Highlights
  • Dunluce Castle - A photo stop at the most beautiful medieval castle ruin in all of Ireland
  • Giant’s Causeway - This must-see World Heritage Site is Northern Ireland’s most popular visitor attraction, and for good reason. Magnificent seascape and of course the awe-​inspiring hexagonal/polygonal stone columns that form the legendary Causeway itself, some of which reach 40 feet (12 meters) into the air. The Giant’s Causeway was declared a World Heritage Site in 1986.
  • The Dark Hedges - The Dark Hedges were planted 270 years ago by the Stuart family as a driveway to their mansion Gracehill Manor. It is now the most photographed natural phenomenon in Northern Ireland.
  • City Hall - You will spend approximately 1 hour in Belfast. Belfast has a very compact city centre as a legacy of the Troubles, also known internationally as the Northern Ireland conflict. Visit the Crown bar, Big Fish, Albert’s Clock and many more attractions in the city centre while you do some shopping or buy snacks for your way back to Dublin.

Amazing Scenery and Tour - My daughter and I had a great time on our tour with Quiggs and Saleh, our quide and driver respectively. Quiggs gave a fun and educational history of the areas as we went, including legends and folk tales of Ireland. He speaks fluent Irish, in addition to English, so it was a truly immersive ride through the countryside. The weather was phenomenal for our time at the Giant's Causeway through to Belfast. Saleh assured that we arrived safely at our destinations through narrow, winding roads. Honestly, having taken many other tours in other countries and in Ireland, I have to say that our experience with Finn McCool tours was the best we have been privileged to take!

Excellent Day Out - The trip was definitely the highlight of our stay in Dublin.Timings were superb and we had plenty of time at every stop.Such a well organised tour and such good value for money. We had Elizer as our driver who was wonderful;careful,safe and very pleasant and Quiggs as our guide who was amazing.Quiggs was so passionate,humorous and informative.We learnt so much from him using historical fact and his own family history with a tune or 2 on the way. Such a friendly,warm hearted person.He spoke to everyone individually on the coach, offered to take photos,gave sweets and kept us all on track.I’ve been on many trips and never had a guide this good.I’m so glad we had these 2 guys leading our trip,they really made it. The tour itself left at 6.45 with 2 hours at the Giants Causeway which is a definite must to see and 2 hours free time in Belfast with the photo stops as advised.Quiggs was very informative at every stop and every stop was well worth the visit.We watched Belfast on the way home which was lovely and broke the journey back home up and gave further insight.We were back just after 19.00. Very happy with the whole day and would definitely recommend as a must to do.

Would recommend - Overall great tour. The weather was perfect and the tour was packed with great information and humor. Our guide Luke and driver Nic were wonderful. I wish we had more time at Giant's Causeway. The blue trail (the one the shuttle runs on) was closed down so I was concerned about getting back up the tough red trail in time and would have liked to actually sit and enjoy it a little longer. Would definitely recommend.

Good choice! - We really enjoy Giant’s Causeway but Dark Hedges were disappointing. Maybe because of the time of year we went (October). I would expect more.

Giants causeway is the highlight - Thr highlight of the trip was giants causeway, def worth visiting. It was also good to have some time in Belfast to see the city. Dunure Castle is just a 5min photostat, and dark hedges is good to see if you are a Game of Thrones fan I guess, otherwise its just some unusually shaped trees, not really a highlight if the trip. Downside is that it is a very long day with the majority of it spent on the coach
