The Antrim Coast Road is widely agreed to be one of the finest stretches of road anywhere in the world. The road hugs the coastline giving incredible seaside views, passing unspoiled beaches and sheltering under rugged cliffs. You may even see Scotland on a good day!

On the 27th of Mai about 20 people were waiting, but the bus didn’t come, and we didn’t receive a phone call about the delay either. When I called the office, they said there had been some kind of problem, but that the bus would be coming. Our bus arrived more than half an hour late. After that, the driver-tour guide performed his duties in an exemplary manner.
Highly recommended - this was a great day out and perfect itinerary to see Giant’s Causeway for far less than the excursion through the cruise line and with a much smaller group. We had a great time!
Hi Many thanks for taking the time to review your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with us. Thank you.
I booked this excursion through Viator, but unfortunately I never received any instructions from the tour operator. The only information available in the booking was a general guideline saying that cruise passengers arriving before 8:00 AM would depart at 8:30 AM. When we arrived at the port, there were several companies contracted by Viator, but none of them had my booking on their list. It was confusing and frustrating to be standing there with no clear direction and no representative who recognized our reservation. The only positive part of the experience was that one of the drivers/guides — who was not even assigned to us — was incredibly kind and allowed us to join his group so we wouldn’t be left behind. His kindness saved the day, but this should not have been necessary. Overall, the lack of communication and missing booking information made this a stressful experience. I hope Viator and the local operator improve their coordination and provide clear instructions to avoid this happening to other travelers.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you found the meeting process stressful. However, we would like to clarify that all meeting point details, departure instructions, and tour information are clearly displayed on the booking page before purchase and are also included in the booking confirmation sent after the reservation is made. On the date of your tour, all other passengers booked on the same excursion successfully located the meeting point and joined the tour without difficulty, and we are pleased to say they thoroughly enjoyed their experience. Thank you again for your feedback.

Our tour guide, Louie, was incredible, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re on a cruise. We were picked up from the port on time and dropped back off with plenty of time to spare. I can’t say enough good things about this tour!

Excellent trip, one of the best excursions I’ve ever taken. Troy went out of his way to show us everything possible in time allotted. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We had a beautiful tour of the coastline on the way back, far better than what’s offered as part of ship’s tour. Highly recommend.

Great tour of Northern Ireland with knowledgeable, savvy, and informative guide. One of our best experiences this trip!
Great day with pick up right near our cruise ship. Plenty of time at Giant's Causeway and enjoyable ride through the beautiful coast with ample stops for viewing & rest. Lovely lunch at Harry's. Short tour through Belfast. Our guide Lisa and driver Ciarin were very good. Would have liked a little more time to view Belfast but Lisa and Ciarin wanted to make sure we made it back to our ship. That was very reassuring.
