Great fun day out

DANIEL_K, Oct 2025
Great day out, lots to interesting things to learn about Irish history, told with a great sense of humour!!

Don’t book if you’re on a cruise ship

Kathryn_L, Aug 2025
We’re on a Viking cruise and booked this as an independent excursion. Unfortunately our cruise ship didn’t dock in port and we had to take a tender to shore in Bangor. We took the first one but when we got to shore the next shuttle into Belfast wasn’t leaving for another 40 minutes. The drive to Belfast is 45 minutes so even if we taxied we would not make it by 9:45. We did not realize we would need to tender to shore, then shuttle to town when we booked this. It doesn’t seem possible to make this excursion from a cruise ship. We didn’t end up arriving in time to make the excursion and lost our money. I’ve heard it’s an amazing site and am very disappointed to miss seeing the Giant’s Causeway. I just want to warn other cruisers the situation.

Excellent

Look no further PADDYWAGON tours is good value, our guide Gerry is an excellent driver & a character.

Great!

Jessica_D, Jun 2025
Great time but Be careful. The pub you stop at does not charge correctly. Was suppose to be $45 american as i was shown on scanner (picked dollars) and was charged 59 later. Shady!

Dominic’s Day tour to Giant’s Causeway

Anna_D, Apr 2025
Our driver and guide, Dominic, was very knowledgeable about the area and locations we visited. He made the tour very entertaining and interactive. I’m sure next time he’ll remember Catherine of Aragon. ;). -Anna and Allyson from the Philippines/Australia

Disappointed

KingaAnna_W, Feb 2025
No directions of driver (he didn’t know where dark hedges were) as pretty new to the job(2years) Made a stop for lunch as the driver requested as kept saying he’s hungry

Fabulous!

Sam_L, Nov 2024
Great commentary and tour - thoroughly enjoyable day trip to Giants Causeway and the Dark Trees. Our driver was really informative and chatty

Great experience

vallucas2, Nov 2024
Trip was very exciting and interesting. I enjoyed the experience of being able to visit one of the great wonders of the world. Richard was an excellent driver/tour guide.

Very good

Alan_A, Aug 2024
Seeing the Giants Causeway. Informative guide who spoke well about the history and the area . It was good that she talked to all the people on the bus about local information they wanted to know

Excellent!

Sadaf_A, Aug 2024
So worth the price , Rachel -our tour guide and John -our tour driver were both lovely ,extremely friendly, and knowledgeable.

It was a wonderful...

Debra_C, Aug 2024
It was a wonderful experience, our tour guide was extremely knowledgable about the history of the area. Would highly recommend.

Make it 30 min longer

Elif_S, Aug 2024
The tour was so fast pace. We had to run to catch our tour bus. It finished earlier than planned. Especially the dark hedges stop. We only had 25 min and going to the attraction site itself took 15 minutes !!! Are they expecting us to fly?

Your cut short as driver wanted to get off early

Hilary_K, Jul 2024
Giants Causeway. Take your NT members cards and ignore the drivers advice and do go into the visitors centre

Great outing.

Jackie_E, Jun 2024
John was a great driver. Felt safe at all times. Rachel is super friendly and a good storyteller. Loved the stops at the castle, the causeway and the Dark hedges. Great day.

Fabulous Experience to the Causeway

Cassandra_C, Jun 2024
Wonderful trip up the coast. Richard, our driver, brought the country side and the history of Ireland to life. The bus was both clean and comfortable even completely full. Dunluce Castle ruins were fascinating and picturesque. The Giant’s Causeway was extraordinary. I’d do this trip again in a moment.

The causeway was...

Pansy_J, May 2024
The causeway was wonderful. The guide was very personable, but did not provide sufficient history (especially Dunluce castle), general information and directions. Waiting in the rain and not sure exactly where the bus was going to be was not pleasant. A half hour for lunch was not enough.

Stunning Irish coast tour

Jineele_F, May 2024
The tour of the coast was absolutely stunning! Melissa was very friendly and explained well the history of various places throughout the day and Ian safely drove for the day. There was sufficient time at each stop to explore and take pictures. Also appreciated the lunch stop option

The coastline was...

Ruth_B, May 2024
The coastline was magnificent. Driver was a good storyteller. Commentary was poor. Promised 100% Irish guide - was North American and culturally so.

Waiting for the visitors

Juan_P, May 2024
When we arrived late to t'he bus Happily the lady in charge patiently stood up for us. We are kindly grateful for that But we consider that the time given for walking around the causeway is very short

Fantastic trip to Giants Causeway

Catherine_H, Dec 2023
Despite the mist and cold we had a great trip to Giants Causeway. Our driver kept us entertained with songs and jokes. He was welcoming, friendly and informative. We loved the trip. .

Good day out, would have been nice to have the advertised tour guide on board though...

Paul_S, Oct 2023
We had a good day out at the Causeway and the nearby landmarks, however the promise of a 'live commentator' to guide us through the day wasn't fulfilled unfortunately. We looked at many tours but chose this one as we thought we'd get a tour guide to explain the history, mythology and culture of the places but all we got was "go down here, take a selfie, be back on the bus for half 1". I had to Google the places and provide our party the actual information of where we were. We also were taken to a cafe for lunch which wasn't advertised on the itinerary before hand. The food wasn't great and had huge queues, so me and my wife just walked along the road to a pub nearby. The landmarks were fantastic to see, but the trip would have been made better by having the actual advertised tour guide with us. It looks like others have had a better experience so perhaps it is potluck.

Affordable and fun!

Taylor_P, Oct 2023
My husband and I had a great time! The bus driver, Dave, was fantastic. It was scenic, informative, affordable, and fun! We would definitely use this company again for another tour!

worth it

Carlos_M, Oct 2023
Breathtaking views , John the bus driver was awesome, he was very entertaining even singing for us, the tour is worth it for the price is reasonable if you are fan of game Of Thrones you will enjoy it, you even get to sit at the iron Throne

The tour company was a bit chaotic during pick up and we were in the van instead of a coach

Rey_C, Oct 2023
Booking with this site is a bit expensive than Booking.com when in fact the touring sights are all the same with the other.

Pickup confusion

Geoffrey_C, Sep 2023
We enjoyed the day and the tour bus was comfortable, however the start was a bit stressful because it was not clear where we were supposed to join the bus. We, and approximately a dozen other passengers, were waiting in front of the Europa Hotel in Belfast but the bus was down an adjoining side street. If my husband hadn’t gone searching we all would have missed our pick up. The meeting place needs to be made more clear.

Fabulous

Emeke_I, Aug 2023
The stones where lovely and the guides were very informative, wonderful driving to and from Belfast. Highly recommended

Brilliant trip! Ken and...

Katherine_P, Jul 2023
Brilliant trip! Ken and Tom were great guides for the day. Perfect time spent at each location. Thank you!

Wonderful tour

wendy_n, Jul 2023
Josh was the best tour guide, knowledgeable and funny. Places on tour were breathtaking. Highly recommend.

Great

Marguerita_V, Jul 2023
The tour was worth the price and our guide was excellent! Great humour and singing! Also loved that lunch was ordered on the bus and ready when we got to the pub for 2pm. Excellent tour for those who want a quick run over.

Nice drive and interesting places.

Ilona_N, Jul 2023
Driving in the countryside was interesting. Scenery at the castle was beautiful. It was raining a lot at the causeway so thet wasn't so memorable..
