The tour guide. I am George, and I have been taking guests on private tours of the coastline (where I grew up) for over 12 years. I love to meet new people, have a good laugh, and show off the stunning beauty of Northern Ireland. I have a lot of fun facts and interesting anecdotes on the areas we will visit. You will have a fun and memorable day with me. My schedule is very flexible, and we can adjust based on your needs and abilities. I can work around you and your timings if you need to start later or finish the tour earlier than planned. It's your tour, and I'm here to make it a great one! I look forward to meeting you soon.
Tour Options
Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway
Pickup included
Itinerary
Admission not included15 min
A brief stop at Carrickfergus Castle for exterior photographs and talk about its history
240 min
Driving the coastal route north, we will make stops along the way for photographs. Passing through Ballygally, Glenarm, Carnlough, Cushendall, and Cushendun. Each village has their own special something, in Ballygally a 'Haunted' castle, in Glenarm beautiful walled gardens. Carnlough Harbour has a special interest for Game of Thrones fans, and Cushendun is a National Trust village. I can listen to your needs and we can adjust the schedule accordingly.
60 min
We will be stopping for food at Ballycastle, as well as a look at its sights, before heading around the coastline towards the Giants Causeway.
25 min
Depending on your fitness levels and the weather, we can stop for a quick visit to see the ruins of Kinbane Castle. It's a bit of a hike down (and back up) a huge set of steps to see it, so you may prefer a brief photo at the view point instead.
5 min
To cross the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, it can take the minimum of an hour (or longer depending on visitors) to cross. However, there is the option of a quick photo at a beautiful view point to keep us on track to fit in more amazing sights.
15 min
This is only a brief stop to view the ruins of Dunseverick Castle with photo opportunities. Depending on the weather, we may also be able to fit in a visit to Dunseverick Harbour and a secret waterfall along the way.
120 min
Usually considered the main event, The Giants Causeway is actually free to visit, although there would be costs to see inside the Visitor Center. We can decide on the day what you would prefer. The walk to the Causeway itself is always an experience, but a (small cost) bus is available to take you to and from the main site if you prefer.
15 min
Dunluce Castle can be viewed and photographed from various spots for free. If you would like to visit and spend some time within the castle walls, please let me know early in the day, so we can ensure a visit during opening hours.
30 min
The Dark Hedges is a hauntingly beautiful avenue of intertwining beech trees planted in the 18th century, creating one of Northern Ireland’s most iconic natural sights. Made famous as the Kingsroad in Game of Thrones, it’s a must-visit stop for atmospheric photos and a quick stroll.

Stunning views and scenery
We had an amazing day with George and saw sights that were just stunning! He even timed it perfectly so the on and off showers would be off again when we reached the Giants Causeway! We stopped at so many little gem spots and had views that were breathtaking! George is funny and personable and will make you feel very comfortable on your adventure. Highly recommend this private tour with him. While big busses could only stay on big roads, we took small roads that led to the beautiful views. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could! I don’t think I could have walked up and along and down Giants Causeway without George leading the way and making sure we were safe and happy!

Giants causeway
George is the ultimate guide. Very knowledgeable. We went everywhere and stayed away from most of the tour bus traffic. Took us to a great place for lunch. We enjoyed the off the beaten track tour. Thanks George for giving us a great day.

George is the Best!
This private tour with George was the best and most enjoyable tour I have ever been on.
George was friendly, funny, engaging and clearly enjoyed his job! He was a wealth of information while taking us to many out-of-the way places that a regular tour won’t take you. We saw the amazing Antrim coast including the Giant’s Causeway and learned so much along the way. The day flew by and we were entertained from start to finish!
If you want a fantastic tour of the coast of Northern Ireland look no further. George was the best!!

Book Now!
Wow, what a day! Right from the start we knew it was going to be a great day, despite the cloudy weather. George was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and full of knowledge! For every question, he had an answer.
The entire day was filled with quick picture stops, cozy pit stops, special locations and amazing people and views. This tour was so fantastic at the start of our trip that I am concerned no other will live up to it!
If you are ever looking for a tour of Northern Ireland, skip the large bus tour and go with George! I promise you won’t regret it!

By George - the only way to go!
Our day exploring the Antrim Coast was awesome and made particularly so by George who conducted our private tour. George accommodated our every request and customised the day to suit what we wanted to do - as well as adding some experiences that we hadn’t thought of but which we are so glad he included. Touring with George is the only way to go and he has provided us with one of our best day tour experiences we have ever had. I cannot recommend him more highly. Thanks again George for this brilliant day sharing this part of your beautiful country with us

Excellent Tour
We really enjoyed our tour of the Antrim Coast and Giants Causeway. George was an amazing, informative, and entertaining tour guide during our day long tour. His knowledge brought to life each quaint little village along the coastal causeway. Since he is a native of the area, he had so many interesting stories to share with us! We are hoping to be back for another tour soon!!! We highly recommend a tour with George!!!

100% our favorite day in Northern Ireland
10/10 experience! George is an extremely knowledgeable and local (and hilarious) guide and my husband and I had an amazing day seeing and learning about Northern Ireland's north coast. George has endless knowledge and fun facts about so many locations along the coast – it really enriched our experience and elevated it from just a sightseeing tour. We loved getting out of the fray at the Giant's Causeway and loved the small village/town where George took us for tea. We felt very safe with George's driving - he knows how to drive the narrow roads and in weather (and also the city roads getting in/out of Belfast) and this alone made the tour absolutely worth it. Thanks George!!!

Awesome day exploring the countryside of Belfast
Absolutely awesome experience! George was very easy going, friendly and personable. Seeing this beautiful country through the eyes of a local brought a whole new appreciation to our experience. The tour was at a nice pace to see a lot of beautiful sites. George is eager to please and will customize your tour to your specific interests. Very comfortable and clean car. We were glad George was the one driving on these lovely and winding narrow roads. Such a nice day exploring! We would highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Experience
Our Northern Ireland tour was outstanding from start to finish. The tour guide was fantastic—the perfect person for the job. He had a very pleasant personality, was extremely knowledgeable, and was patient with the many questions from our group.
One of the biggest advantages of this tour was traveling in a smaller vehicle, which allowed us to take the scenic coastal road along the ocean. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. That drive was one of, if not the most scenic drive I have ever experienced in my life.
The combination of a wonderful guide, spectacular views, and a more personalized experience made this tour truly memorable. I would highly recommend this tour and this guide to anyone visiting Northern Ireland.
