41 reviews of Dublin Rail Tour: Northern Ireland including Giant's Causeway

This is a great tour to see lots of Ireland on the way there and when you get to northern Ireland!

I took this tour on my last day in Ireland, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide in Northern Ireland who picked up our group when we arrived in Belfast was extremely informative, interesting to listen to, and had a really good sense of humor. Our other guide from the tour who accompanied our group from Dublin made sure that everything ran properly and looked after everyone. The photo stop view of Dunluce Castle was absolutely amazing. I thought that the tour of the distillery was interesting as well. The views from the bus that I saw were absolutely stunning. The Giant's Causeway was really interesting to see, and the scenery was absolutely amazing. The only drawback was that it rained on and off, but you can't control Mother Nature. If you go to Ireland and have an extra day, I would highly recommend taking this tour. Just be sure that you wear shoes that are comfortable for walking as you will need them for when you visit the Giant's Causeway. It was a long day as you have to wake up early to be at the train station and don't arrive back to Dublin until the evening, but it was all well worth it.

We took this tour on our first day in Ireland and then winged it on our own with a rental car. This tour was the best part of our trip, with everything going downhill thereafter. The guide was courteous, funny and well informed. The travel was efficient and stress free. Next time we'll do it all with Viator. To top it off, your price was best of all the ones we found on the Internet! Thank you, Viator, for our best time in Ireland!

Northern Ireland is so far but so close to Dublin with a tour like this. It was quite spectacular. It was quite a full long day, but it was still worth doing because the sights are too fantastic to miss.

The trip to the Giant's Causeway was just great and we were lucky in that we got a lovely sunny day. I am from Dublin and I think that it is a sight that everyone should try to see. The history of the area is fun and interesting and you can take from it what you want. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Antrim Coast and the surrounding area. To cross the rope bridge was a wonderful experience but the walk to it is seriously tough and older people taking the trip found it difficult and were unaware of this. We were not allowed into the distillery as my son is only 6 years old and I did not know that he had to be over 18. But I would like to say thank you for the great day and also our driver was great and gave us a tour of the troubled areas in Belfast which was an added bonus. Thanks again the trip was well worth doing and great value for money.

The trip was worth the very long day. The train portion took us through some pretty scenery, and the bus portion was exquisite. I never dreamed Ireland had such gorgeous scenery. The Giant's Causeway itself was unbelievable, and I felt like I was in another world. Before dropping us at the train station in Belfast for the trip back to Dublin, the driver took us on a little tour around Belfast - an unexpected bonus. I would definitely encourage others to sign up for this tour.

This was my first tour when I arrived in Ireland. It was beautiful. Wear tennis shoes or hiking shoes for this trip. We crossed a rope bridge after a one-kilometer walk. I didn't understand that we were getting off the train during the tour and walking around, so I wore a pair of sandals that was not appropriate for this type of walk. That being said, I enjoyed it. Breathtaking views! Bring your camera and lots of batteries! A great, well-organized tour!
