Itinerary
The Carrick-A-Rede rope bridge was first established in 1755 – nearly 265 years ago! In its day there was only one single hand rail and the odd wooden slate every few steps. It was highly unsafe and a real thrill seeker may have found the excitement in crossing. The bridge has massively evolved from then to create a safer experience whilst keeping the excitement and thrill of crossing intact. Located along a stretch of the North Antrim Coast, the Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge sits roughly 100 feet over the hollow waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The crossing is often considered daring and for thrill-seekers due to the bridges tendencies to sway in the wind and the drop from looking down. We find this is a great stop and a great piece of the North Antrim Coast to include on our Giants Causeway Tour. **Please Note** - Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge has reopened and is now accepting time-slot bookings. We will be in touch to assist you with your time-slot for crossing after booking your tour.
Final stop before our return to Belfast is The Dark Hedges again this is a famous Game of Thrones film set where 'The King's Road' was placed. The trees dating back to 1775 were placed to create an imposing look into the Gracehill House Estate. There is a legend that the ghost of Grey Lady comes to the tree's and crosses from tree to tree. The lady is claimed to be the spirit of James Stuarts' daughter or one of the house maids from the Gracehill House. This is quickly becoming a piece of heritage within the North of Ireland and is a fantastic spot for Game of Thrones fans and normal tourists!
Ballintoy Harbor or to Game of Thrones Fans, known as 'Iron Islands' is a spectacular spot along the North Antrim Coast that welcomes thousands of tourists each year. We make a brief stopover at the harbor for an opportunity to visit the spot, take a walk and take some pictures. It's a truly outstanding harbor placed on a piece of the coast you have to experience for yourself.
The Giants Causeway, the main attraction of the North Antrim Coast is one of the brightest and best attractions on the whole island of Ireland. The Causeway itself has plenty of Irish myths for your guide to tell while your visit to the attraction is under way. To see the Giants Causeway is certainly breath-taking but to experience it with the beliefs of a giant actually building it, is another. The hexagonal patterns that create the different structure like formations through the rocks can be verified by none other than yourself with things like 'The Wishing Chair', 'The Camel', 'The Giants Foot' and the Cliff-Top Path, all of which you will be shown during your experience! Admission to the Giants Causeway is free although there are operational shuttle buses that cost £1 for transport to the Causeway from the carpark, alternatively you can walk the route with no cost at all. Admission to the Giant's Causeway is free, there is a separate fee into the visitors centre.
Dunluce Castle is a medieval castle ruin that has been persevered and kept to display the history off the North Coast and the territorial war that happened between the 15th and 16th Century. The castle in itself has been documented to be in existence from the 13th century making it nearly 800 years old! To still be standing and preserved to experience and appreciate is a special feeling whilst on the grounds. We make a stop over for a walk around the castle site that has some fantastic photo opportunities.

History of Dunseverick Castle Recorded in the Irish Annals as Dun Sobhairce, Dunseverick Castle was first fortified by an ancient chieftain, Sobhairce, from around the 5th century AD, possibly earlier and, from around the 7th century AD, was then occupied by the Dál Riada, an extended tribal group with strong maritime connections between north-east Ireland and western Scotland. It later became a centre of the Earls of Ulster around 1250–1350 AD, and then a stronghold of the O’Cahan’s and later the MacDonnells from 1560 AD. Saint Patrick and Dunseverick It was said that Saint Patrick once visited Dunseverick Castle where he baptized Olcán, a local man, who later became a Bishop of Ireland. The northern area of the site contains an oval depression of wet ground which is thought to be a holy well and has, unsurprisingly, become known as St Patrick’s Well.
The stunning, sweeping sandy beach of White Park Bay is located in the small village of Ballintoy, County Antrim. The spectacular sandy beach forms a white arc between two headlands on the North Antrim Coast. Its secluded location means that even on a busy day there is plenty of room for quiet relaxation. The beach is also backed by ancient sand dunes which provide a range of rich habitats for bird and animal life. The landscape in and around the bay took shape between 200 million and 50 million years ago. Through faults, landslips and raised beaches, fossils like Belemnites, Ammonites and Gryphaea have been revealed. Look out for Elephant Rock - legend claims that this in fact is a woolly mammoth that tried to escape a volcanic eruption.

What a great day. Christopher took us on a private tour. He was at the dock waiting for us and we rode in a very comfortable, clean van. He customized the tour for us since we did not want to walk the bridge with the extra time he drove us around Belfast and helped us to understand better the historic political issues of the region. He was able to bring all of it to light through stories from his own life. He is a personable and funny guy and we enjoyed spending the day with him.
Wonderful private tour of Northern Ireland. Our tour guide Paul really gave us an in depth understanding of the "troubles" in Belfast. We really enjoyed learning more about Belfast and seeing the beautiful Causeway. He dropped us at a wonderful restaurant for lunch and catered the tour to my 80 year old parents who had some mobility issues. Though his language is colorful, he is authentic and a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed his tour.
A Belfast tour is a must as all the important attractions are far apart. Our guide Chris deserves ❤️ more than 5 stars. We had so much fun. Learnt a lot of Belfast history. Laughed a lot. I highly recommend it.
Paul was a great guide. We enjoyed our full day tour with him. He is super knowledgeable and has lived thru so much in the area . He knows so many and knows the best highlights . No question was off base in search of the truth in the history of Ireland . He’s smart , knowledgable, street smart, and is committed on you have the best tour. I highly recommend him .
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Paul! He is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He answered every question, shared fascinating stories and historical context, and tailored the tour to our interests, making it feel truly personal. The tour was worth every penny. It was long, packed with interesting places and stories, and we never felt rushed. The car had water, snacks, and everything we needed to be comfortable throughout the day. Paul made sure everything went smoothly. He was happy to wait while we explored, gave excellent recommendations, and made sure we had the best possible experience. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belfast!
Beautiful landscape & countryside. Paul was an outstanding tour guide, both entertaining and very knowledgeable about Belfast's history. We had some great laughs along the way and Paul modified the tour so we could see exactly what we wanted to see. Very fun day!
Fantastic experience with Chris for the day touring the amazing sites around Ireland’s north coast. Probably top 2 guides we’ve ever had - highly recommend Chris!! All the sites were simply breathtaking and learning about the history of the area, filming locations for movies and TV and simply spending the day immersed in Northern Ireland is not to be missed. Highly recommend this tour and even more recommend Chris!!! You will not be disappointed!!
This tour is filled with many amazing stops and was so worth the price! Paul made sure we got the most of everything along the route. And having lived through the Troubles himself he was passionate about sharing the history of the North of Ireland. And my husband was very happy to sit on the passenger seat instead of behind the wheel for a day.
Wow! Everything we hoped for, this tour did not disappoint!!! Our tour guide Chris was excellent! Funny but so knowledgeable since he was born here! My husband and cousin agree, this was our best tour since starting our cruise 8 days ago! Description is just as stated. I asked for his card to share with my friends & family.
We really enjoyed this tour, and our driver, Paul, was excellent. I’m not typically a tour-bus person, so while this experience was more expensive, it was absolutely worth it to avoid the hassle of a large group and explore at our own pace. The tour includes a visit to the murals and peace walls in Belfast, which alone adds tremendous value. This portion was one of the most impactful experiences I’ve ever had. Hearing firsthand accounts of life during the conflict in the 1970s and 1980s—from someone who lived through it—was incredibly powerful. I remember hearing about it in the news at the time, but you can’t truly grasp it until you see it through the eyes of someone who experienced it. The rest of the tour was just as impressive. The Antrim Coast is absolutely stunning, and traveling by van made for a very comfortable and enjoyable journey. I highly recommend this tour and this company.
