1.Luxury Giants Causeway Tour in Mercedes + FREE Belfast Mural Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 155 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) Our pick

Spend about eight hours in a private Mercedes with a local Belfast guide, visiting the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-A-Rede, Dunluce Castle, Ballintoy Harbour, and more. Cruise passengers get a condensed Bushmills tasting, plus a free 30-minute tour of Belfast’s Falls Road, Shankill Road, and Peace Wall.

“Our guide Paul was very inflexible, in spite of him being late to pick us up and early to drop us off. Rather than providing us a narrative of the geographical region and the political history, he continued to insert his personal political and religious beliefs, neither of which we were interested in hearing about. He also disparaged various religious and ethnic groups which was offensive and unprofessional. I would not recommend or encourage anyone to take this tour.”
