Full day in Northern Ireland
JP and Nigel took us on a great day touring Northern Ireland. Both guides were very friendly and super knowledgable answering all our questions and sharing lots of history and fun facts of the area. The vans were clean and comfortable and the tour/stops were everything and more than promised. Would definitely recommend.

Private Tour from Belfast Cruise Terminal
We had a great experience with our private tour from the Belfast cruise terminal. Our driver/tour guide was very pleasant, fun, and informative. He also was nice enough to take our pictures at all our stops. Strongly recommend this tour company especially if you want to see many of the attractions. Murat our guide was also flexible enough to squeeze in some souvenir shopping and a quick stop at the Belfast murals before he drove us back to our cruise ship. Thank you Belfast Tours NI for this amazing day.
Response from the operator: Dear Hanim Thank you for taking the time to write this excellent review. We know other tourists will follow your lead and book this tour.

Highly Recommended
Great tour, amazing scenery, and driver. northern Ireland is absolutely gorgeous and we have seen so much on our 1-day visit. We had 2 hours at Giants Causeway which was the perfect amount of time to explore. Our driver-guide Murat was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the local area, the places we stopped, and game of thrones filming locations. The day has a tight schedule to get around all the stops but it didn't feel rushed or that you didn't have enough time. We had a really good day Thank you Murat for this great day trip. Highly recommend this private tour!
Response from the operator: Dear Customer Thank you for taking the time to write this excellent review. We know other tourists will follow your lead and book this tour. It’s very much appreciated and we are so glad you enjoyed our tour and Belfast. Thank you once again. Best regards Belfast Tours NI

Friendly and skilled
We met Murat as we where searching for George Best`s childhood home and where he started his great career as a football genius. This was a lucky strike for us. Murat did of course know the way, and the next day he gave us a fantastic tour of Belfast and the Northern Irish coastline. During the 9 hour trip we where taken places we did not know existed, we where educated in history, geography, best fish and chips place, whiskey, Dark hedges and Giant Causeway. Thank you Murat, you treated us really well!
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review guys. Brilliant review Thank you for taking the time to write this excellent review. We know other tourists will follow your lead and book this tour. It’s very much appreciated and we benefit from your 5 star review. We are so glad you enjoyed our tour and Belfast. Thank you once again. Murat

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Belfast.
How much does Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port cost?
+
Prices start at $580 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port?
+
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 Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port?
+
Around 2 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shore Excursion: Giants Causeway Tour From Belfast Port 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.
