Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port

We have difficulty to understand the tour guy. He talks too fast and it took us a while to get his point.

Don’t waste your time. This isn’t worth it and the operator was terrible! You can look at a pile of rocks at home.

Jim provided a wonderful experience. The photo stops along the way were great as were the small town stops on the way back to port. Getting to the Giants Causeway before the large tour buses was a huge bonus. Thanks to Jim.

Amazing Giants Causeway, scenic coastal drive and informative Belfast tour. Brilliant commentary by guide telling us the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland right through the troubles to present day. Stunning countryside.

This was an enjoyable tour which covered a lot of miles and allowed us to see a great variety of sights. Our tour guide provided plenty of information about the various sights...I enjoyed the Giants Causeway and the walk to get to it, however, I felt the tour guide might have provided a bit more information about the time required to walk to the causeway and back...as, after using the restrooms, we found that we had enough time to walk to the causeway, spend about 5 minutes there before having to head back to rejoin the tour group for the departure to the next stop. As I recall, there was a toilet on the coach but it was either out of order or, was locked to prevent usage. Had this been available, the line ups at the public toilets may have been smaller and may have allowed more time to spend at the stops. Many of the sights were just drive byes or, very brief stops to catch a view. The most disappointing was the stop to view the Rope Bridge at Carrick-a-Rede. The view point provided a beautiful but very distant view of the bridge and I had been anticipating that we would be able to walk across the bridge. The tour description was vague regarding the ability to walk the bridge and my inquiries resulted in variable answers but as it turned out, coach tours are not allowed to walk the bridge. The tour guide provided copious Historical information about the sights we saw and this was all very interesting...and it was apparent that he loves the historical aspects of the tour and history is his thing. While I felt that this was great information, I would have loved to have had more anecdotal information about the area mixed in with the historical details, almost none of which I will be able to remember! As an example, he pointed out the homes of two professional golfers which was of great interest to me having watched those golfers on the PGA Tour for many years. The tour finished in the area of Belfast where the troubles of the past were evident and this was very interesting to actually see first hand. I felt the tour provided very good value for the cost.

Had fun but it was rushed. Needed more time people were great it takes longer to do then time alowed

Tour guide and sites were outstanding. Bus was comfortable. Highly recommend this tour as it was very pleasant.

Excellent tour...our tour guide even offered to lend us money so we could ride the tram to the Giant Causeaway. Our driver who is celebrating his 44th bday took us for an additional tour to Belfast City.Great tour!

The stop along the coast before we got to the Causeway was spectacular - it was exactly what I thought Ireland would look like. The Giants Causeway was amazing and fun to explore. It was great fun to stop for lunch at Donnely’s: a typical Irish pup and the food was great. The bus trip was comfortable and our guide was excellent. We enjoyed the stop for I e cream and the tour of Belfast. I hope the bus we were on gets repaired. We were stuck out in the rain because of a faulty door and the defrost system was nonexistent. Thank goodness we had an experienced driver who handled it well and got us back safely.

Gale our tour guide and bus driver Anthony were great! We would do that tour again!! We loved the stops and the restaurant Gale suggested, O’Conners for fish and chips.
