5.00An outstanding trip. Easy to find the coach good value day out. Our driver and guide Kieron was so good and filling the day with information and humour and music. It’s a tough gig and he did it perfectly. An easy drive with stunning scenery. Gorgeous stop along the way and then 90 minutes at Giants Causway. All explained so clearly. We were lucky with a clear day and even sunshine. We walked down to the shore and sat on the rocks for ages. We then walked out the other side to a steep path and steps up to the cliff top. Wild flowers, birdsong and the sound and smell of the ocean. Highly recommend.
I can highly recommend...

5.00I can highly recommend this tour. We did the half day , left Belfast at 8, and were back by 12.30 . The driver, Gary gave us lots of interesting information. The giants causeway is fantastic we had about an hour and a half which was plenty of time to see it and to have coffee in the hotel . Good value for money .
Great half day tour!

5.00Gary our driver and guide from Paddy Wagon tours gave the history of Belfast and all the area along the drive to and from the Giants Causeway, which was very informative. It made it a complete tour. Highly recommend.
Could be better

3.00The tour guide was good. He did introduce about everything he knows and nice. But the trip basically includes only the Giants Causeway. The itinerary is too misleading by saying there're three to four stops. The worst thing we feel is the music, good as a background but too loud. Couldnt rest or even talk. Would recommend to improve on this.
Book with Gary - he's a seasoned pro - funny, knowledgeable and experienced

5.00We got more than we expected from this tour all due to our driver and guide, Gary. Firstly, the bus was clean and the ride was very comfortable. The scenery was beautiful and pleasant. Gary was funny, knowledgeable, and in a nice way made sure people took responsibility for themselves - being late back to the bus wouldn't be tolerated. No waiting for stragglers. Last one on the bus had to sing a song ;) He also played modern and traditional Irish music along the way there and back. Wish there was more time, but as we were reminded, we only booked the half day tour. It was breathtaking and worth the money. If you're short on time and just want to visit the Giant's Causeway (and learn a couple ways on how it got its name), this is a great way to do it. (Read the description carefully - you're not walking the rope bridge, or stopping at the Game of Thrones road. The main attraction is Giant's Causeway.)
