Traveler Tips


Be prepared for a lot of walking and always pack a rain jacket!
The rope bridge and giant causeway are nice but quite dangerous for small kids.
The tour is quite long, lasting almost 9-10 hours, but includes a nice break for lunch at the Fullerton Arms.

Packed full, crying children
Anna_C, Mar 2023
We did not realize children under 4 would be on the tour…. Quite a bit of crying. Bus was stuffed full. Tour was rushed. If we had known ahead of time we would have prepared differently or done a personal tour.

Tour of the north including the Giants Causeway
Peter_M, Mar 2023
Excellent day tour despite the weather. Patrick the driver was also the tour guide, and he was first class - very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour covers a wide area of countryside and gives travellers the opportunity of seeing many areas outside of Belfast in just a few hours. Highly recommended!

A Nice Day!
KimecheC, Mar 2023
This tour is 2 separate tours into 1. If you have the privilege of riding with Stephen, you’re in Irish Luck! He’s fantastic as a guide and a great story teller. You’ll spend most of your time at Giants Causeway but the photo opportunities at the other sites are also nice.

Patrick was a phenomenal tour guide and driver - we got to see a ton! I wish we had a little longer at each location, even 10 mins would have helped. But we got to see and do a lot as well as fit in having lunch

GOT and Causeway tour
Joan_B, Mar 2023
Entertaining guide/driver, obvious GOT fan, knowledgeable and friendly only disappointments were a very quick photo shot at Dunluce Castle especially as they now have a viewing platform, and the long walk through gardens to Dark Hedges, very uneven road would not be suitable for those with disabilities otherwise despite dark skys and very cold we enjoyed the tour.
