He made the trip really enjoyable, sharing lots of interesting facts and stories along the way. The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole experience was wonderful. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Paul

Fantastic day out touring the Antrim coast with Paul. Excellent knowledge and a good raconteur. Helped by great weather. We were a group of 6. Excellent value for money, and a nice surprise at the end. No spoilers.
Paul is an excellent tour guide and driver. He quietly and calmly led us to several points of interest in addition to the Giants Causeway while relieving the time constraints and pressure of riding a crowded bus associated with the Cruise sponsored tour version. The individual attention given our group of 4 was wonderful and informative. His vehicle was very comfortable and his demeanour a delightful mix of humor, sincerity and knowledge of N Ireland, its people and cultural legacy. We will look forward to scheduling with him again should we be blessed to return to his beautiful country!
We booked Paul for a Giant’s Causeway tour, but the tour began the minute we got in the van, as we learned about Irish history and about The Troubles. We were able to customize the tour and spend more time at the sites we wanted to see. We were also able to visit small harbor villages we wouldn’t have been able to see on a big tour bus. We can’t say enough good about Giant’s Causeway Tours.
If you’re planning a visit to Northern Ireland, stop searching and book a tour with Paul. It was, without question, one of the highlights of our entire trip to Ireland. We traveled from Dublin to Belfast by train (about two hours), and Paul met us right outside the train station and returned us there at the end of the day. It couldn’t have been easier. One of the things that sets Paul apart is that he tailors the day to your interests. You can choose your own itinerary, let him create one, or combine the two. His only goal is to make sure you have an unforgettable experience—and he absolutely succeeds. Having lived his entire life in Ireland, Paul has an incredible knowledge of the country’s history, politics, folklore, and landmarks. He explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, welcomes every question, and has a fantastic sense of humor that keeps the day fun and engaging. Our day included breathtaking coastal drives, charming seaside villages, a beautiful castle (about €5 admission and well worth the 45-minute visit), the spectacular Giant’s Causeway—where Paul even covered our admission—the famous Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge experience, the Dark Hedges, and a drive through Belfast where we saw the Titanic shipyard, the Peace Walls separating communities, and the hotel where President Bill Clinton stayed. Paul also took us to a wonderful local restaurant for lunch. Since there was so much to see, our group chose takeaway so we could maximize our sightseeing. Throughout the day, there were plenty of opportunities for restroom breaks, snacks, and drinks. His comfortable Volkswagen van made traveling relaxing, and he even provided charging cables for our phones—a thoughtful touch since you’ll be taking hundreds of photos and videos. Paul truly goes above and beyond in every way. His passion for Northern Ireland, his professionalism, his flexibility, and his genuine hospitality make this far more than just a sightseeing tour—it’s an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. If you want to see the very best of Northern Ireland in a single day, there is simply no better way than touring with Paul. We would book with him again without hesitation. Five stars isn’t enough!
The four of us had an excellent experience with Paul in our day long tour. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the multiple sites we visited, as well as the history of Ireland and the troubles. He adjusted the tour around our interests and the weather and didn't have a rigid timeline.
Paul was fabulous! He picked up our group of 5 at the Titanic Hotel in Belfast and drove us up the coast. He had a headset that connected witht the vehicle speakers which was great for the people in the back of the van. He was knowledgeable, personable and pointed out so many details on our drive. Would recommend him to friends and family!!!
We had a great day with Paul Green and are happy to endorse and recommend him. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating.
Traveled to Belfast for business for 4 days and wanted to see the North coast without getting on a bus or renting a car. I booked a private solo tour with Paul and so happy I did. Paul is not only an amazing guide, he's down-to-earth, friendly, funny and easy to spend a day with. Had a lot of laughs and was able to see so much more than I could have ever seen getting on an off a bus all day. Well worth the cost- avoided crowds and you can see so much more with a private tour. Such beautiful countryside with so much history, and not to mention a lot of Game of Thrones sites. While I'm sure there are a lot of great guides in this very friendly country, I can tell you with certainty Paul is one of them.
Paul picked us up on time from our hotel in Belfast. We took off towards the Antrim coast and he explained what we were seeing along the way. Very informative and stopped a few different times at small stops that he thought we might like.
We had an amazing day with Paul on his Giants Causeway Day Tour! This is a must do tour! We stopped at several places along the way to the causeway. We were also able to cross the Carrick - a - rede rope bridge which was an awesome experience! Most tours just take you to a viewing spot. Highly recommend!
Paul was a fantastic guide! He is very friendly, full of interesting facts, and had answers to our many questions.
Very enjoyable and interesting ride to Dark Hedges and Giants Causeway. Our driver, Paul, was full of stories and Irish history. We were there for sunset and it did not disappoint.
Paul was a pure delight and so informative. He was fun to be with as a tour guide. I would recommend him highly.
What a truly incredible experience! Paul was friendly, knowledgeable, and so attentive. We had asked for a sunset tour of the Causeway, and he worked closely with us on that. We also stopped at several stops along the way that were just beautiful. Paul was a wealth of knowledge, and we really enjoyed hearing about his perspective on growing up in Belfast during the Troubles. The Causeway was absolutely breathtaking at sunset. We can’t recommend Paul and this tour enough. Thank you so much - we will remember this forever! Kathy, Lori, Lisa, and Kendra
What an amazing adventure from start to finish. Paul (tour guide) was amazing, so much knowledge, shared personal stories & memories, genuine nice guy. We were treated to a stop at the haunted tower and a quick whiskey tasting at the distillery, Clean and comfortable journey, little touches with water and crisps Highly recommend From John & Becky
Paul was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and a very nice person as well. On the first day we toured Belfast up to Giants Causeway. We enjoyed the time with Paul so much that we booked him for a second day to take us south to Newcastle and Tollymore Forest. He was very knowledgeable. Educated us about TheTroubles as well as Northern Ireland in general. Would highly recommend him. He’s the best.
Giant's Causeway Private Tour: Simply Amazing! We had an absolutely outstanding experience on our private tour to the Giant's Causeway and the Antrim Coast. Everything, from the breathtaking scenery to the exceptional service, exceeded our expectations. The Giant's Causeway itself is beautiful and a must-see. We also found the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge was entirely worth the visit—it was a definite thrill and offered incredible coastal views. The true highlight of the day was our guide, Paul. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing history and stories that brought the region to life. He wasn't just a guide; he made us feel completely at ease and comfortable, almost like we were traveling with family. If you're looking for a personalized, fun, and deeply insightful tour, we cannot recommend Paul and this private experience highly enough. It was an unforgettable day!
Guide was very good and we saved a lot not joining the cruise ships expensive tours…..I would highly recommend this!
Great tour of Giants Causeway! Paul was a great guide and was very knowledgeable of all the towns we passed through and history of the area. We enjoyed the private tour and having his full attention to our questions. We had lots of time to explore the Giants Causeway and hike the full path. Beautiful landscape and very interesting stories about the formation of the rock formations. Highly recommend!
Me and my friend booked the full 8-hour Giants Causeway private coastal tour from Belfast with Paul. We had a great day and highly recommend this. Paul is easy going, knowledgeable and great to talk to. His vehicle was comfortable and he’s a skilled driver. He knows the coastal area well and how to go about it. The price is reasonable and fair in my opinion, and well worth doing this option versus being herded on a bus tour. Paul was flexible and let us take as much time on our own as we wanted for various things throughout the day. A prime example is walking/hiking the Giant’s Causeway trails. Since that interested us the most, we took the time for an extended hike/walk and Paul told us exactly how to go about it (excellent “local knowledge”). Great walk and stunning views, which we would have missed if we opted for a bus tour instead. We also decided to book a separate Belfast city “Troubles” mural tour with Paul for later in the week. He had an open slot on his schedule and we grabbed it because we really enjoyed the coastal tour and wanted to keep the continuity with Paul. Highly recommend this as well. He’s a wealth of knowledge on the subject and took the time to share it with us in detail.
We had an excellent day touring the Antrim Coast with Paul. From our first e-mail exchange, Paul was friendly and very helpful in planning our day. We went to the Carrick-a-Redde Rope Bridge, Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, the Dark Hedges, and Paul took us to other sites along the way and pointed out things as we drove along the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Coast. Paul is a wealth of information about the sites we were seeing as well as Northern Ireland. His passenger van is very comfortable for a day of driving (my husband even commented on it!) Paul is friendly, easy going, and great to spend the day with. I highly recommend Giant's Causeway Private Tour and Paul!
We had a fantastic day with Paul, he was so knowledgeable and a great tour guide. The trip along the coast, our stops at the bridge, causeway, distillery and lunch made for a great taste of Northern Ireland.
Would highly recommend. Paul, you were great, had a fantastic day. You altered the trip to suit my needs perfectly. This was an experience I will not forget. Thank you.
Paul took a group of us to the Giants Causeway on Saturday 23rd August and we had a wonderful day. Paul was the perfect host providing water, snacks and uplifting tunes for the 3-hour drive along the beautiful coastal road. He was also very knowledgeable, we learnt so much about Belfast, The Giants Causeway and all the sights along the way to the famous rocks, which included some of the famous Game of Thrones filming locations and a haunted hotel! If you are visiting Belfast make sure you call on Paul. You won’t regret it!
I am so glad we found Paul to be our driver and guide. He was amazing and he went above and beyond for us. Even loaning one of our group his spare trainers when hers fell apart. He also provided us with water and crisps. He obviously loves what he does and was so jolly and informative. We went the scenic route to the rope bridge and causeway and he made several stops of interest. He was so easy to chat to and play our requests of music. Paul was so easy going and took photos and videos of us. He definately made it a day to remember. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Paul for a perfect day.
This is a fantastic tour which is amazing to experience with family and friends. Paul is an incredible guide and helped us create a trip which had something for the whole party. The coastline was stunning, the Causeway was magical and the rope bridge unforgettable. We managed to fit in so much without ever feeling rushed. Paul was able to share so much knowledge with us about the local area and this, along with his friendly style helped make this such a special trip. Highly recommend!
Great trip, saw so many great places, the highlights being the Causeway and the rope bridge. Paul was full of information and tales. He also was incredibly friendly and had long discussions about Northern Ireland. Great value for money
Our oldest son had an ambitious plan for our 10 hours in Belfast (a port stop for our cruise): Giants Causeway AND Game of Thrones Tour! Our travel agent found Paul Green of Giants Causeway Private Tours and thank goodness he did! Paul met us at the dock and off we went. The car was clean and fresh and spacious. He provided waters for us and a wonderful narrative as we drove along the beautiful coast after a quick photo stop at Carrickfergus Castle. Loved listening to Paul tell us about the films shot there (How to Train Your Dragon / Game of Thrones, etc.), the haunted castles, and the many tales along the scenic drive. Even in the rain, it was a gorgeous view. And Paul made it so easy for us as soon as we got to the Causeway, providing us with umbrellas, a timely excursion, and details for our Causeway experience. He was ready and waiting for us (our family ran a few minutes late getting back to the car--that was on us, but he made up the time getting us back to Belfast for our bus to GOT with time to spare!). We felt very safe the whole way (so comfortable, in fact, that a couple in our group even got in a quick nap along the way after a late night on the cruise! It was such a soothing ride!). We are also grateful for the thoughtful souvenirs he provided us which we will always proudly hold dear from an incredible excursion to the Coast of Northern Ireland. If I could give 100 stars I would. Paul is the BEST! TOP Recommendation!!!! Would use again and again!
Our driver Paul was amazing and informative such a nice man. He educated us about the Northern Ireland history and was very accommodating the entire day. He took us to castle ruins and down the spectacular coast to the Giant Causeway. A wonderful day we highly recommend the private driver route. Fabulous.
If I could give this 6 stars I would! An incredible experience with an extremely knowledgeable, good humoured, and most friendly guide, Paul. The journey from Belfast up to the north, via the idyllic countryside of Ireland, was extremely comfortable, breathtaking, and made all the more satisfying by a friendly host. If you have the time during your trip to Ireland you must take time to fit this in to your itinerary.......the beautiful coast, the majesty of Dunluce Castle, and the spectacular Giants Causeway! A fantastic day 🙂
What a great day out! The sites were amazing and made all the better due to Paul’s superb knowledge and insight on them. Awesome trip with a fantastic host. Highly recommended!
Paul was an amazing and super knowledgeable guide! We had such a great time on our day trip. He gave us the best recommendations, perfectly tailored to our schedule and interests.
Paul was an amazing guide, this was a wonderful tour. His insights of where to go and how to experience the causeways was spot on. We had a group of 6 and it was our best tour this vacation.
Paul was very knowledgeable and may a point of taking us to areas we were interested in. He tried to fit in as much as he could for us without making us feel rushed or too tired.
Had a womderfull experiance today .paul was extremely intellegent .give us all a excellent tour around the beautiful Antrim coast .
Paul was rad, it was a great time and I both learned so much and had a wonderful experience :) it was our favorite day in belfast!

Went to causeway with english mates great time had with brillant scenary and Paul great guide highly recomend if youre in N Ireland
We had a great time with the Giant Causeway Tour today and totally love it. We've been to the Giant Causeway, the Carrick-a-Rede Bridge, the dark Hedges, and many other prominent places I can't remember, haha. Paul, our guide is a very nice person and professional in explaining the local culture and history. We are the group of 3 asian people, including 2 seniors. He always finds a better way for us to make the tour convenient.
The trip was amazing. Paul was awesome. So accommodating and knowledgeable. The rope bridge was the highlight. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience working with Paul as our local guide. He was fantastic—quick to respond to all of my questions and extremely helpful in setting everything up and promptly met us at the cruise ship. What made our tour truly special was how personalized it was. Paul tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see, rather than following a pre-established plan. He gave us the history and funny stories as we traveled the countryside. Highly recommend Paul and his services for anyone looking for a unique and customized experience!
I've taken a dozen or so tours like this over the years, and I'd wager this is the single best tour I've taken. Our guides were both excellent and engaging - we learned so much during our drive and enjoyed their humor and jokes. The tour was efficiently organized and kept running on time. We saw everything we hoped to see and had a wonderful experience the whole time. When we were driving home, Paul shared that he took a drone video of us which he later shared. What an excellent trip, don't hesitate to book this tour!
Paul picked us up on time and was so informative and humorous that it was like being on a tour with friends. He found out of the way places which was an added bonus. Car was immaculate and he even gave us water and potato crisps !! Highly highly recommended
Enjoyed all of it. Great day exploring the coast. Our tour guide Paul was great and provided a lot of history about the area, troubles etc... and gave us potatoe chips that were awesome.
While visiting Belfast we decided to book a private tour with Paul. He blew our expectations out of the water. Not only was it a trip of Northern Irelands beautiful site seeing locations, Paul was able to give us a very informative day of the culture and history of northern Ireland. Very accommodating, along the whole adventure. There was even a few pleasant surprises along the way we did not expect. I will leave that for the next guests to experience! Thanks again Paul, We would say this is a must do tour of Northern Ireland if you are staying in the Belfast area! Don't miss out!!!
Amazzzing! Guide Paul is knowledgeable, kind, proficient at handling any snafus. We 7 adults had a Most Marvelous tour with Paul. Even tho some of us had been to some of it before, it was all Brand New in his capable hands. Honestly, could not more enthusiastically endorsed this trip. Don’t pass up this op!
Paul our tour guide made it a memorable day by being punctual, informative, ready to help, patient and planning the day perfectly. Visited all the key sights and also got some extra time at a particular point when we needed. Very Good Experience.
Highlight of our trip to Belfast. The entire trip was wonderful from beginning to end. Pick up was sharply on time at our Belfast hotel. Van was impeccably clean and comfortable. Paul took care of every detail of the day; he accommodated the tour to our interests. He was kind, friendly and funny. Lovely trip, one to remember.
