A fantastic morning

Anne and Rory were a fantastic duo on this morning half day trip to the giants causeway. Anne is very knowledgable about the history of Northern Ireland and together they made a great team having some laughs along the way. We had a brilliant morning at the giants causeway. A beautiful and breathtaking part of the country. Thank you for a great trip.

Exceptional Trip

This was perfect as we had limited time in Belfast but desperately wanted to see the Giant's Causeway! A half day trip but so full of information about the history of Ireland and what life was like. Thank you Anne and Rory for a fabulous trip. Highly recommended.

Good

Our tour guide is very knowledgeable, she shared everything about Belfast very genuinely. Gained more knowledge about history of Northern Ireland and the travel tips. The Irish music played in the bus is wonderful.

Giants causeway half day from Belfast

We found the half day excursion to Giants Causeway perfect for our quick visit to Belfast. Just the right amount of time spent, informative narrator and beautiful countryside.
