We had an amazing day seeing the beautiful coast of Northern Ireland. Our guide, Francis, went above and beyond, sharing stories, history, and jokes throughout the day. Because he has lived in Norther Ireland his whole life, he was familiar with the entire area and had much knowledge to share. The countryside was beautiful. Our favorite was the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Even if you do not cross the bridge, the view of the cliffs is incredible (way more impressive than the Giants Causeway in our opinion). This was one of our favorite days of our trip!

Itinerary
Your Tour will begin from your pickup location, where you will meet your driver and guide for the day. There we will begin our journey to the north coast travelling through the rolling farmland of County Antrim.
A short stop in this charming fishing village, ideal for a comfort break and photos beside the harbour.
We make our way back to Belfast along the Antrim Coast Road where we can see fine views of Rathlin Island. The views along this coastline are spectacular, no wonder it is one of the most visited destinations in Europe!
One of the most visited places in Northern Ireland amazing Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge where you can cross a bridge that spans a chasm over 75ft in height. (Please note that crossing the Rope bridge will depend on the time you have on shore. The Carrick-A-Rede Rope bridge may sometimes be closed due to weather conditions or repairs. There will be a 1-mile walk from the car park to the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge if you have mobility issues, have small children, or use a stroller that can't handle unpaved pathways. (If you wish to cross the bridge you will need to pre-book your ticket) Please let us know before purchasing your tickets and we will advise of an approx. time of arrival. if you do not wish to cross, we can stop at the viewing point for photos.
This spectacular sandy beach forms a white arc between two headlands on the North Antrim Coast. Its secluded location means that even on a busy day there is plenty of room for quiet relaxation.
You will visit the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern Ireland. Stop at the Giant’s Causeway to enjoy around 1 hour exploring the 40,000 interlocking hexagonal stone columns on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Hexagonal basalt columns formed during a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago.
A relaxed lunch stop at the Causeway Hotel, set right beside the Giant's Causeway. Enjoy a bite to eat and a hot drink at your own pace before we continue along the coast. Lunch is at your own expense.
Old Bushmills Distillery: Bushmills Whiskey Distillery has been creating beautiful ‘water of life ‘since 1608 making this the oldest working distillery in Ireland. Visit the tasting room for sampling.
We continue a wonderful day with a photo stop at the ruins of Dunluce Castle.
One of the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges were used as a set for the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It was the famous King’s Road in Season 2. The hedges were planted by the Stuart family in the eighteenth century.

Murat was amazing. Had a few difficulties on my part and Murat said “no problem.” Made what could have been a disastrous day into a great experience. Is knowledge and expertise are top notch, knows everyone and everyone knows him. We had a great time exploring the coast of Northern Ireland from Belfast to the Gaints Causeway. The only thing missing was the Irish brogue but he made up for that many times over. Thank you Murat for a wonderful day.
A group of 6 travellers from Australia travelling on the Princess Cruise ship. We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Belfast Tours NI. Murat truly went above and beyond to make our day special, taking us to hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. Everything was perfectly organised—he was incredibly punctual, and the communication from start to finish was exceptional. A lovely touch was Murat reserving a table for us at a beautiful restaurant at the Causeway Hotel which made the day feel even more seamless and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and well-curated tour with a very informative experience!
Tour guide was wonderful, very knowledgeable and personable. Took us to all the places we wanted to see. Lunch was delicious. Thank You, will definitely book again. Best, Nandani
We have a group of 16 people taking a cruise ship vacation. Belfast Tours NI arranged 2 eight-seater vans taking us to visit some of the famous locations in Northern Irland. We were very lucky to have a wonderful weather for the amazing scenery. Both drivers were very nice and knowledgeable, willing to accommodating our needs along the way. The service is wonderful but it would be better if we could have a bigger van to take us all together. Also, to have a microphone/speaker in the car so the people in the back can hear better.
Awesome day! Saw everything we wanted to see, Giants Causeway, titanic museum, rope bridge, dark hedges, and the countryside.
We had booked this tour back in January and the communication with Murat was quick and efficient. Our tour guide was Michael Smith and he was very informative and professional. He knows the history of Belfast and North Ireland very well and he was very interesting. He made sure that we had enough time to visit all the sites that we had planned. We highly recommend Michael as a private tour guide.
Fabulous private tour from the Belfast cruise terminal to Giant’s Causeway and Antrim Coast with Belfast Tours (Private Tours of Northern Ireland). Spectacular scenery. Our driver John Collighon was exceptional. The tour has been the highlight of our Iceland/UK cruise.
Francis is such a gentleman! We enjoyed our visit to Belfast! He is very knowledgeable about the history of Ireland! His stories were fascinating! I think my husband could have talked with him for days! The little off the path photo ops were much appreciated! I would highly recommend! Thank you
Wonderful service, and a perfect itinerary! Will definitely add Belfast Tours NI to my list of favorites :)
We hired 'Belfast Tours NI ' for our port stop in Belfast. Murat was a pleasure to work with. My wife and I are both in the US travel industry and we can not say enough positives about our time with Belfast Tours NI . Informative, adaptable and quick to respond to emails. In Belfast our day with Murat was fantastic. Van was immaculate, roomy (4a 1 teen). Murat was so flexible and added little extras here and there that made it a fantastic day while taking in the full breadth of the Antrim Coastal area and its long history without EVER feeling rushed, all while managing to give us time to ourselves to explore locations as a family too. No rush/panic to find a place to eat. Reservations pre-booked at a nice convenient restaurant that coincided with our lengthy time at the Giant's Causeway. Top to bottom ... no regrets, no issues. Fantastic day. Do NOT hesitate to book him. We will be recommending Belfast Tours NI to all our industry peers and family
Murat and team were amazing. We started a little late and he made sure we made it to every spot. He had wifi, drinks and a Playlist that was satisfactory to a bunch of teens. He did everything he could to keep our finicky teens happy. He even had pounds readily available when we needed change. I would not hesitate to book another tour. Murat is awesome!
It was great to be able to customize the tour and times at each stop to fit our needs. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the tour and all of the stops. Sid was a fabulous tour guide!
We just finished a two week British Isles cruise, and among the six adults that went, we all agreed that this was one of the highlights of our trip. Our driver was Sid and he was fantastic! We took us to several little stops along with the listed highlights of the coast and Giant’s Causeway. He added breaks with recommendations for perfect places to find local snacks and meals. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Sid was a great driver, knowledgeable and personable.
From start to finish, we had an amazing experience with Belfast Tours NI! Murat was very prompt in answering questions and arranging our custom tour via email. On the day of the tour, Sid met us as the Belfast cruise port and providing an incredible tour! He shared personal stories and facts, customized things along the way to accommodate our Game of Thrones fans, and made sure we were taken care of and entertained throughout the day. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and bottled water was provided. Northern Ireland is some of the most beautiful country in the world, and a private tour through Belfast Tours NI was the perfect way to experience it!
We really enjoyed our tour with John. He was such a nice guy and gave us a great tour. The Antrim Coast is absolutely beautiful. We loved the little fishing town of Carlough Village. John gave us plenty of time to walk around and grab a coffee. Giants causeway is amazing. I have never seen anything like it. John took us to a great lunch stop where we had awesome fish & chips. Murat was also there with his tour group so it was nice meeting him. Bonus was the Guinness Beer he gave to the guys. The Dark Hedges is breath taking. We ended our tour at the Titanic Museum. Thanks again to Murat and John for providing an awesome tour.
Beyond thrilled with this tour! Worth every penny! Murat showed us more beautiful places than we could have ever hoped for. The van was extremely clean he is a great driver. Highly recommend!
Had the most wonder day with Syd. He was knowledgeable and professional. Greeted us at the cruise port with a sign. Provided us with waters. Asked what else we were doing the rest of the day after the tour and guided us to where we should go. Syd was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! Learned so much about the area! Highly recommend!
The entire day was fabulous,from Murat even arriving early to spending more time than planned. The vehicle was extremely clean and comfortable for a 9 hour day. Murat is extremely knowledgeable about all the. places we visited. We were actually able to be somewhat flexible with the schedule as we wanted to see one thing in particular and Murat made time to take us there. The scenery was spectacular and it was actually the best tour we took on the entire British Isles cruise. We'd definitely go with Murat again if we are in that par of Ireland.
I totally underestimated all the fantastic places to see and experience in Northern Ireland, in and around Belfast! With Murat as our driver/guide, my eyes and senses were opened to one of the best ports on our cruise!!! Murat made learning fun, and even though the pace seemed relaxed, he packed our day with many fun surprises! Besides all the main attractions, he took us to a beautiful waterfall in a natural park area where the buses cannot go and tourists do not frequent, and we were the only ones there! It was so peaceful and relaxing, and the water in the river ran the color of Guinness! The drive along the coast to Giant's Causeway was spectacular, and we had a very leisurely lunch there, which was much appreciated as a chance to warm up with some Irish coffee, since the weather was cold and windy (but sunny)! A highlight back in Belfast at the end was when we all signed the peace wall. Murat snapped a great picture of us, and even provided the marker to write our peace wishes with! DO BOOK THIS TOUR, if you want a day of fun adventure!
Personalized tour. Knowledgeable about the area, including small towns, famous sites, and cultural relevance. Beautiful countryside and coastal experiences. Ensured we were able to enjoy the trip and made adjustments as needed. Pleasant and sociable.
If your looking for a private tour do not hesitate - book this tour now! It is EXCELLENT: comfy spacious vehicle, every effort made to accommodate requests, great driver, interesting facts, visits to many locations and extremely good value. Murat makes sure you visit as many fabulous locations on your journey up the coast to the giants causeway. He is very knowledgable about the history and the area and always drops you off in the best places. We had a great lunch and visited Bushmills. On return to Belfast he showed us around the city including Titanic & the Peace Wall. He also made sure we were back at the ship exactly as requested. Our tour exceeded all our expectations- well done Belfast Tours NI- we will be back and we we will not hesitate to book transfers and tours again with you.
Very good vehicle equipment, drivers and tour guides are very friendly, give us a detailed introduction to every scenic spot, and when we need to park, we respond very promptly. I especially recommend Murat, the driver, who is very patient and friendly to us and has this very good driving skill. Thank you very much for his service! Absolute five-star experience! 非常好!murat大叔人非常好!非常友善和专业!
This was an Amazing tour. Murat our tour guide took us to all the big spots along with some hidden spots that were off the radar. We loved being able to take our on time to explore each location. We learned a lot of the history behind each location. We were also able to save money at each location by Murat giving us the inside details on what we really needed to see and explore. It was a full day of fun at our on pace. Highly recommend this tour if you want to visit Belfast. Thanks Murat for your professionalism and superb service!!!
We enjoyed our day with Murat. Our cruise ship arrived late due to weather but he still was able to complete most of the planned itinerary. He was quite friendly and had water, alcohol and chocolate for us. We got to see some amazing sites. His vehicle though was not comfortable for eight adults and the long distance we traveled and he did not have a microphone so though in the back were not able to hear him.
We had a perfect day with our guide Michael who showed us around N Ireland. He took into consideration the interests of our family of 5 and customized the perfect day for us to admire his beautiful country. His experience really showed as he navigated past busy parking lots to back entrances, called ahead to see if there were long waits, took us along the coastline, to a waterfall, and then into the lovely city of Belfast - he fit much more into the day than we imagined!
I would recommend this tour to anyone. It was completely customized to our requests and included everything we asked to see. We started in the city of Belfast itself and then drove up the coast road to the Giant’s Causeway. The coast road is absolutely stunning and our guide stopped numerous times for us to take photos—he knows all the great vantage points. He also knows all of the Game of Thrones filming spots. We went to so many places, it’s hard to list them all—Bushmills Distillery in a charming village of the same name, Dunluce Castle, lunch at a traditional Fish ‘N’ Chips cafe, Giant’s Causeway, White Park Bay, Carnlough, Titantic Museum, the Peace Wall, and so much more. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and gracious. He went out of his way to share the beauty of his homeland with us. He has a very comfortable, new Mercedes van with great touring windows. He also surprised us with a toast of sparkling wine! Again, I would recommend this tour to anyone, you’ll be happy you booked it!
This was one of the best tours my family and I have ever taken, Murat picked us up from crown princess then he informed us about what we would do that day, we seen so much. We stopped at so many places where we had a good amount of time to explore and take lots of photos , Murat was a local who was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and was very patient as we toured . I could not recommend this tour enough to anyone looking to see The Giants Causeway and many other great sites . This experience was incredible because of the fact we were aloud to travel at our pace and without fuss. The sites were breathtakingly beautiful and our guide was thoughtful , informative and friendly . I highly recommend to take a tour with Murat.
I found this tour company with AI and applied for a private tour directly. On the way back from Giants Causeway, we also stopped by the Titanic Museum. I asked in advance that I couldn't speak English, and they had prepared tourist information in Japanese using a translation app even inside the car, and they also used a translation app to listen to my problems along the way. The tour was very satisfying due to the guide's attentive service.
