended by the driver!

Wow, this was so well done!
Lots of parking available near the museum. Plenty of choices for food on sight.
This is an amazing museum, so interesting and very informative about Belfast and the inhabitants. The museum tells a brilliant story from start till finish, it is a must see!!

Brilliant
A truly brilliant day! Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Belfast and wanting to see more than just the city.
Troy was brilliant. Knowledgable about the subjects and funny.
He took time to get to know and involve everyone.
10/10 would recommend

This was a nice...
This was a nice adventure. It never felt like we were on the bus too long and was a nice balance of quick stops and longer stops. Our driver/guide, Frank, was fantastic. The only downside was lunch. They were quite busy at the restaurant, and I ended up having about 15 minutes by the time I got my order to eat, pay, and use the restroom before getting back on the bus.

Giants Causeway Coach trip -magnificent.
Excellent guided tour by Dave who was brilliant. A very safe and steady driver on difficult narrow roads -he used to drive tanks for the army. Loved his jokes about the big yellow gantry of H & W standing for Hello and Welcome going to be sold to Fred Olson lines making it … He very wisely said at the beginning that he had no intention of offending anyone and he didn’t. He gave very helpful advice when visiting the Giants Causeway and managed the other coach drivers in the tight parking problems so we got away on time. He got a deserved rousing applause from the passengers on our return to Belfast.

Good general overview
Joined the bus near the City Hall, good clear commentary explaining all the history of Belfast. Covered a lot of what makes Belfast tick, from building the Titanic to all the varied murals and their significance.
Trip was about 90 mins in total. Good overview.

Awesome Tour!
Guide and bus driver were amazing!! Made it so fun! They also were both very knowledgeable. Giants Causeway was breathtaking! Not to be missed! Saw Dunluce Castle- it is ruins so a drive by was ok, got good pics, Dark Hedge was good. I love it only being 6 hrs- very efficient.

Fantastic day trip — highly recommended!
We absolutely loved this tour! It was a great way to see some of Northern Ireland’s highlights in one day, and everything was very well organised.
Our guide Steve was brilliant — funny, entertaining and full of interesting stories. He kept us on schedule and made sure we arrived at each stop before the crowds, which made a big difference.
There were only 23 people in our group, so the coach was a perfect size and much more comfortable than a large tour bus.
The Giants Causeway was definitely a highlight. One small tip: there isn’t a specific lunch stop, so bring a packed lunch. We ate ours at the Giants Causeway with a beautiful view, which actually worked out perfectly!
Would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you want a well-organised day with a great guide.

Fantastic day out
It’s very informative and there is a lot of walking, make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Either bring a packed lunch or some spending money for snacks along the way. Brian and Jacob were our guides and they were brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend it.
