Itinéraire
Perché de façon spectaculaire sur un éperon de basalte le long de la côte nord d'Antrim, le château de Dunluce était autrefois le siège du clan MacDonnell et constitue une forteresse côtière remarquable depuis le XIIIe siècle. Avec une riche histoire façonnée par les influences vikings, médiévales et plus tard, le château reste l'un des monuments les plus emblématiques de la côte d'Antrim. Son cadre accidenté surplombant l'Atlantique Nord l'a rendu célèbre non seulement dans l'histoire irlandaise, mais aussi dans la culture populaire, avec Game of Thrones en Pyke et C.S. Lewis dans Les Chroniques de Narnia. Veuillez noter : il s'agit d'un arrêt photo uniquement. Il n'y a pas d'entrée au château inclus, mais il y aura le temps de prendre des photos et de profiter de la vue.
Passez 2 heures à la chaussée des géants, la chaussée. Ce site du patrimoine mondial à ne pas manquer est l'attraction touristique la plus populaire d'Irlande du Nord, et pour cause. Paysage marin magnifique et bien sûr les impressionnantes colonnes de pierre hexagonales / polygonales qui forment le légendaire Causeway lui-même, dont certaines atteignent 12 mètres de hauteur. La chaussée des géants a été déclarée site du patrimoine mondial en 1986.
The Dark Hedges, près de Bregagh Road, Ballymoney en Irlande du Nord Les Dark Hedges ont été plantés il y a 270 ans par la famille Stuart comme allée menant à leur manoir Gracehill Manor. C'est maintenant le phénomène naturel le plus photographié d'Irlande du Nord. Nous allons passer environ 20 minutes ici pour quelques photos.
Le Titanic Distillers Tour est une expérience entièrement guidée de la distillerie et de la station de pompage historique. Explorez les images et les sons du Pumphouse, suivi d'une expérience sensorielle et d'une dégustation des spiritueux irlandais primés.

The tour was fun and interesting. Quiggs and Noshad were great hosts, kept us entertained and interested. The views were amazing, the stops with plenty of time. Would definitely recommend!
Tour guide was awesome.. Extremely knowledgeable about region and detailed historical events. Very helpful getting back to ground transportation to our ship the Regal Princess...
The pick up point was quite confusing as it said to meet outside Topshop but Topshop is gone. The meeting place is a city bus stop and no one from the tour company is there until the bus pulls up right at the meeting time. The tour stops are nice and Quig was very knowledgeable about the history. I wish we had been told that there was a bus to take you down to the causeway as it is a very steep walk. I’m not sure how much it costs because we didn’t realize it was an option until it was too late. Also, be prepared if you get motion sick. Because the trip starts in Dublin and then picks up in Belfast, most of the seats were full and we ended up in the rear of the bus. There are many winding roads so I was miserable for most of the tour. Not the fault of the tour, but I really wish I had taken some anti nausea medicine. The tour drives you through much of the beautiful countryside. It is a lot of riding and a lot of walking. Bring a lunch. The stops are quick and you won’t have time to order in a restaurant. We enjoyed the distillery tour and tasting.
this tour was okay, however a some of the stops were just to see a sight from a far distance and i have no idea why anyone would want that - i would prefer fewer sights but more time/closer view to interact and really BE there. Also the tour guide had some good insights and stories, but talked most of the time hindering the ability to talk to my seat mate. Also, nearer the end he mainly talked about his political and environmental views which seemed a bit soap boxy to me. Otherwise it was a fairly good trip and the giants causeway was nice, and the titanic museum was very interesting!
Your guide (Quiggst) was very knowledgable and personable. Great to see Giants Causeway, a beautiful place! We booked this tour because it advertised Bushmills Distillery (which it still does), but they had no intention on taking us there. They did not notify us of the change, was as we passed through Bushmills town did we realize we were not stopping. They brought instead to a brand new whiskey distillery in downtown Belfast ( which is great but we had already been there). Also, the whole tour felt rushed as we were picked up on Belfast but the tour started in Dublin so they had to rush through every stop. We only had and hour and a half at the Giants Causeway. Also bring a lunch as they do not stop or give you time for it. Your tour ticket does NOT include admission to the visitor center at the Causeway where lunch options are available to purchase. There are better options to see the North Coast for this price.
You were emailed 9 times in the last 5months to ask if you can switch as the tour with the Bushmils stop was discontinued, We tried to call,(wrong number) whatsup(not getting delivered) and email not getting answered And OH MY WORD it turns out you do know how to use the internet? You must be a fast learner!!!!
The tour guide was very informative and had some great stories on the travel to each location. They were also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the location and we were given plenty of time to look around. Would highly recommend for whiskey lovers and scenic explorers
We had an excellent time with Finn McCool tours! My parents actually cannot stop talking about it. They had no idea what to expect of the Giant's causeway, and were completely blown away. We also received a message the day before that the company was no longer working with Bushmill's; instead, they would take us to Titanic Distilleries. At first, this was a disappointment, but then we were blown away at Titanic Distilleries -- between the setting, the tour guide (Dominique), and, of course, the whisky. All four of us absolutely recommend doing this tour -- thank you Noel, Vedrun, Patrick, and Dominique for an excellent day out.
Guide Mark was very interesting. We bought a "Giants' Causeway + Bushmills Distillery" tour from Belfast, scheduled for April 9. 2 days before, the visit to Bushmills is cancelled (for a reason related to Covid...), I am offered a tour of Belfast instead, which I accept. Except this Belfast tour never happened. I got off the bus at 3.30pm on my way back to Belfast. Several letters, no reply... And I see this tour with Bushmills tour is still on sale. That's not right. I'm still waiting for an answer from Finn Tours
Hi Unfortunatly Bushmills distillery is still blaming Covid from time to time for not having enough trained guides. Mostly not a problem but when it happens out of our control, why we offered a differnt tour or refund 2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE Belfast city on the alternative tour is self explore, just like the description says
Kate and Matka were great had a good time even though the bushmills part of tour was canceled they made the day awsome
We had a fantastic day out. Kate was fantastic, she explained the history of the North and South relationship while also giving us info about the myths and the Finn McCool giant. Looking forward to doing the Cliffs tour next - highly recommend Finn McCool tours!
