This was an amazing experience, absolutely breathtaking scenery and such a fascinating history of the area. We were on a cruise and their care and attention to making sure we were picked up promptly and more importantly, returned on time, made it a stress free experience. Absolutely recommend!!

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!

Giant’s Causeway Tout - Highly Recommended

America_T, May 2026
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.

Excellent Tour

Causeway can be slippy in wet weather. Sun stayed out for the duration of our visit. The trip included some beautiful views of the Irish coast. Patrick our guide was very informative and friendly.

Very best IN-DEPTH tour

bobh7007, Sep 2025
Our guide Amanda spoke clearly with complete historical background. Our driver Barry was such an alert driver and knew the difficulties driving all these curved roads. The scenic drive was beyond anyone’s imagination. The value of this comprehensive tour was well beyond. Every tour we have taken with either Viator or Trip Advisor (its sibling) is comfortable and we always feel assured with confidence that if they are behind these tours we will be more than satisfied.
