Reviews
Matthew and Steve were awesome!!!!!
What an incredible day with Wild Rover Tours! A huge thank you to Steven O'Malley and our driver Billy for making our Giant’s Causeway and Belfast City Tour one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. Steven was everything you could hope for in a guide!! he was knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and a natural storyteller. We started our adventure at the Titanic Experience and it was awesome and a great way to see how this became so important in history. We specifically wanted a tour that went beyond the scenery and really explored Ireland’s history, and Steven absolutely delivered. His deep knowledge brought every stop to life, from the ancient legends surrounding Giant’s Causeway to the complex and fascinating history of Belfast. What made the experience even more special was how personal Steven made it. He shared stories about his own family and their connection to Ireland’s history, which added a level of authenticity and emotion that you simply can’t get from a guidebook. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with a passionate local who genuinely loves sharing his country’s story. Billy deserves recognition as well. Navigating narrow roads, city streets, and busy tourist stops with ease, he kept us safe, comfortable, and right on schedule throughout the day. His professionalism behind the wheel allowed everyone to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The tour was perfectly organized, packed with stunning scenery, fascinating history, and plenty of laughs along the way. If you're looking for a Giant’s Causeway and Belfast tour that combines breathtaking sights with genuine Irish storytelling and personality, ask for Steven and Billy, you won't be disappointed. Thank you both for an unforgettable day!
Our tour guide Steven O’Malley was excellent, so was the driver. Steve was very knowledgable, very witty & kept everyone’s interest by the way he presented the information & described the scenary. I thoroughly recommend this tour & tour guide. James S
