Traveler reviews
Causeway takes your breath away, could have been longer in Belfast
Excellent experience and loved that our tour was a bit smaller. Our guide put in our order at a local tavern at the coast, which was absolutely gorgeous. Our guide, Frank, stopped at several random spots for extra photos along the coast, which felt like a little treat! The only bummer was that we only had an hour in Belfast and it truly wasn’t enough. If you have this amount of time your the City Hall it’s lovely and shows a brief history of Belfast.
Giants’ Causeway by Irish Day Tours
Fantastic tour! The tour guide David was great! He was funny and knowledgeable about Irish history and culture and provided wonderful comments. This tour covered a lot and David arranged two “ bonus” stops that were a wonderful surprise. The Giant’s Causeway was unforgettable experience!! As I booked this tour, I was not sure what to expect and mainly booked because of the convenient pick up location. The tour turned out to be an amazing experience, interesting, engaging and well organized. Yes, I highly recommend Irish Day Tours.
Good option
Excellent tour and our guide Patrick excellent. Everything was excellent and our guide Patrick had a lot of patience and managed to make it an excellent day for us. The attraction beautiful. The attractions are beautiful
Do not recommend
Our guide was bored and exhausted,v she spent more time complaining about her schedule than "guiding" us. She gave us no support finding a restaurant in Belfast, so we took a wrong turn and ended up in a bad neighborhood. We got desperate and ate at the first place we could find, the food made us all feel sick after. We spent way too much time on the bus and I swear the guide shaved time off how long we were supposed to be at each site based on the itinerary. Truly awful experience.
“Crack” in Belfast
Our tour guide/driver was Jordan , very nice young man . He guided us to the bus in an orderly fashion. The tour destinations were worthy considering the long journey from Dublin . Jordan gave us ample time to do and see everything at each stop . He was very knowledgeable in the subject matter. Thank you Jordan !
