★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,432 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $33Our pick

Giants Causeway and castles day trip from Belfast with a live guide, Dark Hedges, Dunluce, and the scenic Antrim Coast.

“Troy was great. Funny with stories to share and lots of insights along the drive. My only negative is I wish we had had a little more time at some of the places. And I didn’t know that things were closed on Mondays. I was happy to replace Carrickfergus Castle with Bushmills but was sad the gift shop at the Dark Hedges was closed.”

Private Northern Ireland tour from Belfast to the Causeway Coast with guided stops, flexible timing, and hassle-free hotel pickup.

“This was a perfect day trip. We took the train from Dublin into Belfast and Fergal was great at communicating the night prior on exact pick up spot and was right on time. Fergal knows the ins and outs and little tricks to ensure the day is spent to its fullest. We saw some of the most beautiful areas in Ireland and Fergal was knowledgeable, safe and was able to give us fun tidbits of information throughout the drive. If you only have a day to spend, this is the way to do it. Taking the bus tours would have never done Northern Ireland justice. I recommend spending the extra…”

A small-group Belfast night walk mixing street art, live music, and pub culture, ending at Crown Liquor Saloon for an easy finish.

“This tour was a disaster, Marti, the guide, did not take into account a lots of pubs were closed on a Tuesday evening and that the England football match was on. First 3 bars were closed and the Sunflower where we had a half hour stop was packed with football fans and only had live music in the last 5 minutes! He did not listen to what we the clients wanted and at one point got Agitated when I went down a wonderfully light street to get a photo because it wasn’t his scene. He also marched us past a pub playing live music that we started to sing along…”

A private 8-hour Belfast day tour blending Titanic landmarks with the murals and museums of the Troubles, with pickup and free admissions.

“A very interesting tour with two passionate guides that we could tell really cared about their country. If you are a political history buff, You need to take this tour. We saw beautiful areas of Belfast, but also saw the the fascinating conflict that still rages between the Catholics and Protestants, and corruption that still covers up major crimes. Very sad but with hope that the older generations are teaching their kids not to hate. If only this could work everywhere…”
