This tour was amazing And Martin couldn’t have been a better guy if we begged for one. It was very obvious Martin had built a network. Out there to help his tours, go smoothly and get them what they want. Martin is very personable and friendly. Martin also helped adjust the tour based on my wife’s and son’s interest. I can’t recommend him enough. I will definitely look forward taking another tour with him.

Itinerary
After pickup from your Belfast hotel, cruise terminal, airport, or another agreed location, begin your private journey along the Causeway Coastal Route in Mercedes comfort. Travel through the scenic Glens of Antrim in the comfort of your private Mercedes as your driver-guide introduces the landscapes, history, and communities of the region. Enjoy the changing countryside along the route, with brief photo stops where safe and practical.
Pause at Carnlough Harbour, a peaceful coastal village along the Antrim Coast. Enjoy time for a short walk, take in the harbour views, and capture the atmosphere before continuing along the Causeway Coastal Route. Featured in Game of Thrones as Braavos, this sleepy harbour offers a glimpse into the world of the hit HBO series.
Visit the Carrick-a-Rede area and enjoy views across the surrounding coastline. Your driver-guide will allow time to explore the area at a comfortable pace. Travelers who wish to cross the rope bridge will need to purchase a separate ticket. Access is subject to availability, opening conditions, and attraction rules.
Enjoy a short stop at Ballintoy Harbour, known for its rugged coastal setting and distinctive scenery. Your driver-guide can share local stories and explain the harbour’s connection with film and television productions. One of the biggest Game of Thrones filming locations, as well as being a hidden gem of a place, idyllic, hidden away from the world, like a lost time capsule, just relax and enjoy the serenity of the area. Note: Not accessible by buses & coaches.
Enjoy approximately 90 minutes to explore Giant’s Causeway at your own pace. Walk among the famous coastal rock formations, admire the Atlantic views, and take time to experience the landscape without following a large group. Paid visitor-centre services or shuttle bus may require a separate payment. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site with ample time for discovery. Continue to the Giant's Causeway to enjoy exploring the 50,000 interlocking hexagonal stone columns on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The Causeway consists of 50,000 hexagonal basalt columns formed during a volcanic eruption 60 million years ago.
Pause for views of Dunluce Castle and its dramatic position above the coast. Enjoy time for photographs while your driver-guide shares the history of this well-known Northern Ireland landmark. The scheduled stop does not include an interior visit. Any entrance fee is payable separately.
Take a relaxed walk beneath the Dark Hedges, one of Northern Ireland’s most recognizable filming locations. Your driver-guide will share the story of the avenue and its appearance in Game of Thrones. The stunning natural beauty of 250yo Beech Trees are immortalised in the tv series Game of Thrones.
See selected Belfast murals from the comfort of your private vehicle during the return journey. Your driver-guide can provide brief historical and local context as you pass through the area. This is a pass-by experience rather than a dedicated mural tour or extended stop.
Pass sections of Belfast associated with the Peace Wall while your driver-guide provides relevant historical context. A dedicated Peace Wall walking tour or extended visit is not included. The Belfast Peace Walls are a series of barriers that separate predominantly Catholic/Nationalist and Protestant/Unionist neighbourhoods in Belfast, Northern Ireland, built during the Troubles to prevent violence between the communities. While the Good Friday Agreement formally ended the Troubles in 1998, the walls remain, with some communities still viewing them as necessary for safety, though they also serve as a reminder of the ongoing sectarian divide. The first "peace lines" were temporary barriers erected by the British army in 1969 at the height of the Troubles to separate communities during clashes.
Travel through or past Belfast’s Titanic Quarter before completing the journey. Your driver-guide can point out key landmarks along the way. Admission to Titanic Belfast and other attractions within the area is not included.

This tour was amazing. And Martin couldn’t have been a better guide if we had begged for one. Martin was very informative, and it was very obvious. He had built a network out out there to help his tours, go smoothly and get them what they want. Martin was very personable and friendly. Martin also helped adjust the tour based on my wife’s and son’s interests. I can’t recommend him enough. I will definitely look forward to taking a tour with him again.
Exactly what we were looking for……a clean, spacious, luxurious vehicle with a professional, knowledgeable driver who customized our tour at our own pace. Never felt rushed. Would highly recommend.
We hired Martin for a full day customized touring of the coastline of Northern Ireland. We experienced a jamb packed day without feeling rushed and saw many beautiful sites. Exactly what we were looking for. Martin is not only very knowledgeable, but very professional and his vehicle is clean, comfortable and luxurious. Would definitely use Five Star Luxury Tours again.
Martin gave us the most amazing experience on our Belfast to Giants Causeway Tour and more! He was professional, fun, informative, and funny! We are a family of 6 ages 20-58 and we had such a great time! I would highly recommend Martin for your private tour in Ireland!
We spent the day with Martin on July, 29th. He picked up our family of 3 from our Belfast hotel in a luxury van. The warm, reclining massage seats were a bonus! The snack basket was a treat as we traveled across the North of Ireland. Martin gave personal knowledge of his homeland..more than we could read in a travel guide. He made us laugh the whole day. He was so flexible with the route. He didn’t stop at places we weren’t really interested in, but added venues that appealed to each of us like Royal Portrush. He knew the back roads to avoid crowds and get the best pictures. After visiting at least 6 locations and a wonderful lunch, he transported us to our next hotel on the Eastern Coast. What an amazing experience. We highly recommend. It was Five Star!
Driver was a true gentleman and very helpful when my wife hurt her angle.
Martin was great! Very knowledgeable. It was a fun experience for the whole family.
We had a gorgeous day in and around Belfast with our guide Jordan. He went above and beyond when someone in our group was injured. He explained the history of Belfast and made our day enjoyable. The bonus…he took group pictures of us at all of the iconic places. 😊
We booked the private luxury Giant's Causeway tour from Belfast for our family of six, and Jordan made the day exceptional. What really set the tour apart was how flexible and personalized Jordan made everything, instead of rushing through a fixed script, he tailored the pace and stops around what our group actually wanted to see and do. The highlight for all of us was Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Jordan gave us plenty of time there and made sure everyone felt comfortable crossing at their own pace, with great photo spots pointed out along the way. The rest of the day was just as good: the Giant's Causeway itself, Dunluce Castle, and a stop at the Dark Hedges rounded out a really full and memorable day along the Antrim Coast. The vehicle was comfortable for six adults, and Jordan's local knowledge and easygoing personality made the long day never feel like a slog. If you're looking for a private tour that actually adapts to your group rather than following a rigid itinerary, ask for Jordan — we couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Martin did a great job in leading our private tour. He was professional, knowledgeable and very entertaining. I would HIGHLY recommend Martin for any tour. His kind disposition and fun jokes keeps you smiling.
Not the first time we have used this company. we were back with friends and after finding Five Star Luxury Tours on ChatGPT we were confident it was the best company in Belfast. Reasonably priced. We never felt rushed during or 8 hour tour. The driver/guide was amazing and certainly help with the atmosphere. There we 6 of us and I would say the was the best tour we experienced during our visit to the North of Ireland.
Michael, our driver was charming, informative and an excellent driver. He went out of his way to find an obscure family house sight. All five members of our family were well taken care of. We had plenty of time to explore the Cliffs of Moher. It was a long day. We took many stops and saw much of the beauty of Ireland.
Marty was a wonderful guide and very accommodating of our requests to swim, do a whiskey tasting etc! We never felt rushed and his van is very luxurious. Highly recommend!
We booked a day trip with Martin and Five Star Luxury Tours from Belfast up and around the Antrim Coast, making multiple stops along the way. We were a group of 6 nd the can was very confidant. Martin made the trip very enjoyable and his knowledge about the area showed. I was able to create our own itinerary and was able to use insight from Martin to build our trip. I would definitely recommend!
Five Star Treatment from start to finish. Not the first time we have used this company and certainly won't be the last. Highly recommend 👌
Five Star Treatment from start to finish. Luxury vehicle and our driver Michael was first class. Don't miss out.
I would highly recommend this excursion! The private experience is worth every penny! It was my family’s favorite day on our trip around Ireland! We learned so much from our tour guide, Marty, and he made it so special and individualized based on our needs! He was so accommodating, informative, and took us to the perfect spots to make a lifetime of memories for our family! I can’t thank him enough!
What a wonderful day! Travelling into Belfast port for the day today, Martin collected us right on the dock for a full day of Belfast. Out to the countryside for Dunluce Castle, a brilliant stop, which was also used for filming Game of Thrones scenes. Truly spectacular. Onwards to the Giant Causeway with a beautiful story of how these magnificent vertical rock formations formed - Geographics or Giant fables? Morning tea at the beautiful Causeway Hotel with fresh scones and good coffee. A visit to Ballintoy Harbour, also used for more Game of Throne scenes. Rope Bridge at Portaneevey, Peace Walls and Titanic Memorial Museum rounded out a complete day. However, Martin was our surprise bonus, a passionate driver, tour guide, historian, and comedian. Dad jokes, fun and care. Martin's transport iis new, clean, big and comfortable for 6 Adultsz also loaded with water, snacks, tissues. Professional but warm we enjoyed the best day with you Martin! Thankyou. The Aussie's 🇦🇺
The absolute best private tour ever! Martin was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and threw in some Irish jokes. His van was so comfortable, that it made it more relaxing to really see all the beautiful views of Northern Ireland. He was caring, kind and tailored the tour to your liking. We feel Blessed to have had such a wonderful tour guide! Loved Northern Ireland so much and want to move there!
After much consideration, we chose Martin Walker, owner of Five Star Luxury Tours & Transfers of Belfast for our full day tour of the Giant Causeway and coastline sights. We were so lucky to have Martin as our guide! Though we had created a custom tour of the entire area, Martin was really knowledgeable about the area's history, the best views and a couple of places we didn't know about to see! It was great. There were four of us, and we were very comfortable in his Benz Touring Van, outfitted with all the comforts – great seats with plenty of room, wide window views, AC, music and amenities needed for the day's trip – including a yummy basket of snacks! We all recommend Martin highly. He was polite, polished, and funny – and his vehicle was clean and roomy. You will be very happy choosing Five Star Luxury Tours & Transfers of Belfast.

We were on a cruise recently and had the pleasure of taking a tour in Belfast, Ireland with Five Star Luxury Tours. Martin picked us up at the port in his very nice Mercedes van and he also provided water and snacks for us, which we appreciated. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, providing interesting commentary and answering all our questions. The tour included visits to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Giant's Causeway, and the Dark Hedges, just to name a few. The tour also took us along the Antrim Coast. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed or day and would highly recommend Martin to anyone visiting Ireland or Belfast!
Our family had a great tour with Dessie as our driver. He shared a lot of interesting information, and it is hard to believe the number of different sites we managed to see in one day. The car was very clean, and Dessie was so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour!
Excellent experience. Very professional, on time and extremely comfortable journey . Highly recommend their service for anyone needing luxury transport.
Excellent all round service, very professional and reliable. Picked up on time and taxi bus was spotless and of a high standard
When I initially saw all the 5 star ratings for this tour I wondered if it was too good to be true. Without question, this tour is a 5 star plus experience. Our group had an awesome day with Marty! Communication with Marty prior to the tour through Viator or WhatsApp was perfect. We arranged to meet Marty at our hotel at 9:30 AM. Marty arrived at 9:15 AM!! His Mercedes Van was spotless inside and out. The leather seats were very comfortable too!! And the van is equipped with air conditioning, which we needed as we enjoyed nice weather. Marty also had water and light snacks for our tour — a nice touch. We made all stops as noted and when he learned I was golfer we made an extra stop at Royal Portrush golf club, the 2025 home of the Open Championship!!! Our group had an awesome time and we would not hesitate to recommend Marty!!

An unforgettable experience from start to finish! Our driver, Martin, was exceptionally knowledgeable, warm, and accommodating—nothing was too much trouble. The trip from Belfast to the North Coast was seamless, and we got some fascinating facts along the way. Highly recommended!
Great trip , great company and brilliant driver. The professionalism was second to none. Would highly recommend this company. First class
Such an amazing tour. A must for anyone visiting Ireland. We got to see so much of the North Coast and even had time for a quick tour around Belfast before retuning to the ship. Definitely 5 Stars
Review for Five Star Luxury Tours and Transfers We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Five Star Luxury Tours and Transfers on our tour of Ireland’s breathtaking North Coast. From start to finish, the service was impeccable—truly living up to the "five-star" name! Our driver and guide was not only professional and knowledgeable but also warm, engaging, and full of fascinating insights about the region’s history, culture, and hidden gems. The luxury vehicle was spotless, comfortable, and perfect for taking in the stunning coastal scenery. The itinerary was perfectly curated, with stops at iconic landmarks like the Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, and the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, as well as a few off-the-beaten-path surprises that made the experience even more special. We never felt rushed, and there was plenty of time to soak in the views, take photos, and enjoy the local atmosphere. If you're looking for a premium, stress-free way to explore Ireland’s North Coast, I highly recommend Five Star Luxury Tours and Transfers. They deliver an unforgettable experience with top-tier service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding Private Luxury Transportation Highly Recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our experience with this luxury transportation service was fantastic from start to finish. Booking was easy, and the driver was punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, stocked with refreshments that made the ride enjoyable. The journey was smooth, with our driver navigating efficiently and ensuring our safety. This service truly made our trip stress-free and enjoyable. I would definitely book with them again for a premium travel experience!
Martin was a fantastic guide and we appreciate his flexibility in showing us some additional golf sites for my dad. The views driving along the coast were spectacular and it was great to be able to get out and enjoy some of the villages along the way. Giants Causeway was beautiful and worth the visit! Lots of walking trails and coach options for those with mobility issues to get to see all of the sites. A don’t miss trip for anyone visiting Belfast.
We had Martin. We went everywhere we wanted to see. Martin was so knowledgeable with the history, etc. He made our trip so rememberable. Highly recommend him.
Would recommend this excursion to EVERYONE and request Martin or Dessie! They were amazing. They had lots of knowledge, were friendly and got us back in plenty of time (even returned in time to give us our phone).
We used Martin Walker from Five Star Luxury Transfers. His service was exceptional. He tailored our itinerary to our interests. Martin was also extremely knowledgeable of all the sites we visited. We highly recommend Five Star Luxury Transfers.
The service was excellent. Marty provided that classic ceid mile failte welcome that you just get anywhere other than Ireland. The service was top class. It worked out cheaper than renting a car and let me take a few pints in some nice spots along the way. An mhaith!
We had a fantastic time exploring Northern Ireland with 5 Star Luxury Transfers! The tour was amazing and the guide was so friendly. The sights were beautiful and we learned a lot about the area. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the North Coast!
A birthday weekend and a tour with fabulous company. Martin, as we later found out, was the owner and the driver. And he was exceptional. He knew everything there was to know about the area, and great craic and flexible too. The luxury of the transport only added to the fact that we could sit back and relax enjoy the view, if we fancied stopping for a pit stop there were no time restraints, we came and went as we pleased, it was honestly like it was one of our best friend's at the wheel, so laid back and happy to accommodate. A real treat and will definitely book again. Thanks again Martin
A great experience with a very helpful, friendly and accommodating driver! The luxury of being in a comfortable private vehicle is unmatched for an excursion like this one. Such a great way to see around the beautiful landmarks and the scenic coast line. Would highly recommend this trip and can’t wait to use Five Star Luxury Transfers again for any transport needs!
Absolutely fantastic! Our tour around the Giant's Causeway was nothing short of phenomenal. From the knowledgeable guide to the comfortable car, every aspect of our experience was top-notch.
Martin took myself and a few friends to the Giants Causeway and Carrick-a-rede rope bridge for a day trip. Although weather wise it was a dull wet day, the luxury of the van and the fact Martin was so friendly and welcoming made our trip unforgettable. Martin tailored the trip to exactly what we wanted to do, and was very accommodating of all our requests. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit the North Coast in luxury!
Embarked on an unforgettable sightseeing adventure with an emphasis on hygiene and private transport. Impeccably clean vehicles heightened the experience, ensuring a safe and enjoyable exploration. Private transport added convenience, allowing us to navigate effortlessly between destinations, maximizing our time. The commitment to cleanliness and the comfort of private travel enhanced the overall quality of the trip especially with cold and flu season in full swing, making it a remarkable and stress-free experience. Highly recommend for those seeking a premium sightseeing adventure.
Myself and my wife booked Martin for a private tour around the North Coast. I had some general knowledge of the area but that was totally surpassed by the information and local history we were given by our driver. A highly enjoyable, relaxing trip at an affordable price. Will definitely be booking Martin next time we're in the area.
The beauty of the North Coast is just breathtaking. Getting to enjoy the private tour in style, comfort and luxury...even better! Cannot recommend this experience enough. We were taken care of from the minute we were collected. Martin was very knowledgeable about the local area and we were able to stay away from the busy spots, but still capture all of the beauty encased in the North of Ireland. Stop where you want, eat what you want, travel with who you choose... and no, before you ask, I am not on commission! Its the people who make the experience in my opinion...and this tour guide will elevate your day.
Martin collected my 4 American cousins and I in Belfast in a gleaming Mercedes and transported us up the stunning County Antrim coast road to the Giants Causeway. It was such a comfortable journey with plenty of leg space unlike a car or bus. Martin was full of chat and knowledge about the local landmarks and the time just flew in. We experienced the magic of the Giants Causeway and the Carrick a Rede Rope Bridge and in our own time made the delightful journey back to Belfast. I highly recommend 'Five Star Luxury Transfers' for a relaxing and comfortable journey with a bit of Irish craic thrown in to add to the experience..
I booked this for a group of friends visiting from London during the NY period. Martin was extremely patient and accommodating when we experienced flight delays, and provided a knowledgeable and interesting tour of the North Coast. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone had a great time! Would definitely recommend again.
We took a trip to the North Coast with friends last week. Superb service provided by Martin who knew the best (and most reasonable) places for lunch and drinks. The vehicle was so comfortable the journey flew past. Highly recommended 👌
First class service. Great Tour and have to say our Driver Martin was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Would recommend anyone who wants the luxury of a private tour at a great price
Would highly recommend this to any couple or family looking to explore the north coast. Service was brilliant and made our trip so easy and effortless. Thank for the amazing experience Martin!
