About the operator
- sannaemiliehoelk00Lovely tour!Went on this tour bus with my mother in the beginning of October. Fantastic trip with a great and sweet guide called Barbara. The bus driver, Marco, was friendly and took us all the way to the cliffs and back. Would absolutely recommend for those who want to experience Irish nature and sights and learn fun facts about history, culture and language at the same time. Thank you so much for the trip, Barbara and Marco! Go raibh maith agat!
- Trip1480864232700Worth every pennyAmazzing crew,good trip,worth the money.we took alot of pictures and the crew was very entertaining.
- bethcU2658XF00Great guides!Our guide and driver Sean and John did a great job making sure that we were well informed and taken care of. We did the black cab tour of Belfast to learn more about the IRA, the troubles and current life in the city. Our driver was Jarrod (sp?) who gave us a deeply personal perspective. Definitely worth the time. The Castle was also quite interesting and we loved the Giant’s Causeway! Weather was perfect!
- joanieebee0010/10 - would do it again!Incredible tour. Wonderful experience overall. Kevin was a fantastic guide filling travel time with history and interesting fun facts. He and Stephen, our great driver, were friendly and so helpful. If you have a full day, I would highly suggest this excursion!
- Sandy S00Wonderful Tour!Wonderful trip with great tour guides - Kevin was outstanding as was our driver. On our drive we learned so much history. Two options on the tour in Belfast - a tour with black cab or the Titantic tour which was great. Great Causeway was beautiful as was the castle we stopped at. Highly recommend!
- Agustin U00Great fast travel to Northern IrelandKevin and Stephen are a great team! Every story, explanation and stop at our way perfect. Plus fun facts and good atmosphere
- W7558FPhamzas00Best Tour guide, driver and tour ever!!Both our guide Kevin and driver Stephen were absolute gentlemen. Stephen being an excellent driver and Kevin an excellent guide. They were very helpful and fun. Kevin was so knowledgeable and gave us info on literally everything we came across. Wishing him all the best with his Higher studies in Trinity :) - The Fecker with the black cap ;)
- GDon131300Great TimeMost enjoyable and educational experience seeing wonders of this world. Sarah our guide was like Encyclopedia Brittanica- a wealth of knowledge about history of Ireland and a great voice as well. Sergio our driver as well. Great people. Great time
- 977katelyng00Wonderful experienceMy husband and I had a beautiful day on this tour! We enjoyed a stop in the town in Kilkenny. We drove through the Wicklow mountains, where we saw lovely sites. Our favorite part was the end of our day where we stopped at a sheep farm. Getting to pet the sheep was so much fun, and a fascinating sheep dog demonstration. Ian was an absolute delight as our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and made our experience even better. This tour is a definite. Peter our driver was so kind as well.
- Ojaimcd00Great day tripIan and Peter were great! Peter is an excellent driver. Gledalaugh was beautiful but bathroom was closed so that wasn’t good. Sheep dog trials were the best!
- andreaml2700Great day tourBarbara was amazing. She recommended us many nice places to spend our time during the tour and also for after the tour. I would totally recommend this tour. The Timor in each palace was about perfect.
- Sean G00Nice tour , bus seats too small for taller peopleNice tour , Dave & Michael do a good job . We did the day trip to Belfast & Causeway from Dublin . Enjoyed the black cab experience. Felt the seating on the larger bus (48 seater) far too constrained for a 12 hour tour.
- rcm82100Lovely Day TripThis was a lovely day trip! Our guide, Neal, and driver, Krishna did a great job. We highly recommend!
- jguire00Must do! Fantastic Tours, Great PeopleSean provided great history and fun context (leprechauns!), while keeping things on track. He's obviously focused on improving his story telling. Most importantly, his outine of Irish history and readings on Yeats poetry offer powerful insights into this beautiful country. Driver Peter took great care to get us there safely and on time. More importantly he maintained great cheesr and managed tight turns and crowded traffic with ease. The Ciffs of Moher and Galway are both first-rate destinations with stunning views and great food, drink, music, and shopping options.
- Lerenis00Perfect day!Excellent tour! Sean was great. Loved the stories. He should come to Boston to do storytelling. They would love it! Peter, the driver was an excellent driver especially on those narrow turns! Overall wonderful tour, we saw so much and perfect weather! Totally recommend it!

The trip was very nice! We started the day in a black taxi of Belfast, where a local taxi driver took us to the most significant murals and historical places in the city while giving some history explanations. Neverless, I would have appreciated to spend some time on our own in the city centre instead of waiting in front of the museum until for people who chose to do the Titanic visit came out. After that, we headed to Dunluce castle, where there is a magnific costline view, and the castle itself is also nice to see. At the end of the day we went to the Giants Causeway, a stunning geographic point that nobldy should miss, I highly recommend visiting it!! During all the trip our guide Connor has told us about Irish history in a really pleasant way, including jokes, interacting with the group making questions, playing music and an interesting video. He has been really helpful with any questions the group members asked him, we really appreciated that! The diver, Joe was also kind and friendly. In addition, he was always on time and made enough stops to grab some food and go to the toilet during the day. I highly recommend this trip!

Murphy and Sean were great hosts. Glad we chose Wild Rover. Murphy was a great mix of informative and humorous. He kept our group well-organized and on time. We were not forced to eat at any overpriced tourist traps as Wild Rover is not compensated at any of the restaurants we were brought to unlike other travel companies in the area. Loved the tour so much that we booked another tour to Galway the next day. Well worth the money and time.

Originally my brother and I, meeting in Dublin for a sibling's weekend, planned to rent a car and take a day trip across Ireland on our own. After we considered the stress and cost of undertaking such a journey by ourselves, we decided to opt instead for this tour. And we are SO glad that we did! We were thrilled with the quality of this tour and found it to be a great value for the price.
Our guide, David, dazzled us not only with his extensive knowledge of Ireland, but also with his musical talent, singing several charming traditional Irish songs throughout the day. Our driver Michael was very kind and even squeezed in an extra 10 minute stop for us at a look out point at the end of the day because the weather at the coast was so stunning.
In Belfast we chose the taxi tour to learn more about The Troubles (the other option was touring the Titanic museum at the port); the drivers were extremely knowledgable and courteous! I would say that this was the highlight of the trip, but in reality, the entire day was so fabulous that it's hard to choose an absolute favorite bit. We learned a great deal of history and were treated very kindly.
After driving up to the coast we spent 30 minutes at Dunluce Castle and later about 2 hours at Giant's Causeway. David gave very insightful tips about how to maximize our time at each stop.
Breaks the use the bathroom and get coffee/snacks were sprinkled throughout the day; places to eat were noted in advance so that you could use your time accordingly. The only challenge in this regard is that the shops/restaurants were a bit overwhelmed at times when our buses descended upon them (understandably so). With this in mind, I recommend packing some snacks and water bottles for the day to hold you over in the case that a line is simply impossible to beat within the given time limits. That way you can focus on the sights themselves and not worry about standing in line too long anywhere.
Thanks so much for the wonderful day trip, Wild Rover Tours! My brother and I get to spend something like 1-2 weeks together each year (at most); you delivered a dream day for us to spend together until we reunite next at Christmas :)

Hi,
Thank you for your review and your kind words. It seems you had a wonderful day out with us and I am really happy to read that. I am just curious as to why you rated this experience 3 stars if you feel like we delivered a dream day? I´d like to discuss this into further detail with you, so if you could please reach out to me at inger@wildrovertours.com that would be much appreciated. Thank you.
All the best,

First thing is that you don’t actually see the city center of Belfast, you have to choose between black cab tour or the titanic experience with no option to explore the city yourself. Second thing is the Wi-Fi, which is not working while driving through northern Ireland. Eventhough it was cold and rainy, the bus had to have A/C always on, so the windows didn’t fog up and it was very cold. So bring a jacket just for that alone. The third thing is that the bus stoped at a random restaurant for lunch and we had no other option but to pay £10 for a sandwich!!! For the cherry on top, the rope bridge was closed and there was no mention of that on their website.
I would have done this tour in the complete opposite order with belfast as the last stop and time for a meal there.

Hello George,
Your review fails to mention the the "cherry on top" was a visit to Dun Luce Castle. For essential maintenance the bridge is temporarily closed to the public. This is obviously disappointing so as an alternative paid for attraction we include the Castle a very popular, stunningly picturesque and historical attraction.
The touring coach is 2 years old. A cool gentle air flows through the cabin for both comfort and health reasons. The coach aircon system is fitted with a UV filtration system which kills all Covid bacteria that might be in the air. A good thing yes ?
Most people need food and a drinlk during the course of a 13 hour day. If you have a problem with that there is not much to say. No one compelled you to spend £10,
The information offered on the tour itinerary clearly states that during the time allotted in Belfast the options of either the Black Taxi Tour of the various conflict locations in the city visiting the two communities most affected during the toubles or a visit to the award winning Belfast Titanic Experience will be included. Whats the problem and why slag off the company for honouring what was promised?
Free Wifi on board the coach,occasionally north of the border over the terrain of the Antrim glens and on the coast line the connection can sometimes can be sporadic. What 99.9% of people do in that situation is look out of the window and enjoy the scenerary.
Good idea, if not for trying to be humerous which you are not. A jacket in Ireland particularly when visiting the coastal locations.
George next please, good idea of yours,next time take the public bus.
Regards
John

The chartered bus with comfortable seating was warm and waiting with chipper, smiling hosts at the prescribed location. After launching out, safety, house keeping and the agenda was discussed. Off we went to Belfast and learned about the history or the region along the way. Arriving in Belfast we were greeted with out “Black Taxi” and guide who told his touching, personal story while explaining the murals throughout Belfast and the history of the troubles times. Continuing on we stopped to see castles precariously hanging on cliffs edge, awaiting the day the sea will reclaim it. Marching on we reached the Giant’s Causeway and witness the ninth natural wonder of the world and what a sight to behold. The wind gusting 40kmh didn’t disappoint. Waves crashing 30ft in the air off the shore, causing sea foam to fly through the air. Although the power was out in the venue buildings, our hosts Kim and Paolo ensures we had amenities and had abundant access to food and drink. Our last stop was the Dark Hedges which had a fairytale feel and was very picturesque. Sadly the day came to an end and to our delight, a traditional Irish tale played on the media screens. Thank you Paolo for your kind demeanor and expert driving. Thank you Kim for the non-scripted informative guided tour. Your passion for Ireland and it’s history is legendary.

Our driver Paulo showed some exceptional skills in driving in the difficult conditions (rain, snow and wind) while Kim was an amazing tour guide. She gave an excellent historical background to the situation in Northern Ireland and took time to explain all relevant information. Kim showed that she cared about everyone during the tour and made sure everyone had their expectations met. The black cab tour in Belfast by Patrick was very poignant and a dream come true, to hear from someone who was there during “the troubles”. The giant’s causeway was better than I had expected and Kim brought it to life wraith her folklore story telling. It was a memorable day,

Tour guide Kim and Driver Gerry!
Can’t say enough good things about you.
You guys are the TOP NOTCH Duo I’ve had given a tour yet. Kim’s warm announcement voice and knowledge of Ireland is second to none. Easy to understand for us who aren’t born to the Irish accent. Really took time and you can tell these folks love what they do and do it well!
This was our first tour of many
I learned so much but also got a taste of the warm Irish hospitality and recommended the best spots for pints and food while in Dublin.
The bus was modern and comfortable, lots of breaks so you can get food and stretch while covering so much ground.
Northern Ireland: from Belfast’s riveting history to the giants causeway walk and a bonus stop at Dunlas Castle this 13 hour tour makes a day feel so productive and really allows one to learn about irelands historical division but also just enjoy the costal bus art it’s the best of both worlds.
Now, in Belfast you have a choice of activity: Black Cab tours or Titanic museum.
If the weather is gorgeous like the day we went highly recommend the cab tour to really learn about Belfast and Irish history. The titanic museum is also gorgeous so either way you can’t go wrong.
It’s almost too hard to describe in words and justify the beauty of what you learn on the tour, but the value for a whole day tour is second to none. We are really glad we started our week long Ireland visit with your company!
We even went to the Celt for stew and a pint of Guinness after then got ice cream at Murphy’s. Magical day.

First of all, shoutout to our driver Paolo, and our guide, Noel. Noel kept the history entertaining and informative, and all of the stops were well worth it. I would highly recommend the black cab tour of Belfast over the titanic museum, the chance to experience the living history is not to be missed. Noel and Paolo didn’t rush us and tried to give us as much time as possible at each stop. Dunluce castle is picturesque. Giant’s Causeway is a lovely hike followed by a lovely meal and a pint. I cannot recommend this tour enough!! On it’s own the itinerary is a great way to see the north of Ireland, but the guides are what make the tour exceptional.

Our guide Kim & Driver James were both phenomenal. They were engaging, friendly and informative. I always have to thank the drivers because it's an exhausting job, keeping us safe on the road. We had two hours at Giants Causeways, plenty of time to do a quided tour or explore on your own We explored on our own and ate at the cafe. Seafood chowder is what I had and tasted good. In Belfast, I did the black taxi tour which I thought was amazing. Learning the history/hate between Catholics & protestant first hand from the taxi drivers who experienced it. My Gf did the Titanic tour. Overall, great trip, it's is long tour. Bus is comfortable, and a out stop to use the restroom and grab snacks

This was the second of the 3 day tours we booked with Wild Rover Tours.
I was hesitant to book all 3 day tours even before trying out 1 of the tours.
My basis of booking their day tours were the reviews that I read about the company and their tours. I have read so many positive reviews. I was skeptic at first but after some thought and some more reviews I read, I went ahead and booked all 3 day tours.
With the Northern Ireland (Belfast and Giant's Causeway) day tour, we had Kim as our tour guide and was lucky enough to have Sarah again as our tour bus driver for the day. She's an excellent driver, so I was rest assured that we will be safe again on this trip. How can I say she was good? On our first day tour, we were fortunate enough to be able to get a seat at the front where we can see the road and our driver as well. I saw how great she maneuvered into tight narrow streets and avoided other vehicles or tree branches and ensured our safe journey.
Kim, our tour guide, was also very informative and shared so many great info. We learned so much during our tour.
This tour as well is great because they give you 2 hours at the Giant's Causeway. They will let you know about the 2 paths that you can take, I would suggest to take the one with the 45-minute hike. But a word of caution if you are afraid of heights as this will mean you hike up the clifftop and climb down steep stairs then hike down to the Giant's Causeway. We were lucky enough to have sunny weather while we were on the clifftop and on the trail. Rain and hale did come towards the last 15 mins of our 2 hours. The rain/hale only lasted for about 5 to 10 minutes. But we got to see a rainbow right after. So it was well worth it. It's funny how we experienced all 4 seasons in 1 day. The day tour ended with us wearing a smile on our face.
Our tour guide and driver were also nice enough to give us some recommendations on where to go to find traditional Irish food and where we can find traditional fiddle music.
I want to thank again Kim and Sarah for taking good care of us that day! Thank you so much Wild Rover Tours!

Hi there! I am living in Dublin at the moment. You do not need passport to move around the island. There no border controls. Hope this is helpful for you! Enjoy your trip

No, the bridge is not included, it is no longer open to tour groups. However our driver stopped on the coast there so we could see below to the bridge. Gorgeous views there.

The information says children 3 and up and you cannot select a "youth" ticket for 2 or under. My daughter will be 22 months. Should I just pay for 2 adults and have her as a lap child and assume her entrance will be free at all locations due to her age? Or should I pay $87 for her?

I wouldn't pay for her and would just play dumb if they ask. Honestly, I probably wouldn't bring her on the tour though. My wife, son and I went to Ireland together but my son is only 5 and the bus leaves at 7 a.m. and gets you back to Dublin close to 8:00 p.m.. it is a very long day. I wanted to see Northern Ireland more than my wife so they spent the day swimming at the hotel (in Dublin) and just walking around. If you do bring your daughter, just remember that there are no bathrooms on the bus and they do not stop a lot.
It is a damn good tour though but just be prepared for a long day.

When we went in December 2022, we were told that the rope bridge is closed to tour groups. So we went to Dunluce Castle instead.
I don't know if the rope bridge is open to non-groups or if it's permanently closes.

This tour did not have hotel pick ups. One was at the Starbucks on College Green right by Trinity College and the other was on O'Connell across the river.
