We travel along the Causeway Coastal route between Ballycastle and Dunluce to experience one of the most dramatic drives in the world, now rated as one of the world’s top 5 great road journeys.
A Beautiful scenic beach at the very tip of Ireland and the closest country from here would be Iceland which is 800 miles away.
Commonly called ‘the 8th wonder of the world, is the only World Heritage site in Ireland. During our stop here you can spend time climbing over the ancient stones, snapping photos, and reflecting on the myths and legends of this unique area.

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. It was intended to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to their home, Gracehill House. Two centuries later, the trees remain a magnificent sight and have become known as the Dark Hedges.
We had an amazing day visiting the giant’s causeway with our tour guides. Our family went in two different vans and our tour Murat was by far the most kind, hip and energetic guide we had thus far on many of our excursions throughout the British Isles. We were well taken care of and were given exclusive access.
We arranged to be picked up at the cruise terminal and our guide (John Paul) was waiting for us as promised. Our tour was very interesting and John Paul was very knowledgeable, and was willing to customize our tour in real time. The vehicle was very nice and John Paul was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour company, and in particular, John Paul!
Amazing!! Murat was the one of the best tour guides we have had. My husband and I have traveled a lot and always use private guides and the Private Shore Excursion from Belfast with Belfast Tours NI delivered! Murat was great to work with, from the booking the tour to out the details for some special stops, to continued communication until he picked us at the cruise port. We saw some amazing sites, ate some wonderful local food and created some lasting memories. I would recommend using Belfast Tours NI an of your tour needs across Northern Ireland, he is knowledgeable, patient, and a joy to spend the day with - he will make sure you see what YOU want to see and leave with unforgettable memories (and will make sure to take you to places to find local souvenirs /art/etc.). Thank you Murat for a wonderful day- one we will remember for a lifetime.
We had an amazing day traveling through Northern Ireland! Our guide, Nigel, was so knowledgeable and friendly! He made us feel very welcome in his country! Thank you Nigel for your fabulous hospitality! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Belfast!
John was a wonderful guide. We learned so much about the area and saw many beautiful sites. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Murat was an amazing guide and really knew what we should not miss for our trip! We would highly recommend this company to others! He was a safe driver, was very knowledgeable of the area and was friendly and accommodating to all of us. Thank you for a wonderful tour!
John was a great guide. He gave us enough general information to be helpful and then responded to our questions in more depth. He customized the tour to our interests and the needs of my disabled husband. We especially enjoyed Giant's Causeway.
Murat was our wonderful guide. He met us off our cruise ship and manged to cram a load in a small amount of time. First stop Dark hedges then the Bushmills distillery. From the distillery we went onto the Giant Causeway where Murat wheeled my husband to the shuttle bus made sure we were both on, when we arrived back up he appeared with an umbrella for my husband to hold as it was pouring, we then went and had a tea and coffee in the hotel. We had an awesome time at the giants Causeway, what an amazing place. From there we went to Dunluce Castle, Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge and to the Titanic museum. Every time we stopped Murat helped my husband out of the car and into his wheelchair. He even pushed him around for me. We had a fantastic afternoon. Thank you Murat for making us feel special and looking after us so well. You were very knowledgeable about the area.
Our experience with our tour was the equivalent of flying first class. The entire day was first rate and our guide and driver Francis was warm, knowledgeable, and hospitable. Of all the tours we’ve done, this one by far was the most memorable! The cruise directed excursions were all very sanitized. This tour exceeded them all with personalization and amazing Irish hospitality. Thanks to Nicole who seamlessly coordinated the tour and Francis our guide for a wonderful day.
Lovely tour guides. Enjoyed our stops and enjoyed their entertaining and informative stories and tips during the drive. Very pleasant.
We had an excellent tour with Murat, and could not have been happier with the experience. He communicated very well with us ahead of the tour, and was excellent to deal with. Murat was very friendly and had great knowledge of the area, and kept us educated and entertained all day. His van is in great shape and impeccably clean, and he was an excellent driver. This is a must-do tour if you are in the Belfast area. The Giants Causeway is one of the most spectacular areas in the world, and we loved our time there. We also loved all the other stops, with the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge being another amazing highlight. Book this tour. You don't be disappointed.
We had limited time in Belfast so chose a 3 hour city tour and were lucky to have Micky Lyon as our private driver/guide. Micky took us to key areas in the city firstly showing us the renewed Titanic Qtr before moving on to City Hall, University, Cathedral Qtr aswell as Clonard Monastery, Falls Rd, Shankill Rd, Bobby Sands and other murals, the Peace Wall & Crumlin Rd Jail finally dropping us off at St George's Market. Micky gave us insight into the history of Northern Ireland and the more recent Troubles. Excellent tour & excellent guding. Plus we managea pint in The Crown later too - highly recommend.
We had an amazing excursion provided by Belfast Tours NI. As a travel professional, I diligently research vendors and this one did not disappoint. Murat and Nicole provided excellent pre-trip communication and even changed our reservation at the last minute to accommodate our smaller group. Day of we were met by Michael and J.P. who were amazing guides and kept our group entertained. We loved exploring the northern coast of Ireland and enjoyed the history of Belfast they provided as well. The vehicles were clean and comfortable and the extra touches of bottled water and a bag of crisps, was a nice touch! I won't hesitate to recommend Belfast Tours NI to other clients or travel advisors.
We booked this private excursion because we were traveling with my 86 year old, who unexpectantly needed to use a wheelchair. Michael our guide/driver met just outside the cruise ship and we boarded a large Mercedes van with plenty of room for all 4 of us plus wheelchair. Mike told us stories and history using props in his vehicle. Mike went out of his way to make sure that my dad was comfortable and safe during our journey. We went to the Dark Hedges, Up to the cliffs, and of course Giants Causeway. the drive was long, but the views were beautiful and Mike filled us in with some wonderful stories. Highly recommend Mike and this tour!! Well worth the investment!! It was the best tour of our trip!!
This excursion was very good. We get to see several sights on our private van and our driver, Ossie was very good! Ossie provided us informed about the sights and he stop in areas that gave us great views!! He even took us to the Titanic museum which was an extra trip!
Michael was our guide and we had the best day in Belfast. We were on a cruise and didn’t care for any of the excursions offered. We only had six hours, but Michael made sure we saw the “must haves” and made it back to our ship with plenty of time. We traveled as a family with the youngest being 7 and the oldest being 71 - everyone agreed it was the best part of our trip. The van was comfortable for everyone and the snacks/waters were a nice touch. Michael was charming and informative and patiently answered all of our questions. My only regret was that we couldn’t do the full day tour. If you’re on the fence about hiring this company - do it. I promise you will have a great day!
Giants Causeway is a must see. Our driver took us past amazing scenery and even to some Geo Cache finds. We had a great time.
Our guide, Francis, was great. We had the best time visiting Northern Ireland and hope to return in the future.
Our driver was amazing! He showed us the sites with a personal touch and a sense of humor. The coast line of Northern Ireland is simply stunning. I have been on this route numerous times, but, by far, today was my favorite experience. A definite must if you are in the area this is the way to go!
We enjoyed a fantastic day touring around the north of Ireland. Belfast Tours NI were extremely professional, and considerate, and also shared lots of information about life in the north. They went out of their way to make certain we could have all the special photo ops we wanted. Navigating the curvy narrow roads in a large luxury vehicle would have been challenging for us and we would have missed so much of the beautiful scenery. Leaving the driving to Murat and Tom allowed us to relax and soak in all the lush beauty of the countryside and sea. We highly recommend their service.
Our group of 8 had a fabulous customized excursion with Belfast tours. Michael was an excellent tour guide, picking us up at the ship early and dropping us off safely after a wonderful day. He shared a wealth of information, history and Irish humor at every stop. We saw everything on our wish list and much more. One of the best trips we have ever had. Highly recommend this company.
This excursion was the best excursion we have ever done anywhere. Murat picked us up at the ship early in the morning and took us to all the attractions we wanted to see as well as other places that we would have never known about otherwise. He talked to us about what kinds of things we wanted to see and then tailored the day to fit our preferences. He also took us to a little restaurant for the best fish and chips we had anywhere. One of the best things was that we were able to spend as much or as little time as we wanted and weren't held to a shore excursion schedule. We also chose to just take the excursion with my husband and I so we truly had a tour based on what we wanted to do. Murat and his tour company were the absolute best find (recommended by friends who had used him as well) and we have already recommended him to others who are looking for a one of a kind experience in Northern Ireland.
We spent almost 2 weeks in Ireland and this was by far our favorite day!! Michael was our tour guide and he was great!!!! We loved everything we saw and had a great time! We appreciate the history and information Michael was able to give us as well. You will not be disapointed with this trip!!!
We had a great trip with Belfast tours. Murat was an excellent driver and tour guide. He customized our trip based on the interests of the group. We saw all of the major highlights and still had time to stop at a local pub for a few pints. I would definitely recommend using Murat and Belfast tours.
We had a wonderful day with Murat as our guide and driver. He was incredibly accommodating and happy to do whatever we wanted. The vehicle was spotless and well stocked with cold drinks for us all. He was punctual and knowledgeable about Belfast and Northern Ireland in general. He went over and above to please. We would absolutely recommend him and his company to anyone. We hope to use him on our golf trip to Ireland next year. A fabulous day.
The tour was arranged exactly how I like it and our driver Murat was really knowledgeable and will do anything for you. We got to see everything we wanted to, and with the enjoy time at the each stop. Overall it was excellent day trip and I recommend it to anyone looking to have a best tour in belfast. Thanks you Belfast tour NI for this great Tour.
We are French from the Marseille Region. We had booked a private tour for a Riad trip on the coasts around Belfast. Our English was very limited. We found in our guide Murat a caring accompanist, really attentive to show us the most remarkable sites in just 6 hours and make us enjoy a fish and chips like we never tasted before. Very good driver on narrow roads and not counting on his time to allow us to leave with wonderful photos and an encounter with an exceptional person by his kindness and availability. Murat is definitely the person not to be missed for a stopover in Belfast or even further afield as it can organise road trips all over Ireland. This is part of a future project.
