We booked the afternoon tour of the Giant Causeway because then we wouldn't feel rushed. We had a great time, our Driver Rory was very funny and he told us lots of interesting facts along the way, he actually made the trip! The causeway was beautiful and a must see
It was a wonderful experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to help us.
It was an extremely interesting history lesson from our driver Gary. He was very knowledgeable, charismatic and funny. He made sure we knew exactly what was going to happen and armed us with all the information we needed when we got to the causeway. I would highly recommend these tours. We wish we'd done a full day one
The causeway is just awe inspiring, we traveled with paddywagon tours, the driver was curious funny and knew his history well ,even though the weather was against us he made it absolutely worth the while
Use the restroom before you go either way. Seeing the Giant's Causeway was a once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide was funny and nice but needed to give more historical context and geographical information.
We were picked up from The Europa Hotel. The trip was around 1.5 hours. It was extremely funny and informative. Gary the driver is hilarious. Giants Causeway is really worth a visit. The walk down isn’t too strenuous, uphill left me out of puff. There is a bus both ways.
Unfortunately the tour operator is known to be notoriously unreliable amongst tourist professionals in Belfast. We have never been on the tour so cannot assess that part but have been informed via Whatsapp 1h before our departure that there was an "unexpected overbooking" on our tour. While we had booked the tour the same day, we had received a "Paid and confirmed" Email and Viator included bookable slots on its website, since otherwise we would have never booked the trip.
We had a wonderful experience with PaddyWagon on our tour from Belfast to the Giant’s Causeway. Our driver was outstanding; professional, organized, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the day. Despite heavy traffic due to festivities in the city, he made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Most importantly, he got us back to our cruise ship on time, completely stress-free. Thank you, PaddyWagon, for an excellent excursion and a memorable day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Northern Ireland!
