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!!

5.00Jam packed day of sightseeing. Driver Ben was informative with a good dose of being witty. Shame the distillery was closed owing to it being Xmas/NY but it didn’t detract from the overall trip.
Worth it

4.00Really informative driver. No toilet facilities on board which was a bit difficult. As toilets at the causeway were inside the visitors centre costing £17.50 each. Really needs 2 hours at the causeway if you want to explore a bit, ok if you just want to see the causeway. Slightly disappointed with my tour as bith the distillery and the second castle was left off and no extra time anywhere else. Worth the money overall and a nice experience.
Experience not to be repeated.

2.00The tour was supposed to start from the Leonardo hotel, it arrived late full of passengers arriving from other tour operators, there were no more seats nearby and my boyfriend and I were forced to be separated for part of the trip. The driver/guide did not handle the issue generating tension between passengers. Compared to the tour the stages were fast with little stopping time, some sites to visit were closed. The driver was a guide with a constant noisy presence in 8 hours of tour with a croaking sound system. I would not do it again even if the sites seen are very beautiful.

5.00We had a very good experience on Christmas Day, 25th December 2025. We honestly thought there wouldn’t be much to do in Belfast, but the tour was brilliant. The driver was superb—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better.
An enjoyable coach trip

4.00We both enjoyed this trip just a shame the weather wasn't always kind to us. It was an enjoyable day out with plenty to see. We enjoyed the short stop at Carrickfergus Castle & there were some good views at the Rope Bridge. The lunch stop was at Dark Hedges where you could have a meal at the hotel or a snack at the their cafe. The lunch stop was quite early so we headed to the cafe as we weren't ready for a large meal. There was a limited choice in the cafe so we choose baked potatoes which were nice enough. Though it would have been nice to have had a slightly more varied menu. Maybe in the summer there would have been more choice. The highlight of the trip was Giants Causeway & even on a bleak November day the scenery was impressive. Certainly worth a visit, The coach was warm, clean & comfortable. Our coach driver was very friendly & knowledgeable, He helped make the trip interesting as we drove from place to place
Great day out

5.00We chose the full day trip up through the Glens of Northern Ireland via the coastal route, with calls at The Dark Hedges, The Giants Causeway and Bushmills. Our Driver Mark, was very friendly and charismatic and gave us lots of information about the places we would see along the tour. He also gave clear meeting/pick up times, so we remained on schedule. We had a lovely carvery lunch at the Hedges Hotel, which was an unexpected surprise. Overall we had a very enjoyable day out, the tour represented excellent value for money and we packed a lot in a short space of time. I would highly recommend this day trip experience with Allan's Tours.
