Our group of six had the most amazing day on this private tour. We departed from Belfast, with Paul picking us up directly from our Air BNB. We then drove to Giant’s Causeway, arriving just before the crowds. We climbed and walked, taking pictures, and stayed as long as we wanted. We then went into town and stopped for coffee and breakfast before moving on to Bushmills Distillery. A few in our party had a whiskey tasting, and did a bit of shopping. We then moved on to Dunluce Castle, and explored the ruins before capping off the day at Carrick a Rede rope bridge. Each stop was perfect, with us staying as long or as briefly as we wanted. Paul was an amazing host, answering our questions about the historic and political context in the region with both facts and personal perspectives. 10/10 recommend this tour!

Itinerary
Giant's Causeway
The Giants Causeway, the main attraction of the North Antrim Coast is one of the brightest and best attractions on the whole island of Ireland. The Causeway itself has plenty of Irish myths for your guide to tell while your visit to the attraction is under way. To see the Giants Causeway is certainly breath-taking but to experience it with the beliefs of a giant actually building it, is another. The hexagonal patterns that create the different structure like formations through the rocks can be verified by none other than yourself with things like 'The Wishing Chair', 'The Camel', 'The Giants Foot' and the Cliff-Top Path, all of which you will be shown during your experience! Admission to the Giants Causeway is free although there are operational shuttle buses that cost £1 for transport to the Causeway from the carpark, alternatively you can walk the short scenic route with no cost at all. Admission to the Giant's Causeway is free, there is a separate fee into the visitors centre.
Dunluce Castle
Dunluce is one of the most picturesque and romantic of Irish Castles. With evidence of settlement from the first millennium, the present castle ruins date mainly from the 16th and 17th centuries. It was inhabited by both the feuding McQuillan and MacDonnell clans. Historical and archaeological exhibits are on display for public viewing. In times of extreme weather conditions the site may be closed to ensure health and safety of staff and visitors. If in doubt please contact the castle on the number provided to check if normal opening hours can be facilitated before travelling to the site. Winter opening hours (18th November 2024 – 16th February 2025): Daily 9am – 4pm. Summer opening hours (17th February 2025 – 16th November 2025): Daily 9.30am to 5pm.
Bushmills Distillery
In 1608, in Bushmills, a legend was born. In that year, King James I granted a very particular licence to this small village, just a few miles inland from Northern Ireland’s rugged north coast. The licence gave Bushmills the right to distil whiskey. Today, Bushmills is home to the oldest licenced whiskey distillery in the world. Over 400 years later, they’re still making whiskey in Bushmills. They’re still using Irish barley - and the unique water from their own stream too. Four centuries’ worth of craft and experience ensure that these whiskeys are amongst the most celebrated and the most savoured in the world. But as master distiller Colum Egan says, ‘we’re not good because we’re old, we’re old because we’re good’. Tasting only..
Carrick A Rede Rope Bridge
Cross the iconic Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and experience one of Northern Ireland’s most thrilling coastal attractions. Suspended almost 100 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, the historic rope bridge connects the mainland to a tiny rocky island once used by salmon fishermen over 350 years ago. Enjoy breathtaking sea views, dramatic cliffs, and unforgettable photo opportunities along the spectacular Causeway Coast.

A perfect, personalized day in the North or Ireland

The best day with Stevie
We had the best day with Stephen. He was just the perfect person to show us some of the most beautiful places outside Belfast. We went to The Kings Road, had tea and delicious treats there too. Then on to Carrick-a-rede where we walked the gorgeous cliffs and over the rope bridge. Then the Giants Causeway, also a fab scenic walk to this the 4th greatest natural wonder in the UK. Stephen had chilled water and drinks, lots of snacks, a big comfy ride and kept us entertained with Irish stories and family customs. The best day, we'll be back.

Great Experience with TaxiToursNI and Paul!
We had a terrific tour with Paul! He switched up the usual itinerary after we told him our interests and it worked out splendidly. Paul not only was very knowledgable, but he had a lovely sense of humor. We highly recommend him for tours in the North of Ireland!
