Review of Belfast’s Giant’s Causeway and Game of Thrones tour, with coastal scenery, castle stops, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“Such a great tour, especially for the relatively low price! We enjoyed it a lot, bus driver/guide was the best, he slowed down on the way so that we could enjoy some great views, made sure we could sit next to each other on the bus and even dropped some guests of at their hotels when we got back to Belfast. Would 100% recommend this Tour!”

“Patrick was a great host and driver. We felt safe with him throughout our journey. He explained everything in detail, as far as what to expect and the timing of everything. the best part of the whole tour was the giant causeway. The views on the drive are scenic and relaxing. There are plenty of stops to take bathroom breaks and plenty of time to grab snacks and drinks along the way. You have an option to purchase food at one of the stops as well. I highly recommend stopping next door at the bakery. You won't be disappointed.”

“Róisín was such a wonderful guide. She was very passionate, as she experienced first-hand, a lot of what she covered during the tour. She made you feel the emotions at the time. She helped me, and our group, really envision what was happening back then. She's a fantastic storyteller. The earpiece and radio helped a lot as well. I truly enjoyed Róisín and the tour. I've been on many tours in Europe, and this was high on my favorite list. I would definitely recommend this tour!”

“What a great tour, having two differing guides from either side of the Falls & Shankill Road. Both spoke very passionately from their own perspective so both sides of The Troubles were shared whilst walking round the areas and seeing the murals and memorials. Highly recommend & thanks to both guides, Paul and Jake.”
