Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Absolutely fantastic tour with Quiggs & Vic on our first visit to Nothern Ireland! Both worked together really well to make sure the day ran seamlessly - everything was well timed and planned to perfection. Quiggs is a natural and we're so happy we ended up with him as our guide: his attention to detail, comedic wit and ability to retain and relay so much information about the local area or historic/mythical events is incredibly impressive. Even to hear his own views on things was super interesting, and made every interaction with the party on our coach feel authentic and unscripted.
We'll be sure to reccomend this tour and book on another during our next trip to NI! Thank you both.

Had a wonderful tour with Finn tours. Ryan was a wonderful tour guide with lots of information. Anna was a very competent driver. The Giants Causeway was just unbelievable. Also the Titanic museum was great. All the other stops were well worth the time. Would do this tour again.

Crowded and claustrophobic. Difficult to read all the information in such a busy exhibition. To go early is a good idea. Not as good as I'd anticipated.
Best bit was the ride.

A very well organised day out which was very good value for money. Noel our guide was informative and a very pleasant guy. Smoothly and expertly driven by Thomas. I would just add one tip to future travellers: if you are staying in or near Belfast I would leave the tour at the Titanic museum. The tour allowed 2 hours for the museum. However we were staying in Belfast and therefore left the tour. We stayed in the museum for 3 hours and felt 2 would have been a rush. The museum itself is a masterpiece of design and ingenuity. Don't miss the cable car and allow time to savour the lower and final floor with the glass floor and roll call. Very moving and superbly done. The tickets were valid to visit the Nomidic- the tender ship and outside the museum- on a separate day.

This was 1 of 2 Finn McCool tours of the total of 5 tours I did over my 2 week vacation. This was the better of the 2. I booked this one because when I booked it the description included Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge. This was a major site I wanted to experience. The day of the tour is when I found out not only were we not going to be able to cross the bridge, but we also weren't even going to stop there! The tour guide (Ryan who was very good as was our driver) was telling tales (Blarney) the entire tour so we thought he was joking. I posted the question on a Face Book page for people travelling to Ireland to ask questions. That is when I found out that the bridge has been closed to tour busses for over a year!!! I received a request from Finn McCool Tours on how hard Covid has been on their business, how they are working hard to rebuild their business, etc and to please write a review. I would think that with them trying to rebuild their business, they would have accurate information on what the tour does & doesn't cover. The guide & driver were awesome and totally made this tour passable. My overall suggestion is to confirm before booking, there are so many tour companies, you will not miss out if you don't "book right away".

We have NOT advertised the rope bridge since 2019. And you did not book in 2019 so the rope bridge would not have been in the description
You could have read Paddywagon description but booked our tour They still advertise it but also does not stop there

The meet up place listed for Belfast (in front of "Top Shop") doesn't exist. We we were told by locals it went out of business yeats ago.
I was disappointed that the Carrick-a-rede bridge was closed, we were not allowed to walk it. The bus didn't even stop at this location. The time at Giant's Causeway was sufficient although you need a separate ticket to get into the visitor center where the Cafe is. The stop at Dunluce Castle was ample time also. As for our driver. Handsome Thomas, & guide, Ryan. We're fantastic!! They definitely made the experience 💚☘️

The sights were great but some inaccurate info in the description. This tour starts in Dublin and by the time we got to get on the bus in Belfast there were only scattered single seats left and no way for a couple to sit together.
The meeting point spot description in the directions is very wrong. The address is not at 31 Chichester St., but in front of the building at 70 Chichester St, which is across the street. The instructions say that it is outside the entrance to the Top Shop, which has not been there for a few years, although it is a short way down the street across from the Garrick Bar. If it had not been for a gentlemen at the desk inside 31-35 Chichester St., who directed us across the street (as he has been doing for a long time) to the exact pick up spot, we would not have found it, as there is no sign. FIX your instructions.

The Titanic Experience was outstanding. It was very well laid out and easy to tour. I did the Discover Tour which I would highly recommend. It is a one-hour walking tour around the outside of the museum. The guide, John, was very interesting and engaging and the tour was highly informative. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who was visiting Belfast.

Hello
has anyone done the hop on hop off trip?
I dont get into Belfast until 9:45, leaving it too late for nearly every single trip that goes to giants causeway.
yet this trip (via the website) is listed as hop on hop off, so im assuming I can get on any of the hourly trips to go to giants causeway and jump on any going back?
Any help would be SOOOO appreciated!
Thanks, Laura x

We will be cruising on the Royal Princess and in the Belfast port on June 11, 2018 from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Having never been to Belfast, we would like to make the most of our time and see the number one attraction in the area. Your company comes highly recommended, according to reviews. Our travel agent has suggested booking excursions only through the Princess line to ensure making it back to the ship on time for departure. Do you pick up and drop off at the port where we dock? Could we be assured of making the ship's timeline? How much would the Causeway/Bridge tour cost in American dollars?

I'm sorry, don't know where is gge harbour. We'll be traveling on the Caribbean Princess, docking in Belfast. Do your tour pick up and drop off at the dock? Love to book your tour to the Giants Causeway, if possible.

Do you do pick up from the cruise port?
On an average, how many people are on the tour to Cliffs of Moher, and Giant's Causeway?

On our Giants Causeway shore excursion we pick up and drop off at gge harbour. And there can be anything from 16 to 60 people on the bus.
