Autumn trip in Northern Ireland 2026

The tour guide did a fantastic job. Shout out to him (Jacob) and the driver (Norshad) for getting us around safely. Jacob guided the tour through stories that were both informative and entertaining. I learnt a lot and would recommend.

Giant's Causeway and Belfast worth the beautiful drive

The bus ride isn't mentioned in the name but driving through the countryside, seeing all the sheep and green rolling hills was a highlight. Castle is just a photo stop from afar but still cool to see. Giants Causeway worth it, would have stayed longer considering of 90min, at least 40min is to go down and back Add bathroom break, early arrival at the bus leaves 30 minutes to actually explore the rocks and take photos. Dark Hedges, not on a rainy day. 2 hours isn't lots to really visit any big city but we ran around Belfast trying to see as much as we could. Jacob is a good tour guide, and from Belfast which is nice. Nayshad is a skill d driver and the bus is very comfy. All in all it's worth it but I woukd have skipped Dark Hedges for more time in GC or Belfast. But that's just me. Thanks for the nice tour!

Informative, Engaging, and Worthwhile

Jacob and Nowshad were recommended to us via Viator and were an asset to our trip to Ireland for our Honeymoon. The Giants Causeway was a particular favorite of ours for this excursion and we highly encourage anyone desiring to tour this incredible country to seek out Jacob and Nowshad for expert knowledge, driving capabilities, and the charming dry wit that the Irish are well known for.
