Memorable Day In Belfast
Memorable Tour of Northern Ireland ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Before I say anything about the sights we saw—which were absolutely stunning—I want to start by talking about Michael, the guide behind Mick’s Tours of Belfast. From the very beginning, he was communicative and professional, reaching out before we disembarked to let us know exactly where to find him. He was right on time and easy to locate, which instantly gave us peace of mind. His Ford Transit van was perfect for touring: clean, spacious, and well-equipped with water, sodas, USB charging ports, and even climate controls accessible from the back. The elevated seating gave us fantastic views of the countryside as we traveled between sites, and he even introduced us to Ireland’s most famous potato chips—which was such a fun, local touch. Michael didn’t just drive us from one stop to the next. At each destination—whether it was Giant’s Causeway, the Queen of the Glen waterfall trail, Bushmills Distillery, or the Titanic Museum—he parked the van, got out, and personally guided us to the entrance. At Giant’s Causeway, where there’s an option to walk down and take a shuttle back up, he even handed us two British pounds in advance to cover the return fare. It’s those kinds of thoughtful gestures that really stood out. He was also a fantastic photographer—always offering to take pictures of the two of us—and a knowledgeable guide, filling the drive time with engaging stories and facts about Ireland’s history, culture, and landscape. Our lunch stop at a local eatery was just right: authentic and well-timed to break up the day. One of the most moving parts of the tour was visiting the Peace Wall in Belfast. Michael gave context without overwhelming us, and it became more than just a stop—it felt like a meaningful experience. Standing there, reading the messages, we were reminded how, no matter where we’re from, we all carry stories of conflict and reconciliation. It was humbling and unifying. Micheal then provided us with markers so we could write our own heartfelt messages of hope and for peace before ending the day. That small but powerful act made it feel like we weren’t just observing history, but participating in the ongoing story of reconciliation. Michael was personable, easy to understand, and clearly passionate about giving his guests the best experience possible. If you’re visiting Northern Ireland and want a tour that’s equal parts scenic, insightful, and sincerely cared for—don’t hesitate to book with Mick’s Tours. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip.
Response from the operator: Hi Julie and Bill, what an amazing review. I am glad you enjoyed your Belfast shore excursion today you are a lovely couple and I enjoyed being on tour with like minded guests. Best wishes for the rest of your cruise and safe travels back home. Make sure to give me a shout when you decide to bring the rest of your family back to Northern Ireland. Lots of love Mick 🍀

Two fantanstic full days with Mick's Tours!
Micheal took us on 2 different tours. One full day around Belfast and one full day to Giants Causeway. They were both fantastic! I was traveling with my mom who has limited mobility and Micheal did a great job tailoring the tours accordingly. She is also a retired teacher that loves history and Micheal did a great job telling us all about the area. The Giants Causeway / drive through Northern Ireland was one of the highlights of the whole trip for both of us.
Response from the operator: Hi Penny, thanks for the great review. You and your Mum were a pleasure to have on tour. Your Mum is cool and fun and I enjoyed the 2 days together. That silent L 😆😆. Safe travels and if you are back in Ireland again make sure to give me a shout. Michael

Best excursion in Ireland
Mick was terrific! It was the highlight of our 2 week vacation. We treated ourselves to a private tour and we’re happy we did. He was very informative, customized our day to what was important to us and had a great sense of humor. Would recommend him for sure! Well worth the money!
Response from the operator: Hi Robert, Thanks for the great review. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the shore excursion. It is always nice to know travellers enjoy their time here in Belfast. Thanks for booking with MicksTours.com

Beautiful Northern Ireland Day Trip from Belfast
We had such a wonderful day with Ossie. He knew all the great spots for stops, including a fantastic lunch recommendation! I can't believe we got to see so much in one incredibly enjoyable day. Some of our main stops included the Carrick rope bridge, Giant's Causeway, Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle, and several other stops, including Balleycastle, a lovely seaside village. Ossie is a genuinely kind person, and we felt so lucky to have him guide us for the day!
Response from the operator: Hi guys glad to hear the great review. Ossie is one of my top guides who pulls out all the stops for guests on shore excursions in Belfast. I will pass on your kind words. Safe travels and thanks for booking with MicksTours_com

A++++ Highly Recommend. Best way to see more of Scotland.
My family of seven came in on a cruise. Mick was standing right outside of the ship when we got off. It was a bit of a crummy weather day, but Mick had mapped everything out with the rain in mind. We were able to see every single thing just barely beating the rain to each stop, while our fellow cruisers on the ship excursions because of the clouds. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Hi Desiree, thanks for the great review. It is always nice when we can beat the rain clouds especially with some of the open terrain at attractions. It was a pleasure to have your lovely family of 5 boys and 1 girl out on tour. Best wishes for the rest of your excursions and safe travels home. Thanks Mick Belfast shore excursion

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.
How much does Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip cost?
+
Prices start at $600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Belfast usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Belfast is not rushed.
Is Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Belfast, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Belfast can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Belfast and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giants causeway and Glens of Antrim day trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Belfast within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Belfast?
+
On Outty we rank every Belfast experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include A History of Terror - Belfast City Centre Walking Tour, Belfast Troubles Tour: Walls and Bridges, Giants Causeway and Castles from Belfast: Guided Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Belfast?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Belfast?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
