I can not say enough positive things about Frank our your guide. He was knowledgeable and accommodating at all levels. Adding the snacks and water along with making sure we had pictures together to picking us up to get us to the next spot before crowds. To making sure we had time at a local place for lunch...what an amazing day! And thank you for sharing the Ireland story we will always have the Irish people in our 💕

Absolutely outstanding. Frank (Francis) was the best. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We were a group of four. The Mercedes van was comfortable, clean and well stocked with drinks and snacks. The trip was tailored to our wishes. The Giants Causeway was the highlight and but the other stops were excellent as well. Highly recommend!
Such a wonderful day!! Michael was prompt, communicated well in advance to arrange pick up location and time, was very knowledgeable about the area and all around a good guy!! Had we booked a similar tour with our cruise ship, it would have cost almost twice as much and we would not have received the individualized service. He took photos for us, and put together a little video as well. Top notch!
The private luxury North Coast Causeway Tour from Belfast was the best part of our trip to Ireland. Our tour guide Michael was the best. He was so knowledgeable and helped us utilize every minute of our day with him. He also took photos of our whole family at every spot, which was so nice because otherwise we wouldn’t have had any photos of all of us. Really, that was such a nice bonus. Michael grew up in divided Belfast and on our way back to the bus station gave us a bonus tour of the Peace Wall along with a detailed tour of both adjoining neighborhoods. What an incredible and gut wrenching story of The Troubles and how it still shapes Belfast to this day. Absolutely recommend Michael and this tour.
We had the driver Cormac. He was knowledgeable, prompt, attentive and just a grand help. The owner was wonderful to deal with as I wanted to adjust plans several times. I can’t recommend any better company!
The driver was very professional and friendly, he is also very knowledgeable in all the places that he brought us to. We are a family of 6 travelling from Malaysia, the driver picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off at the same spot at the end. Travelling along the North Coast is something that I’ve always wanted to do and this service was the perfect fit to do the job. If you’re looking for a relaxing, flexible and comfortable trip, this is the right choice for you. Will definitely use the service again when we are in town!
Michael was wonderful. It was an excellent experience. He was very knowledgeable and very fun. We learned all about the history and he was very flexible about what we wanted to see and do, and what we were interested in. He was super accommodating. If we are ever to return to the area he would be our first call. Bonnie
Mick made us feel so pampered on this private tour. From the time we were picked up at the cruise port, we knew we were in great hands. This was an absolutely fantastic day and tour of Northern Ireland! Mick showed us highlights of Northern Ireland and worked to modify the tour for our interests. We are still talking about our stops at Royal Port Rush before The Open and other personalized stops, in addition to the castles, Giants Causeway, ice cream treats and the many beautiful views along the way. You will not be disappointed with this tour. Mick made us feel so welcome in Ireland and if we ever go back, we're booking with Mick again!
Our driver took us to several great places in the outskirts of Belfast. We spent the majority of the day near water. There were 4 of us on this trip to the Causeway which was so much more than the pictures and description we saw on the website. We then to the fisherman's bridge. We hiked down to see a specular water view and unusual bridge. Gerald was so knowledgeable and friendly. I would ask for him again if I come back to Belfast.
Robert is passionate about his country and is quite knowledgeable about its history and political issues. He’s friendly and really made an effort to create an enjoyable day for us. He took us to interesting venues and paced his tour to accommodate our interests. He brought some snacks for our journey. I highly recommend this tour- and Robert, personally.
Michael was our driver and he made the trip amazing. We were very fortunate to have him. When in Belfast this Co. and trip is a must! The coast is incredible and we also did the Peace wall tour with him. This was so moving and gave us a totally new perspective of the history. So worth it!
After some confusion with pick up location and our names, the tour went great! Peter was a fun driver and we would recommend this private tour!
Robert was a great guide! Super knowledgeable and friendly! Would definitely book an excursion with him again!
An absolutely wonderful, comprehensive tour that is easily amended to take into account traffic, crowded areas, etc. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Michael as your guide.
Eamon, our tour driver was wonderful. We were on time to see all the sights. He was friendly, informative, and flexible with our wishes. The Giants Causeway was magnificent. The weather was not cooperative as it was cold, rainy, and windy. However, we stopped at several sights and still were able to take in the beauty and get lovely pictures. Thanks Eamonn for a great tour!
Our tour was fantastic. Paul our guide was experienced, knowledgeable, knew the best photo stops and a great lunch place. We hit all the game of thrones locals,the 2025 open golf course and the murals of Belfast. Spectacular day!
We see we saw some great sites with Michael he was a great chauffeur and made the most of our times. Would very highly recommend.
Paul was an awesome driver and customized our stops. He was very informative and we enjoyed our trip a lot!
A rainy day but it didn’t impair a great tour. Michael was very professional, informative and friendly. He did his best to make the trip fun and very worthwhile in spite of the weather. We enjoyed his conversation immensely. We would recommend him highly to others.
This was a nice way to see Northern Ireland in a day. The guide knew the lay of the land, where to get the best pictures, and gave a good lunch recommendation. We had a multigenerational group so moved a bit slower than a group of young adults would have and we skipped the distillery. Unfortunately we did not get to do the rope bridge due to high winds and we didn’t have time to see Belfast itself but overall a good tour.
I would not recommend. I payed $800.00 for two people, it definitely was not worth it! A tour guide that did not know his own itinerary and wanted to change it so that he could get us back to Belfast as soon as possible. It felt very rushed. I had originally booked the private tour for 8 to 9 hours including tickets to a few of the stops. I have traveled all over the world and this by far was the worst private tour. I am a flexible traveler so it surprised me it was this bad. The tour guide Michael was late arriving but I can overlooked that as I know things can happen. However, once the tour started he wasn’t sure if we were four hours or eight hours, again I can overlook that, not a big deal and I said I booked for an all day tour. The first stop was dark hedges and proceeded to go to Bush Mills distillery which the tour included tickets. He dropped us off to take pictures and told us to go to the gift store and then asked me if I liked whiskey and I said yes and he said OK good then go get yourself a drink! When we returned to the van I spoke up and stated this included a tour with tickets to the distillery tour. He was very back-and-forth in his reasonings and told me that I needed to purchase tickets before the tour started and I needed to talk to Emily. I told Michael that I have no idea who Emily is and have never spoke to an Emily when booking this tour. I then showed him the entire itinerary I booked with the company and he seemed annoyed. His reactions were disappointing and ruined the whole day, but my spouse and I decided to make the best of it. I had originally booked us for five people which included some of my family and I am so glad that it just ended up being myself and my partner as it was a very disappointing tour and I saved myself some embarrassment from my family. He then said he wanted to save some time and dropped us off for lunch and when he picked us up back from lunch he said do guys want to do the Bushmill distillery tour or not or we could just go to the Giants Causeway!?? What! We wanted to do the distillery tour when we were there the first time! It was very confusing, he now had tickets to take us and so we just decided to go with the flow and he now drove back to the BushMills distillery and we did the 130 tour. We then got to the Giants Causeway, again no tickets were provided so we just did the walk to the causeway and back, which I found out later he could’ve actually driven us down to the site instead of us taking a 40 minute walk. That day it was windy and rainy and I have knee problems, the drop off and pick up at the actual causeway would’ve been helpful. It seemed like this was his way of wasting time so we didn’t have the opportunity to stop at any other sites and just drove us back to Belfast. After the Giants Causeway he proceeded to tell us he would take us back to Belfast as our tour ended at six when in actuality he didn’t pick us up until close to 1015 and the tour I booked was for 8 to 9 hours. We still had time to do one of the 3 to 4 stops that he didn’t take us to but I wanted to just get back to Belfast to my hotel room and forget about this day! We did not stop at the Ballintoy Harbor or the rope bridge or the Cerrikus castle. I would not recommend this tour company as I just checked their website and they have now changed their itinerary to exclude any entrance fees and they’ve taken a few of the stops off of their itinerary. Not a reputable company in my eyes! I would not recommend this tour at all!
Getting to the natural wonders along the coast (and those on route) in great comfort and with an accommodating local driver. We also got to locations that coaches can not access. More expensive than a shared coach tour but well worth the premium.
Michael was a great driver! It was rainy on and off, but he consistently opened the doors for us, picked us up right in front of the entrance, and made us feel like top priority all day. He was flexible with the itinerary, and was very communicative. We loved our day!
Belfast was our favorite stop on our Northern European cruise. JP was an awesome tour guide and took us to all of the greatest spots for amazing photos and memories!
Friendly and knowledgeable guide, excellent customer service and good value for money. Tour included stops at rope bridge, giant’s causeway, Dunluce Castle and Bushmills for whiskey tasting. A brilliant day out!
It was a wonderful tour. John Paul allowed us to tweak the tour to include both the coastal sites including the Dark Hedges, Giant Causeway, Dunluce castle, rope bridge viewpoint, several harbors with a stop at the Bushmill distillery while doing a quick tour of the political murals and Peace wall. They were very accommodating letting us start at noon after a flight arrival and gracious with delays and still allowing us a full 8 hours to see as much as possible. John was very knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information at each stop. We had a spacious Mercedes van for our family of 5. Would highly recommend John Paul for a great tour.
We booked this tour to do with family visiting from Australia and we had a wonderful day! Starting with a leisurely drive along the beautiful coast road we stopped at the rope bridge, the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and finished up with a whiskey tasting at Bushmills. There was plenty of time at each stop to explore and take photos. Our driver JP was knowledgeable, friendly and couldn’t have been nicer. When we needed to change the day of our tour, Michael was very accommodating. This is an all around excellent service. Highly recommended!!
John was so friendly and hospitable for our family of four including two teen girls. He made it so interesting by showing us the best sights of the area but also tie in sights that would cater to everyone own interests in our party. Everyone had a blast! Highly recommend.
Our driver shared the stories and facts of Ireland. He took us to each location in a very considerate way being sure of our comfort and letting us as a family judge our adventures. He was a terrific host!
Michael was a wonderful guide and driver. He was able to show us the most wonderful sites in the limited amount of time that we had . I would highly recommend this option if you are on a cruise ship and need to be back before it sails without you. Pictures and wonderful memories the extraordinarily beautiful Irish coast.
Michael was great! Friendly, laid back and knowledgable. Gave us ample time, with a guide of how long we should stay at each place. He did the tour in reverse to avoid traffic. Highly recommend using him when you are on vacation! We loved it!
We had a great tour with him through Belfast, originally booked for Giant’s Causeway and Titanic museum but he was able to recommend some additional stops and we got in some great extra sights and experiences. Very friendly, and knowledgeable of the area. Would definitely recommend and utilize his services if we are ever in the area again in the future.
We originally booked a day trip to the Giant’s Causeway with a big coach company, and they were overbooked so Michael was contracted to be our guide instead. And while it wasn’t the day trip we were expecting, it definitely did not disappoint. Michael was very friendly and accommodating if we had a request, and he even added a few stops to the itinerary for photo opportunities. He managed to time things perfectly so that we avoided the big tour coach most of the way, meaning that at each stop we had fewer people around for a better experience. The day didn’t feel rushed, each stop felt like it was for the perfect amount of time. I have no regrets whatsoever that we weren’t able to get on the big coach, we had a great day.
Friendly, knowledgeable driver. Clean vehicle. Went out of his way to make the trip special. Highly recommended. Will definitely use the next time I come here.
A really excellent tour taking us from Belfast along the scenic coastline all the way to the Giants Causeway, Michael was very well spoken, informative and friendly, didn’t mind even playing camera man for the duration. Highly recommend 👍
We went and did the Giants Causeway tour, from the moment we were picked up everything was excellent. The chauffeur Michael was very friendly and easy to talk too. He was well spoken and had an indepth knowledge of everything he showed us. Would definitely hire him again and would definitely recommend
I had an amazing time with this gentleman he knows the ins and outs of Ireland. He's well spoken and great driver to have along my side
Had a wonderful day a great guide and a real gentleman would gladly. Go back on a tour with him again so knowledge able about the causeway tour I am going to recommend him to my friends and I thank him for his kindness
Michael is an absolutely amazing Chaffeur. He picked us up from the airport to give us a ride into Belfast city. Such a lovely man, very talkative, informative and passionate about Belfast, it’s history and his work. Highly recommend Michael for a tour or chaffeur. Thanks Michael :) !
What can I say about Michael from start to finish,, he was on time!! very easy to get on with!!! and he knew exactly everything about the beautiful Belfast city.. anybody looking to do a tour with him! HE IS YOUR MAN!!!!
What can I say!? Brilliant fella was Michael. Our tour was to start at 11am, he was at our hotel at 10.30am waiting on us. (That's a first for me) He took Me, My wife and the 3 Children (8,5,2) on the North Coast Tour. Even offered a child seat for the 2 years old which was great. Price was really reasonable, vehicle was outstanding and Michael was really good fun and knowledgeable about the tour and places for us to around the hotel (Fitzwilliam hotel we stayed in). Top quality ☆☆☆☆☆
Very helpful and friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and use if we return to Belfast.
Paul, our driver, made the trip truly unforgettable. Very concerned about us, about showing us Belfast and its surroundings, its history, and answering all our questions. Really highly recommended.
