Carnlough Harbour
A picturesque fishing village and our first stop of the day, perfect for a short comfort break. Built in the nineteenth century, Carnlough Harbour still keeps an old-world charm - so much so that it featured in Game of Thrones, where its steps stood in for the city of Braavos.

5.00I can't say enough good things about our experience with Murat and our private tour of Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast, Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Ropes Bridge, Dunluce Castle and The Dark Hedges. Murat picked us up from our hotel in Belfast and was a wonderful tour guide all along the way. We really liked the fact that we could customize the stops along the way, including fitting in a stop at The Royal Portrush Golf Club to do a little Christmas shopping for the golf fans in the family. Murat 's love of photography shined through as he took joy in sharing his favorite spots for photos along the way. We all loved that we could relax and enjoy the sights from the comfort of a spacious passenger van. I would highly recommend this amazing experience to anyone looking to explore Northern Ireland.
Magical Journey through Northern Ireland

5.00First of all I would like to thank John, our guide, for showing us multiple beautiful sights of Northern Ireland. It was a rainy start to our magical day. John picked us up promptly at 8AM at our hotel in Ballymena. Our first stop was the stunning fishing village of Carnlough. Our quest was to photograph North Ireland. Interestingly the start of our tour was where a scene of Game of Thrones was filmed. Fisherman were busy harvesting their lobster traps. From there we went to Cranny Falls in Gleenariff, a gorgeous unexpected stop. The whole drive along the coast lived up to their billing of one of the 5 best drives in the world. Then it was off to the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and the Giant’s Causeway. I would recommend sturdy walking shoes as both destinations required a good hour of hiking from the cliffs to sea level and back again. Lunch was fish and chips in Bushmill followed by a taste testing of fine whiskey. Next was the Dunluce Castle and the finally the Dark Hedges, which was also used for filming Game of Thrones. John was charming and had brilliant stories throughout the day. I highly recommend using Belfast Tours NI for your customized excursion while in Northern Ireland!
Gerard is the top tour guide!

5.00We had a great day out with Murat. He picked up the 4 of us from our Airbnb and took us on the Antrim coastal route to the Giants Causeway. We stopped in a couple of small towns and viewing spots along the way. We saw dolphins swimming off the shore! The views were beautiful and Murat was a great guide, discussing history, nature, folklore, etc. Definitely recommend!
A full day out enjoying the scenery

5.00This was a magical day. Murat was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable about the area and very personable. Well worth the cost even though we ended up with only 3 of us. So much better than the large bus tours! We were able to choose our itinerary and how long we wanted to spend at each place.
Hey do you want to have a real personal experience and see the sides of northern Ireland I highly recommend this.

Best Tour Guide EVER! If you have one day in Belfast, then this is one you should book!

5.00If you only have one day in Belfast, then this is tour you MUST book. Murat met us at our hotel and from the moment he greeted us, his customer service was amazing. From opening the van's door each and every time for my wife and family, to ensuring we were comfortable temperature wise during the drive to the expert knowledge of the Belfast area, the service was first class. Murat gave us lots of historical and cultural information and was more than happy to answer questions. Our tour was a small group which is something I’ll now prefer to do going forward because the private tour provided by Murat seemed like a friend taking us around the city and countryside. I would highly recommend this tour over others because you get to do and learn so much more than you would on larger groups. Murat never rushed us at any of our tour stops, and made several on the spot recommendations as he got to learn me and my family.
