We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip out, was wonderful seeing all the different view points on the way up to the giants causeway, Be aware that bad weather, and mist will limit your coastal views, even though we had this, we still enjoyed our day visiting the various locations, which included a couple of Game of Thrones locations which we loved. One of the things which would make the trip better is wearing the correct footwear. Hiking boots with non slip grips are the safest bet when walking the causeway, rainy conditions make the stones very hazardous and we saw 2 really bad falls where people have slipped on the terrine, which caused major damage, just be careful if you decide to walk the causeway. Also it is worth taking the bus up and down to the causeway, which is a £1 each way. Take your national trust membership card with you if you have one as it costs £19 to get into the visitors centre where you can pick up an audio guide, or go on a guided tour which is included on entrance, we did the guided tour and it was worth it. You will gain entrance to the souvenir shop and also the cafe. This tour does not give you access to the visitor centre. The dark hedges were wonderful, but unfortunately some of the trees have come down in storms over the last couple of years. It is also about a 10-15 minute walk to get to the dark hedges from the car park. Our driver was great, very knowledgeable and also brilliant at maneuvering the sometimes narrow roads on the way up. Well worth a trip and we will be returning and hopefully the weather will give us a better view of the surroundings. Definately take a portable charger, as you will need to recharge your phone on the go if using for pictures and videos. The trip is a long day, but full of wonderful things.
Thoroughly enjoyed our guide Frank's insights into Northern Irish history and customs as well as his personal anecdotes related to Game of Thrones. I was on this tour with my best friend and three kids in tow, and the bus was comfortable, the scenery gorgeous, the guide knowledgeable and funny and the itinerary was interesting. Our kiddos are 16, 11, and 5, and enjoyed their time. The pacing can be quite hectic for families, there are a lot of stops and only 2 hours at the Giant's Causeway (which might be enough for some, but was definitely too short for our kids who wanted to move around and explore much longer). Regardless, the day was packed and fun for the whole family. Make sure to bring food if your dietary needs are not met by regular pub fare (even though we appreciated the Fullerton Arms stop and the menu included a vegetarian option) so that you don't have to spend the shorter stops searching for snacks.
The trip was worth every minute. Patrick was amazing and funny, keeping us updated and informed about our journey. Thank you
Best full day tour ! Our guide, Frank, was great, fun, funny, full of interesting stories and facts all along the way! He was one of our most favorite guides! The day was fantastic. Don’t miss the giants causeway- it’s a natural phenomenon!
Colin was a wonderful tour guide for our journey! Funny and informative!
Great day trip! More time at Cliffs of Moeher and less at photo stops. Do not need Irish Coffee stop at the end. Need to get back before 7 pm because no supper on the trip!
Great day on the Giants’s Causeway! The weather was perfect! Our guide, Patrick, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and provided us the opportunity to see a beautiful part of Ireland without driving! We were able to stop a number of times to get great pictures, walk about, and do some shopping. Out stop at the Causeway was spectacular! Beautiful views, and, if you are up to it, a great walk around! Highly recommend!
This was a great tour. Karl, our bus driver was great. He had a lot of local knowledge. You get to see a lot of places on the northern coast of Ireland. It's a long day but worth it!
This tour was well-organized and packed a lot into one day but we never felt rushed. The meeting point at the McCombs tour office was easy to find, and the check-in process was smooth even though this was a large group tour and they were checking in a lot of people at once. The pub for lunch was a good option. Most of the day was walking around at Giants Causeway and we had ample time to explore and take pictures. The stops at the Game of Thrones sites and castles were interesting as well. We appreciated the Bushmills whiskey distillery stop as well (this one could have been a tad longer). Our driver shard entertaining facts throughout the day.
Excellent commentary by the guide. Punctuality. Pleasant conversation
