Took this day trip with my partner and honestly, it was SO worth it. Our guide (Luke, I think?) was a total character—kept cracking jokes but also somehow knew everything about Irish history. I loved the Giant's Causeway walk, even though the weather was kind of wild (bring a rain jacket, trust me). The red route was a workout for my legs but the views were EPIC. Only wish we had like, 30 more mins at the Titanic Museum because it’s huuuge. Would def recommend if ur into history and coool scenery!

I went with my sister and honestly, we had a BLAST! Our guide, Rick, kept cracking jokes the whole time and made even the bus ride fun (didn't expect that, lol). Weather was drizzly at first but then cleared up for some EPIC views. We did feel a bit rushed at the Giant's Causeway, but still got our pics in. Pro tip: bring snacks, there’s not much time for food stops. Would def do again!

Went solo! The bus was comfy, and the driver (Mostafa?) was really chill. Quiggs the guide was a riot, he even played a tune for us on his little whistle thing. Giant's Causeway = super busy but still really impressive. I got a bit lost at Dunluce Castle (oops) but staff helped. Maybe a bit rushed at some stops but fits a ton in. FYI bring snacks—food options are kinda meh.

Spend a full-day discovering Giant’s Causeway’s basalt stones, Dunluce Castle’s dramatic coastline setting, and the tree lined beauty of the Dark Hedges.

With an expert guide, you learn the meaning behind each landmark while enjoying a calm, well handled day with helpful information at every stop.

Relax in comfortable regular seats as the coach carries you smoothly from Dublin to other locations, giving you time to rest and enjoy the scenery.

Make your day more personalised with upgrades like Belfast exploration, Titanic Distillers tours, Titanic Museum entry, whiskey tasting, or driving along the Glens of Antrim.

Me and my mum took this tour for her birthday and we both LOVED it! Our guide remembered everyone’s names and countries, which was such a nice touch. The bus ride was smooth (thanks Anil!) and the views along the coastline were seriously breathtaking. I didn’t expect to feel so moved at the Dark Hedges, but it’s so atmospheric in person. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Went with a group of friends. Not usually a fan of bus tours but this was a surprise hit! Quiggs kept us laughing and even played a little Irish tune for us. The stops are well chosen—castle ruins, coastline, then the Titanic museum. The only thing: felt a bit rushed at the last stop, but we got some great food recommendations from our guide too.

Honestly I didn’t expect much—group tours usually aren’t my thing. But wow! Guide (Luke) was hilarious, and the driver (Tomas?) handled those twisty roads like a pro. I met some cool folks on the bus too. Giant's Causeway was packed but the guide gave us tips to dodge the crowds a bit. My highlight: singing along to Irish tunes on the way back.
