What To Expect
We depart from Belfast City Center, from the bus shelter in front of the famous Europa Hotel, on Great Victoria street at 9.45 am. Begin the journey in the company of your 100% Irish guide and your fellow travel partners for today, we'll get to know each other and have our charming guide set the scene as we take the drive through the rolling farmland of county Antrim to the North Coast of Ireland - an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The Dark Hedges
We visit the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges. The trees were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress their guests upon arrival to their house. Most of you will recognize the Dark Hedges as King's Road from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It is a wonderful photo-stop and an opportunity to be a part of a real life set!

5.00Could not recommend this enough . Went with my girlfriend and we both had an amazing day out. Our tour guide Micheal was absolutely brillant , a great storyteller, funny , and so welcoming . The views were absolutely spectacular. 40 euro was a bargain.

5.00A week ago today my daughter and I joined the Giants Causeway tour from Belfast. An amazing day including short visits to Dunluce Castle and the Dark Hedges. Special mention must be made of our lovely driver Eduardo, who as well as brilliantly negotiating some narrow roads kept us entertained. We hope to return sometime to see more of your beautiful island.
Beautiful scenery, biased (near bigoted) commentary

3.00Loved the castle, loved the causeway and the scenery in between. Dark Hedges were a disappointment but all in all the places were superb. Driver and commentator Gerry, well I imagine back in Ireland he’s a good guy. However I didn’t like his tone. Too much focus on the Protestants not being welcoming, the Brits were murderers, Ireland should be Catholic and United and Winston Churchill was to blame for a famine in India in 1943. I think Churchill does have many bad points but in 1943 he might’ve been busy v Nazi Germany. Cromwell was a mass murderer and Bobby Sands and his IRA mates were not classed as murderers. Biased views, everywhere we went “I’m not welcome here, I wouldn’t go in here, these flags are not my flags.” I don’t care Gerry. I really don’t. I’d not be welcome in some places in Belfast, Londonderry or Glasgow but I’m not really spouting my views to strangers who are going on a tour of the Antrim Coast. Let it go and let the scenery talk for itself. For me the guy Gerry came across as a bitter wee man and there are too many of those across Ireland on both sides of their communities. And slow down a wee but on the bends and corners.
Very poor tour.

5.00Wonderful day exploring Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle and the Dark Hedges; our guide, Shae, was knowledgeable and very welcoming. Great 'crack' at the pub when we stopped for lunch and loads of time to explore at all the stops. Would highly recommend for a day out from Belfast. Great value
Great fun day out

5.00The paddywagon tour from Belfast to the Giants Causeway calling at the Dark Hedges, and especially Dunluce Castle is definitely worth going on, and was a memorable day out for us. Pick up and drop off was easy and straightforward. Aiden, our driver and guide, was professional, friendly, very informative about everywhere we passed and visited, with a wicked sense of humour. Would highly recommend this tour when in Belfast

5.00Bus was early, like we were so great to have the pick of the seats, only 18 on our tour, so nice group. We had Michael for our driver and tour guide and he was funny and knowledgeable, great views on the drive to Dunlech Castle, wish we had a bit longer here. On to the Giant Causeway, views amazing driving along the coast, be prepared for all weathers, think we had 4 seasons in one day .The causeway was very very busy and we went on a week day, if you can walk up and then down the hillside , these will have the best views and less people. There is a little bus to take you to the stones, I was a little underwhelmed with the stones, but may be because of some many people. Coach driver was on time with all his timings and also where he said he would be. On to the trees, nice walk to them but nothing like the photos you see of them from Games of Thrones, but enjoyable day and a clean and tidy coach and Michael the driver made it more enjoyable, so thank you.
Don’t book if you’re on a cruise ship

1.00We’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.
