The Giants Causeway, the main attraction of the North Antrim Coast is one of the brightest and best attractions on the whole island of Ireland. The Causeway itself has plenty of Irish myths for your guide to tell while your visit to the attraction is under way. To see the Giants Causeway is certainly breath-taking but to experience it with the beliefs of a giant actually building it, is another. The hexagonal patterns that create the different structure like formations through the rocks can be verified by none other than yourself with things like 'The Wishing Chair', 'The Camel', 'The Giants Foot' and the Cliff-Top Path, all of which you will be shown during your experience! Admission to the Giants Causeway is free although there are operational shuttle buses that cost £1 for transport to the Causeway from the carpark, alternatively you can walk the short scenic route with no cost at all. Admission to the Giant's Causeway is free, there is a separate fee into the visitors centre.

In 1608, in Bushmills, a legend was born. In that year, King James I granted a very particular licence to this small village, just a few miles inland from Northern Ireland’s rugged north coast. The licence gave Bushmills the right to distil whiskey. Today, Bushmills is home to the oldest licenced whiskey distillery in the world. Over 400 years later, they’re still making whiskey in Bushmills. They’re still using Irish barley - and the unique water from their own stream too. Four centuries’ worth of craft and experience ensure that these whiskeys are amongst the most celebrated and the most savoured in the world. But as master distiller Colum Egan says, ‘we’re not good because we’re old, we’re old because we’re good’. Tasting only..
Cross the iconic Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and experience one of Northern Ireland’s most thrilling coastal attractions. Suspended almost 100 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, the historic rope bridge connects the mainland to a tiny rocky island once used by salmon fishermen over 350 years ago. Enjoy breathtaking sea views, dramatic cliffs, and unforgettable photo opportunities along the spectacular Causeway Coast.
We had an amazing day exploring Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Bushmills and Tope Bridge. We were picked up directly from our hotel by a very knowledgeable guide. We weren’t rushed and felt we got a very good understanding of the region. I would recommend to anyone visiting NI.
Our group of six had the most amazing day on this private tour. We departed from Belfast, with Paul picking us up directly from our Air BNB. We then drove to Giant’s Causeway, arriving just before the crowds. We climbed and walked, taking pictures, and stayed as long as we wanted. We then went into town and stopped for coffee and breakfast before moving on to Bushmills Distillery. A few in our party had a whiskey tasting, and did a bit of shopping. We then moved on to Dunluce Castle, and explored the ruins before capping off the day at Carrick a Rede rope bridge. Each stop was perfect, with us staying as long or as briefly as we wanted. Paul was an amazing host, answering our questions about the historic and political context in the region with both facts and personal perspectives. 10/10 recommend this tour!
We had the best day with Stephen. He was just the perfect person to show us some of the most beautiful places outside Belfast. We went to The Kings Road, had tea and delicious treats there too. Then on to Carrick-a-rede where we walked the gorgeous cliffs and over the rope bridge. Then the Giants Causeway, also a fab scenic walk to this the 4th greatest natural wonder in the UK. Stephen had chilled water and drinks, lots of snacks, a big comfy ride and kept us entertained with Irish stories and family customs. The best day, we'll be back.
We had such a wonderful day with lots of memories for the future. Thank you Chris for your warmth and hospitality. We saw so much and really enjoyed ourselves - thank you!
Incredible day. Chris was fantastic and so thoughtful to the needs of the group. We saw so much and had opportunities to customize as we wish. Truly a 5 star experience.
Our tour guide Chris was amazing. From local knowledge to a personality that made us feel like we had known him for years, he was great. Everything we saw did not disappoint.
We had a terrific tour with Paul! He switched up the usual itinerary after we told him our interests and it worked out splendidly. Paul not only was very knowledgable, but he had a lovely sense of humor. We highly recommend him for tours in the North of Ireland!
Awesome tour! It was really nice to go at our own pace and spend the time on things we wanted to see. Paul makes the trip even more fun and interesting with his knowledge of history and quick-witted humor. This is the tour company you want to book!
This experience was EPIC! Not only were the views breathtaking but we had the most spectacular tour guide ever. Paul made us feel like family. He let us know that our happiness mattered to him as he catered to our experience. Because of him, this tour will is my favorite! If you don't get Paul I don't even know what you're doing with your life! 😁
Perfectly paced tour! The rope bridge is a MUST DO! Our guide Paul was informative and added a lot to the experience!
We had a lots of fun time with Chris all over the day, he took us for best places to view, highly recommend to book this taxi and made your day with lots of memories with your beloved ones.
This tour was amazing! The views are obviously to die for- but what topped it off was our guide, Paul. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, prepared and just always willing to go above and beyond. He definitely made the experience that much better- as he didn’t just chauffeur us around, but rather he helped bring it all to life for us!
It was an amazing experience. The tour guide Stephen was extremely nice, professional and helpful. The ride was smooth the locations were amazing. Ride made pleasant with the whiskey drinks and snacks. I would highly recommend it and if I visit again will be doing this tour again for sure!
Our your guide, Paul, was very engaging and colorful providing us amazing information about history, current events, politics and some cool Irish trivia! The sites were amazing and the car perfect, but without a great guide I'm sure we would have missed out on so much of our AMAZING experience! A+ across the board!
Cannot recommend Paul at Taxi Tours NI enough!! We had the best experience yesterday on a tour with him. Having lived through the times himself he is very passionate and knowledgeable and we truly found him and the tour fascinating - we are still gobsmacked about what we learnt! Paul is super friendly and fun and we really couldn’t have asked for a better guide to educate us on what went on here in NI. Thank you Paul! X
Me and my wife booked with Paul from TaxiToursNI, the trip was amazing! We took a 2 day tour around the North Coast and Belfast City and it was in our opinion the best tour we've taken in a long time! The Coast is beautiful and Belfast City has so much history not to mention our amazing guide Paul, so much knowledge, so down to earth and friendly, at the beginning he was our guide, by the end he was a friend! Highly Recommended A+++
