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.

Neil was a great tour guide and Mack was an excellent driver. Neil played his guitar and sang us songs by people from Ireland during the downtime between talking points and Mack took us to an extra place not on the brochure which was nice. 10/10 would recommend

While Dublin is a great city it’s worth your while to spend a day on the Finn McCool tour into the beautiful Irish countryside up to the majestic Cliffs of Moher and the seaside town of Galway. My wife and I had a fabulous time listening, learning and laughing to our wonderful tour guide Luke. Our driver, Goran, gave us a smooth, comfortable ride along the way navigating the bucolic country roads Be sure to request them when booking. The entire experience was a highlight of our trip to the Emerald Isle! Thanks again guys.

Gerard led an informative and fun tour, while Vedran masterfully piloted our bus through some winding roads of Ireland on our way to Belfast. We stopped at Giant's Causeway and the Dark Hedges. What a fabulous way to see parts of Ireland and hear its history come alive.

Giants Causeway and Dark Hedges are something that must be seen. This part of the trip we thoroughly enjoyed. The driver Anil and tour guide Noel were also very pleasant, amusing and knowledgeable. What was disappointing is the trip we booked and paid for was not fully delivered. A snippet below of the booking confirmation which clearly shows our trip to include the Glens of Antrim and total duration of the trip being 9 hours...A snip below of our booking confirmation...

Saturday 01 Jul 2023
9:15 AM - 6:15 PM
Duration: 9 hours
We were picked up at 9.15am and shortly after 3.15pm we were dropped back off in Belfast. When I approached the driver back in Belfast he said he knew nothing about the Glens of Antrim and should take this up with the tour company. Our first email sent on Monday 3rd did not deliver for some reason and when I followed this up today, disappointed to have not received a response, I was informed the initial email wasnt received. I therefore explained again my reason for contact and was informed I was wrong, the trip was not 9 hours and I should update my cookies!! William has very poor customer services, obviously his back was up because we asked to be compensated for the short comings of the trip, of course he wouldnt entertain this stating it was our fault and if we wanted a different trip we should have paid for it. We just wanted what we did pay for and I told him we would therefore be submitting an honest review. This he deemed as being blackmail!! and refused to further comment.

That is not the tour you booked!!!!!
You booked the cheaper 6 hour tour from Belfast but wanted the full day tour that included titanic musuem. If you want the more expensive tour you need to book and pay for that tour!

Did a day tour to the Giant Causeway and Belfast. Although the weather was a typical rainy day, glad I brought the raincoat the tour was still great. Peter our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job of educating before and after each stop. He was friendly and patient with the group when answering questions or waiting on us to return. Goran our driver was great with maneuvering the narrow roads. Always felt safe.
Thanks gentlemen, weather aside I enjoyed my day

The Cliffs of Moher and Galway tour was well worth the time and money. Our guide, Derrick, was fantastic: knowledgeable, funny, and professional. It's a fantastic tour for any age. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Brian was our tour guide, he was wonderful and witty. Very knowledge on Irish/ Northern Ireland history. Our was on time, our diver was great. We were able to see many locations, Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges and Belfast. It was much easier to do this tour if you are short on time. Could not have asked for a better tour guide. Would book with them again.

Today my wife and i took a tour of the causeway with Noel as our guide and Goran as our driver. Noel was enthusiastic friendly and very informative. Goran was a safe driver and also very helpful. We would recommend the tour: interesting and a good value. Thanks Noel and Goran. Daniel and Dawn

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

What time does this tour start and end? I would be flying into Belfast with arrival time of 8 am and departure 8 PM.

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?
Written 30 March 2017
Hi
First off we do not go to Cliffs of Moher from Belfast. Its to far away.
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.
Hipe that helps
