  • Perfect way to experience Giant’s Causeway in a half day!

    Nice tour. A half day was the perfect tour duration - We left Belfast at 8am and returned by 12:45pm. Easy to schedule via TripAdvisor, reasonably priced, knowledgeable guide who didn’t talk too much, comfortable bus, and a great way to trek Giant’s Causeway, which is the main purpose of this tour. The drive was pretty as you pass sheep fields and go along the coastline. November is actually a nice time to go as there are far less people visiting, so not crowded at all. There were only 3 of us on the tour, so it felt like a private outing. The weather was cold and windy, so we did bundle up in coats, hats and scarves, but I loved it. You drive past the Dark Hedges without stopping, which in November is fine because the Hedges aren’t much to look at this time of year; just bare trees.

    Great experience! Gary was a lovely driver and tour guide. 10/10 would recommend. Giants Causeway is stunning and such an amazing place to explore. Back of the bus is a little bumpy, and the roads are quite windy, so beware.

    Lovely morning trip to Giants Causeway. Connor our driver was chatty, and provided fun stories on the journey there and back. We had a stop at Dunluce Castle and then 90 minutes at the Causeway. Would recommend sensible shoes for the walk to the stones. On the way back we went via the rope bridge and Dark Hedges, both of which were interesting. The coach was comfortable and journey well timed. Highly recommend.

  • Great morning day out!

    Perfect whistle stop tour of all the most important bits! Connor was an amazing tour guide with plenty of insight and stories that helped the journey pass easier! 90 mins at the Giant’s Causeway was plenty and we had a great time exploring, if you’re a national trust member, the visitor centre is free and has some interesting bits and some great souvenirs. All the other brief stops were what they needed to be, looking at some great scenery or beautiful landscapes. The morning tour was perfect for our little family to see all the best spots without losing the attention of our toddler with a longer trip.

    Brilliant half day tour. Connor was a great guide and got us safely around a range of sites - the stunning Giants Causeway for 90 minutes, and photo stops at Dunluce castle and Carrick rope bridge. Really interesting history of the region and very friendly, relaxing atmosphere.

  • Beautiful morning trip

    It was beautiful from start to finish. The guide was lovely and the group I went with was a good size. Would recommend this time to avoid the larger crowds in the afternoon.

    Bus will pick you up anywhere on either side of Europa hotel, so be on the lookout. Bus was overbooked and ended with some very irate passengers who had tickets but didn't get to go. Unfortunately, tour guide did not have enough English to troubleshoot the problem well and it was the driver's first day. Reading previous reviews, it looks like this can happen with this tour group. Book but be prepared to change your plans. Giant's Causeway was beautiful, we had lovely weather.

  • A half/day tour. Concise....

    Arrived at the Europa Hotel 5 minutes early, but there was no sign of the bus. We were then told the bus had already left without us no phone call, no check-in or register. We had to rent a car last minute. When we called the company, they casually said the bus had already gone and offered no solution. We called at 5 past pickup time, Still waiting on a refund. Very disappointing experience.
