Worst tour experience
This was the last day we were spending in Ireland and wanted to see all that we could which is why we chose this day tour. The day before the tour, I had not hear from the tour guide to confirm time and pick up location so I had to reach out to them. I spoke with Brendan (the owner) and came up with an idea of how the day would go and that John was going to be taking us. Saturday morning John shows up, didn't seem to know exactly what was determined the day before. He was just the driver and not a tour guide. There wasn't much information he shared about various points of interest, he just answered questions that we had. He smelled of cigarettes, looked disheveled and seemed disorganized. At one point was having trouble keeping his eyes open, we had to constantly talk to him to keep him awake and eyes on the road.which made us very uncomfortable. We got the feeling that there was a scheduling mix up and we got stuck with who ever they could get last minute to drive us. The items included with the tour were 1. water-there was none 2. admission to the rope bridge-it was closed due to weather (entrance fee included in the price) 3. Dunluce Castle-we didn't go there and not exactly sure why (admission was included with the fees also). As the day went on, John kept looking at the time and keeping us informed as to when he would get home & go to the pub. I sent a text to Brendan to give him this information after we arrived home 2 days later. I wanted to give him notice of this experience and respond first before sharing it. He responded back that he was going to call me yesterday and I'm still waiting for the call. This was a sorry excuse of a costly tour
Response from the operator: Hi, First I'm very sorry to hear this but I've absolutely no idea what you are talking about . Please check every one of my 5 star reviews . You must have been given a wrong link or something to write a review . But I'd appreciate it if you would delete this negative & obviously wrong review on the wrong page ASAP !!! The names you have mentioned in above review don't or never have worked for me so again you are in the totally wrong profile ! Please delete as soon as possible

Martin is the best!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin cost?
+
Prices start at $1,316 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Dublin is not rushed.
Is Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin?
+
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 Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin?
+
Around 4 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 Dublin 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 Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Northern Ireland Day Tour from Dublin 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 Dublin 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 Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. 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 Dublin?
+
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 Dublin?
+
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.
