This was an informative and relaxed tour. It was a wonderful way to see the coast and we particularly enjoyed seeing the small villages along the way. Paul is an engaging guide. He is very well informed, uses humour appropriately and talked just the right amount. I would highly recommend this tour, Paul as the guide and this company.

Such a great informative tour, Karl was the perfect guide
Good number of stops and balance of information given
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.
Excellent tour from start to finish. The time provided at each stop was great and the pub food was delicious. Karl our driver was funny and gave great recommendations. Best tour we did!

Thank you! We are delighted with your feedback
It should really be called a trip around the countryside. The game of thrones items were hardly worth it, but the other sights were beautiful. The guide Frank was good!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Karl our driver was great 5 stars. The tour itself was not as good as others we have done. The stop at Fullerton Arms was not time well spent as not everyone wanted to have lunch and there was nothing else to see in that town. The Giant's Causeway was very interesting and unique.

Great day out at a lot of scenic sites, and Game of Thrones filming locations. Giant's Causeway was the highlight of my UK trip and I wish we could have spent a little longer there. Driver/guide was good. Wifi on the bus would have been nice.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing! Pleased you enjoyed your time with us - WIFI can be accessed at our lunch stop. While on our coach day tour, the view is all that should be enjoyed! :)
This is a fantastic and full day tour with McCombs Travel, covering beautiful sights on the Antrim Coast, the Giants Causeway with some Game of Thrones highlights to see along the way. Our driver and tour guide Patrick was amazing.

It was a great day regular stops for photo opportunities and toilets, Giants Causeway is spectacular. Driver was funny and knowledgeable and lovely clean coach 👍

Thank you! We are delighted with your feedback
I am glad I booked this tour with McComb's via viator. Excellent service with an extremely friendly yet professional and knowledgeable driver/guide - Ray. Communication from the company was spot on and the bus was clean and comfortable. The itinerary was honoured and the spots were all magical. I would definitely recommend this trip if you have a day to spare, and don't want all the hassle of organising it yourself.

The scenery was absolutely spectacular. Our driver COLIN, was Excellent, and very very entertaining as well as a knowledgeable guide to this coast of Northern Ireland.
The Giant’s Causeway is the unquestionably spectacular abd the highlight of the highlight of the tour, but Colin's description of the origins of the Causeway, both legendary or scientific made it very meaningful to my group of Americans.
Good views along the Antrim Coast we had frequent stops to take in the majestic scenery
Dark Hedges and other GOT locations.
Well-organized stops and timing. Waving at his mother along the way was great.
Very good value for

Patrick was an amazing driver. He handled the narrow, winding roads very well. The coach was clean and in good order.
The tour itsellf was wonderful. Patrick was a treasure trove of infomation about the history and area we were visiting.
A great day.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you! So pleased with your positivity
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip out, was wonderful seeing all the different view points on the way up to the giants causeway, Be aware that bad weather, and mist will limit your coastal views, even though we had this, we still enjoyed our day visiting the various locations, which included a couple of Game of Thrones locations which we loved.
One of the things which would make the trip better is wearing the correct footwear.
Hiking boots with non slip grips are the safest bet when walking the causeway, rainy conditions make the stones very hazardous and we saw 2 really bad falls where people have slipped on the terrine, which caused major damage, just be careful if you decide to walk the causeway.
Also it is worth taking the bus up and down to the causeway, which is a £1 each way. Take your national trust membership card with you if you have one as it costs £19 to get into the visitors centre where you can pick up an audio guide, or go on a guided tour which is included on entrance, we did the guided tour and it was worth it. You will gain entrance to the souvenir shop and also the cafe. This tour does not give you access to the visitor centre.
The dark hedges were wonderful, but unfortunately some of the trees have come down in storms over the last couple of years. It is also about a 10-15 minute walk to get to the dark hedges from the car park.
Our driver was great, very knowledgeable and also brilliant at maneuvering the sometimes narrow roads on the way up.
Well worth a trip and we will be returning and hopefully the weather will give us a better view of the surroundings. Definately take a portable charger, as you will need to recharge your phone on the go if using for pictures and videos.
The trip is a long day, but full of wonderful things.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! Valuable points made, your recommendation is appreciated
Thoroughly enjoyed our guide Frank's insights into Northern Irish history and customs as well as his personal anecdotes related to Game of Thrones. I was on this tour with my best friend and three kids in tow, and the bus was comfortable, the scenery gorgeous, the guide knowledgeable and funny and the itinerary was interesting. Our kiddos are 16, 11, and 5, and enjoyed their time. The pacing can be quite hectic for families, there are a lot of stops and only 2 hours at the Giant's Causeway (which might be enough for some, but was definitely too short for our kids who wanted to move around and explore much longer). Regardless, the day was packed and fun for the whole family. Make sure to bring food if your dietary needs are not met by regular pub fare (even though we appreciated the Fullerton Arms stop and the menu included a vegetarian option) so that you don't have to spend the shorter stops searching for snacks.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! We are delighted the whole family enjoyed their time with us - As the driver explains, The Fullerton Arms provide dietary options and can be modified further upon request.
This was a great tour. Karl, our bus driver was great. He had a lot of local knowledge. You get to see a lot of places on the northern coast of Ireland. It's a long day but worth it!

Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a good day out with family or someone close to you. Good guide from our driver Karl too, giving us some many good stories and interesting facts about the sites we saw and just around Belfast
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks for sharing! Very much appreciated
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.

Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback! We appreciate your 5 stars & positivity
This was an excellent way to tour the Northern Ireland coast. Giant's causeway is not to be missed, but we also very much enjoyed several of the other stops to and from. Frank was wonderful - 10/10 guide and driving.

Thanks for sharing 5 star feedback! We are delighted to know you enjoyed all on offer during our day tour
We had an amazing tour guide named Karl. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He had great advice for the different stops and the best way to get the most out of each stop (and save you money). He was even kind enough at the end of our tour to contact his boss and get permission to drop the 15 of us from the ship directly back at the cruise port instead of having to take a taxi back. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you are lucky enough to get Karl.

Well designed, immersive exhibits, all completely original costumes and props. Tons of information. As good a gift shop as gift shops come. Light food and drink options available. Clean restrooms.

Thanks for leaving us a 5 star review!
The day trip outside of Belfast hit all the right notes. The frequent stops allowed us to get lots of pictures and stretch our legs every hour or so. In addition Marcus was friendly and funny.
My husband and I are both GOT fans and loved getting to see all the filming locations.
The Giant's Causeway was fantastic and we feel so fortunate that we got such a sunny day!

Not as much history and discussion around Game of Thrones as expected, but tour was interesting and Giant’s Causeway experience was enjoyable.

If you are looking for a tour that encompasses the northern coast of Ireland this tour did a wonderful job. The references to Game of Thrones was a nice touch.
