    Excellent Tour

    We did a private tour with George today to the Antrim coast, covering the Antrim Glens and Giant's Causeway. He did an incredible job from start to finish. He made us feel comfortable from the moment he picked us up, setting a welcoming and relaxed tone for the whole day. Throughout the journey, he made the tour thoroughly enjoyable with his deep insight, interesting stories, and comprehensive understanding of the local lore. We had plenty of time to explore and enjoy all the stunning coastal sites without feeling rushed, and we had enough time to pause for a lovely lunch in one of the charm-filled small towns along the route. My son and I had a fantastic, memorable time and would highly recommend George to anyone looking for an exceptional tour experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Dan, appreciate it! It was great to tour you guys for the day. Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday!!

    Bucket list trip!!

    Once paid in full you can contact George to customize this trip to fit your interests. We had already done the Giant's Causeway and my bucket list was to walk across the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge so spent more time there. Also explored inside the Carrickfergus Castle rather than just a photo op. George took us inside a haunted castle now a hotel and the small bar/café for lunch had amazing food. All the special touches and places he showed us were magical. It far exceeded our expectations. George truly loves his job and tailors the tour to your interests. A wonderful last day for us in Ireland!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for a great review and for letting me tour you guys! Glad to know you had a fantastic day. Hope you all got home safely...

    Best tour, highly recommend

    WOW!!! I can’t say enough great things about this tour and George! He was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about every place we visited, and he made the experience so enjoyable. George even helped customize our tour by making a special stop at the golf course along the way. We never once felt rushed at any of the locations, which allowed us to truly take everything in and enjoy the experience. I would HIGHLY recommend George to anyone looking for an amazing tour experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Response from the operator: Thank you for such a great review! It was lovely to meet you both and tour you for the day :)

    Don’t Just Tour the Giant’s Causeway — Tour It with George!

    Our day touring the Giant’s Causeway and Northern Ireland with George was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip — in fact, we all agreed it was our best day in Ireland! What makes touring with George so special is that this is his own company, not a large tour operation. From the beginning, the day felt completely personal and was tailored to our interests, our abilities and our timetable. There was no rushing from stop to stop or following a predetermined schedule. George’s knowledge of the area is incredible. He took us to places we never would have discovered on our own and shared the history and stories behind them in a way that made everything come alive. He was also incredibly thoughtful with our group. Our 80-year-old aunt has limited mobility, and he made sure she was comfortable and able to experience the Causeway, while still venturing farther out with those of us who wanted to climb and explore more. Even lunch was perfect — George knew just the spot in Ballintoy, and it ended up being one of those wonderful little experiences you simply wouldn’t know to find on your own. But what we’ll remember most is George himself. We laughed all day, learned so much, saw incredible places, and by the end of the tour, it genuinely felt like we were saying goodbye to an old friend. If you are considering a Giant’s Causeway tour, book George. The personal attention and flexibility of touring with him made all the difference. It was our favorite day in Ireland, and there’s a very good chance it will be yours too!

    Response from the operator: Thank you guys for such an amazing review. I'm so happy you loved your day touring with me, and it was great to meet you all. Safe travels onward!

    Stunning views and scenery

    We had an amazing day with George and saw sights that were just stunning! He even timed it perfectly so the on and off showers would be off again when we reached the Giants Causeway! We stopped at so many little gem spots and had views that were breathtaking! George is funny and personable and will make you feel very comfortable on your adventure. Highly recommend this private tour with him. While big busses could only stay on big roads, we took small roads that led to the beautiful views. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could! I don’t think I could have walked up and along and down Giants Causeway without George leading the way and making sure we were safe and happy!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for a fantastic review and for letting me tour you guys! It was great meeting you both and I hope to do so again in the near future :)

    Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.

    How much does Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway cost?

    +

    Prices start at $681 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 Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 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 Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway?

    +

    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 Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway?

    +

    Around 10 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway 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 Black Taxi Tour: Private Journey Through History, Belfast's Political Mural Taxi 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.

    What is included in Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Guide; and Parking fees. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 70 listed pickup locations in and around Belfast. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Tour of the Antrim Glens Coast and Giants Causeway if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Belfast. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
