Mobile ticket
Spend a memorable day visiting what is undoubtedly Northern Ireland's most infamous attraction. Travel by coach on a journey you will remember for a lifetime, taking in the spectacular natural beauty that is the Antrim Coastal Road, Carrickfergus Castle, Portaneevy Viewing Point to see the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge (Due to National Trust Staffing Issues they will not accept any coach or group bookings at present but we will be stopping for photographs), the Giant's Causeway, and the Game of Thrones locations, including the Dark Hedges plus much much more. This tour travels the entire coast road from Belfast which is a must-see area of outstanding natural beauty. Not all tours to the Causeway include this but is widely known to be best route to the causeway. To leave this out of your tour would be a big loss!!

A nice way to spend time

4.00A good adventure with beautiful views. It felt a bit rushed at times. For example the whiskey distillery was only 15-20 minutes stop to go to the gift shop. Read the itinerary before you go, so that you are prepared. Also be aware that there is just a viewing point to see the hanging bridge from afar. The tour itself was nice and we got to see many beautiful places. The tour guide was also really good. My partner and I had a mostly great time.
The causeway

Didn't get what we paid for

1.00We booked our trip for a tour of Carrickfergus Castle, Dunluce Castle, The Rope Bridge, The Dark Hedges, the Antrim Coast Road, The Bushmill Distillery, the Giants Causeway, and the Glens of Anteim. We saw only the ruins of a castle, The Giant's Causeway, the Bushmill Distillery, and The Dark Hedges. We purposely booked this tour for the rope bridge and the castles. We were switched to the express tour from our ship instead of what we paid for. We will not be using Allen Tours again.
Great Tour..

5.00A great bus trip never done one before but this trip was fantastic. Bus good with an excellent tour guide/ driver. Very funny and informative
Good guide and fun trip, but a few things could be improved

4.00Overall, this was a fun and worthwhile trip. The guide was very witty, informative, and made the journey enjoyable. At times, though, it was a little difficult to understand him because of the speaker quality on the bus. The main issues were with the air conditioning on the bus and the seating layout. The seats themselves were comfortable, but because there were no handrails in the middle, it could feel a bit cramped when two people were sitting together. I also think the experience could be improved by allowing slightly more time at each stop, as some places felt a little rushed. A small pamphlet with information about all the stops would also be helpful, especially for visitors who want to understand the history and significance of each location. Despite these issues, it was still an enjoyable day and I’m glad we did it.
Great Causeway tour!

Misleading

3.00The driver was excellent. 5 stars to him. However, the description of the tour was misleading. We didn’t get to the rope bridge. Unacceptable. No time to tour the castles? Giants causeway was the best part of the tour. But overall this tour is misleading
Things closed early due to protests so missed Dunluce Castle

4.00Even though our tour was late and cut early due to protests we had a nice time. Wish we would have had the full thing
A great day out and a comfortable bus and safe driver

5.00A great day out. Comfortable bus and a very safe driver called Mike. He was very knowledgable and told us all about the history of every place we passed. The sites we saw were lovely and the highlight, the Giants Causeway, was as good as expected. The weather even behaved itself and only rained when we were on the bus. Very good value for money.
