Step into Westeros: Giant's Causeway & GoT Tour from Belfast

Great tour and Patrick our driver was brilliant and informative Done the full day and it went in very quickly as plenty of stops

Where do we start, from the moment our tour guide Paul picked us up he was all smiles and engaging.All the way round the 10 hour tour he informed us on everything, from the conflicts of Ireland to restaurants, bars, and history of each and every visit. He made the tour . His banter and humour was off the scale. Also lovely tone of voice. Would definitely recommend this tour but a bonus if Paul takes you.

An Unforgettable Great Ocean Road Experience with an Exceptional Guide! We had an absolutely amazing day touring the Great Ocean Road! Our guide was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire journey. The itinerary was very well-planned, allowing us to see all the stunning sights—from the dramatic rock formations along the coast to the serene rainforests inland. What made the trip even more special was spotting three iconic Australian wildlife species: koalas, kangaroos, and colorful parrots! Our guide’s experience truly shone, especially on some of the winding and challenging mountain roads, where he drove smoothly and confidently, making us feel safe at all times.

Our driver/guide Paul was funny, knowledgeable, and a great driver on those narrow NI roads! He told great stories along the way, and kept our busload of people (25 of us) on time. Total tour duration from pick up to final dropoff was just under 10 hours if that helps with your planning (0830 to 1820). We had about 90 minutes of self-guided time at the Giant's Causeway which was enough time to hike the entire trail and back, if you're a medium fast walker. I either didn't know or didn't remember that a visit to Bushmill's distillery was included - great surprise! A lot of these Causeway tours look the same on paper. I can't tell you about any other ones, but the McComb's itinerary and Paul the driver were really great

My husband and I loved the day. North East Ireland has a lot to offer, from the medieval castles to the beautiful shore line and quint villages to the Giant Causeway geological mystery … all worth visiting !

Driver was very informative and friendly. Tour was fun for everyone, even if you haven’t watched Game of Thrones.

We had a full day with driver/guide Karl on a large and comfortable coach for a very reasonable price. It seemed we ranged all over the beautiful countryside of Ulster and saw many memorable sites, with plenty of restroom and food opportunities. But the real prize was Karl - he was very informative and funny, even if (by his own admission) a wee bit challenging to understand at times with his charming brogue on American ears. Lunch (not included but arranged for us) was a terrific steak and Guinness pie, but many options were offered. For Game of Thrones fans like me, we visited several shooting locations, but there so much else to see, too - notably Giants Causeway. Amazing sights and views everywhere.

The bus trip was great, our driver Frank told us stories of Belfast and the surrounding history. Only feedback is that due to the rain maybe he should not have encouraged passengers to take the long trail at the causeway. Everyone on the bus was drenched and it was cold on the bus.

This was a great tour. We signed up for the Game of Thrones element however we saw so much of the beautiful N.I. coast too including a very soggy visit to the Giant's Causeway. Our driver and tour guide (Patrick) was superb. Very knowledgeable and a great craic. I felt the cost was more than reasonable for the 8 or so hours we spent on the trip. Plenty of stops and places to grab drinks and snacks along the route. I would highly recommend.

There are journeys that transport us, and then there are journeys that transform us. Our day with Karl, wandering through Northern Ireland's mystical landscapes, was unquestionably the latter. From the moment we left Belfast's bustling energy behind, we entered a different realm entirely – one where ancient stones whisper stories and the very air seems to shimmer with the presence of the land's timeless guardians. Karl understood this sacred quality intuitively. He wasn't merely an Irishman, driver or guide; he was a keeper of stories, a bridge between worlds, moving us through the landscape with humor, reverence and deep knowing. We began at Carrickfergus Castle, where centuries of history pulse through damp weathered stone. Then onward to the Dark Hedges – that ethereal cathedral of intertwining beech trees where the veil between worlds grows wonderfully thin. Here, if you pause and breathe deeply, you can almost hear the whispers of Ireland's faeries dancing through the misty dappled light. The magical old forests held us in their ancient embrace – trees that have witnessed centuries, their roots deep in stories we can only sense. We walked quietly through cool, damp countryside where time moves differently, where each breath brings the scent of earth and moss and memory. Cows and sheep grazed peacefully in the many emerald fields, their contentment a teaching in itself, while we stood overlooking dramatic cliffs where the Irish Sea stretches toward infinity. At Carrickfergus, we explored among the castle's remaining walls – stone guardians that have weathered storms and held space for countless souls before us. There's a particular quietude that lives in these ancient places, a stillness that invites reflection. Through Ballymoney we traveled, then to Carnlough Harbor where sea and sky merge in perfect harmony. Ballycastle, Ballintoy's dramatic coastal magic, the Giant's Causeway where earth's ancient creativity is rendered in basalt columns... each stop offered its own invitation to stillness, to simply be present with the profound beauty surrounding us. These weren't just destinations. They were portals to peace, chances to reconnect with something older and wiser than ourselves. Karl honored this energy beautifully. His humor, his detailed knowledge enriched our experience without overwhelming the quiet magic of each place. He knew when to share stories and when to let the land speak for itself. At Bushmills Distillery, we found grounding warmth after our journey through these faerie-blessed landscapes. What surprised me most was how this journey became a wellspring of inspiration – old as time insights flowing into my being as an author, reminding me of truths I write about but sometimes forget to embody. Here, among these ancient landscapes, I was gifted profound lessons about finding calm amidst the daily stress and worries we carry from our lives. Even on vacation, we often bring our burdens with us. But Ireland's timeless presence – the patient stones, the eternal sea, the forests that have weathered countless storms – whispered a different way of being. These lands have held space for human worry for millennia, and they remain, peaceful and whole. Throughout the day, Karl went far beyond expectation, creating space for us to truly absorb the calming, peaceful energy that flows through Ireland's countryside like an invisible river. He understood, perhaps without words, that we needed not just to see these places, but to receive their medicine. He kept us safe, honored our pace, and delivered us back to our ship with time to spare – all while maintaining that gentle awareness that makes sacred travel possible. This is more than a tour. It is an offering, a gift of connection to land that remembers everything and forgives everything. If your soul is calling you to walk where faeries still dance in morning mist, where ancient energies pool in standing stones and seaside cliffs, answer that call. And ask for Karl. With deep gratitude for a day that fed the spirit as much as it delighted the eyes. … Audrey Kaihatsu
