We booked this trip as a family of 10 (6 adults and 4 children ranging from 10 to 16). Troy our driver was incredibly informative and kept us amused with his various bad jokes! The scenery enroute was stunning and Duntulm Castle was fantastic. Giants Causeway was mind blowing and I can totally understand now why it is the most visited place of all the National Trust places of interest.

The tour was well planned. Stuart the driver/guide explained everything. Easy starting point next to the City Hall. Well worth for the price we paid.

This full day tour was amazing and left us speechless. Troy is funny and personable and shared info as he drove us to the impressively restored Carrickfergus Castle and then the stunning cliffside Dunluce castle. A lunch stop allowed us to walk through the Dark Hedges of Game of Thrones fame before Troy took us to the main attraction- Giants Causeway. There are several hikes (or a bus) you can take to reach the causeway. We opted to take the red hike up the mountain which then led to stairs and a trail down to the shore and the causeway. The view from the top was absolutely breathtaking and just when we thought it could not get any better, we reached the causeway at the shore. We were literally speechless, as our brains couldn’t fathom the 40,000 plus basalt hexagonal columns. We climbed out onto them and watched the powerful waves wash in. The more moderate walk back up the blue hike was spent in some silent reflection. On the drive back to Belfast, Troy mostly played music - nice move, Troy! This was an awesome tour - I would not miss the chance to see Giants Causeway!

Advantage, nothing to organize, let yourself be carried but no effort for foreigners. The guide is the only one to give the information on the route. No audio guide to propose. Meal time too long as well as that of the castle. The bus passes not far from the oldest distillery in the world and zero stops are planned... it's a shame!!!

Very friendly tour, we learn a lot about the history of Ireland and GoT. Unfortunately, we're more often on the bus than off. It was a very nice excursion, and we highly recommend the Giant's Causeway which is breathtaking. Castles and Dark Hedges are nice to see. The view is nice but not exceptional either. I recommend this ride but I suggest improving it with maybe a shorter descent to the viewpoint and Dark Hedges in favor of something else.

Loved the tour guide and our driver ! We were lucky to enjoy this trip on a mostly sunny day. The coast line is gorgeous and we actually saw a pod of dolphins !! Fantastic experience. Would have loved to spend more time at giant's causeway but due to wet and windy weather we left early. This is not due to the tour company. I highly recommend booking with them

Excellent day with a great driver,Dave and fantastic guide, Lisa who was so clear, friendly and informative. So many great things to see, great details about each place of interest. Well paced, plenty of stops, places for food and free time. Giants causeway is as magnificent as you imagine. All in all really great value for money and a brilliant experience.

The pickup and drop-off location is very convenient, which is on the west side of the city hall. Stuart, our bus driver, guide, comedian, and historian, showed us an excellent time. Even though it was an almost full bus, it was comfortable. We had sufficient time to roam around Carrickfergus Castle, a pitstop to snap some pictures of the coastline at Portaneevy, lunch in a restaurant at the Dark Hedges (vegetarian options available - you can either have lunch at the restaurant or a cafe), and Dunluce Castle. You can either check out the trees first and then have lunch, or have lunch first and then check out the trees. I'd recommend paying £4.50 to visit Carrickfergus Castle so you can check out the various rooms inside. Since Dunluce Castle is a ruin, you may or may not want to pay. However, you can snap decent pictures from the outside. What a great way to see the coastline too.
