In this day tour of Belfast and the Giant's Causeway, you will admire the splendid landscape of County Antrim, including the famous Dark Hedges, made familiar by the fantasy drama 'Game of Thrones' and spectacular Dunluce Castle ruins - also famously known as House of Greyjoy! 60 minute visit to Dunluce Castle including paid admission! Discover and explore the Giant's Causeway's hexagonal columns, built by the Irish giant Fionn and his Scottish rival Angus.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 11.
We depart from Belfast City Center, from the bus shelter in front of the famous Europa Hotel, on Great Victoria street at 9.45 am. Begin the journey in the company of your 100% Irish guide and your fellow travel partners for today, we'll get to know each other and have our charming guide set the scene as we take the drive through the rolling farmland of county Antrim to the North Coast of Ireland - an area of outstanding natural beauty.
We visit the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges. The trees were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress their guests upon arrival to their house. Most of you will recognize the Dark Hedges as King's Road from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It is a wonderful photo-stop and an opportunity to be a part of a real life set!
We make our way to the Causeway Coast where we can see fine views of Rathlin Island, and on a clear day we may even see the Scottish coast 13 miles away. The views along this coastline are spectacular, no wonder it is one of the most visited destinations in Europe!
The Giant's Causeway is the highlight of this trip for most! Built by the Irish giant Fionn and his Scottish rival Angus, it is a real masterpiece formed of perfectly shaped hexagonal columns. Your tour guide shall tell you more about the Causeway, and the legends of the area. The entrance fee for the visitor centre is not included as the UNESCO World Heritage Site is actually completely free of charge to the public. Based on years of guest feedback our guests prefer to have the best possible value price for the overall tour and then can make individual decisions locally as to whether they wish to access the adjacent visitor centre for a fee at the door.
We arrive at one of the most dramatic castle ruins in the world for a 1 hour stop, prepare to be amazed at the way this old castle hangs over the edge of the cliffs. Part of the Dunluce Castle fell into the sea in the 1600's, and some servants died in the tragedy. Since that time, it is believed to be haunted by the unfortunate servants. Take some impressive photos before we leave the coast and make our way to Belfast.
Arrive back in Belfast safe and well around 05:00pm in downtown Belfast, your thirst for knowledge quenched and of course you can now say to all your friends that the top attractions in Northern Ireland are now crossed off your list!

Excellent trip. Would def recommend. Shane our tour guide was brilliant. He was so engaging, friendly and informative. Really interested in his job like he was happy to be there. Bus picked us up on time. Excellent tour. Enough toilet stops! Will def book this company again for other trips.
It was worth the bus trip! Plus, the best grilled ham & cheese of my life (that I will try and fail to recreate).
The sights were pretty but the driver/tour guide was somewhat crass in what he said and drove recklessly apparently for a laugh (e.g. slammed on the brakes for no reason, purposely drove directly at a car pulled over to the side of the road, and repeatedly honked the horn for the express purpose of scaring grazing sheep). My wife and I did not find any of this particularly funny. That aside, he did not do a good job of letting us know what/when we would be seeing the sights.
Turned up early for the tour. The bus was ‘late’. All the people waiting were ringing the operator. Different excuses every time . Eventually, an hour later they cancelled the tour. Which meant it was impossible to rearrange. And we lost an hour to start looking at other options. All they were interested in was refunding. Do not use them. We ended up going by public transport to giants causeway. But a couple of hours later than we could have done.
Fantastic experience, worth the price. Gerry the guide was wonderful. Each stop was timed with a place where to meet. Gerrys talk was informative with humour where needed. He helped with what parts of the tour where disability friendly. 100% Reccomend any of their tours. The coach was comfortable with enough room for wide set hips.
My husband and I have just been on the Paddywagon full day Giant’s Causeway Tour with Declan and it was fantastic . We thoroughly recommend it . Declan was brilliant and the organisation was spot on Thank you for a wonderful memorable day .
Giants Causeway is incredible but I wouldn’t recommend this company based on this experience. Some of the driver’s commentary was informative, some offensive and some of it just dumb. The driving itself was dicey at times - fast, jerky. The whole day felt rushed. Find another way to go!
Pasdywagon tours took us to the giant causeway . Michael was our guide and he was excellent, very informative and funny as well. Loved the afternoon trip
Great tour starting at a convenient time and location the driver was really friendly and informative and it was fantastic value for money
Well organised and plenty of time at each attraction . Coach driver was very informative and friendly. Definitely recommended
