2.Causeway Express Tour Shore Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 435 reviews · 5.5 hours · from $47Best value

Travel from your Belfast cruise dock with an English-speaking driver-guide to Belfast City Hall, the Peace Wall and murals, the Dark Hedges, Bushmills Distillery, Dunluce Castle, and Giant’s Causeway. Guides such as Ben, Lindsay, and Kevin are known for lively commentary, but the day can run far longer than 5.5 hours.

“I advice it to everyone from the cruise , because they take you from the port and leave you there with a responsibility to come back before ship leaves. The tour itself is good, you see many places and of course the stones are wonderful. In general you can see the nature and lifestyle of locals too. The only thing for me as not native English speaker sometimes was difficult to understand the guide”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 192 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $106

“This was a good day trip. Our driver/guide, Geoffrey, was a retired Belfast police officer who gave us a first hand perspective on the demographic and political divisions of this relatively small city. A trip to the Giant’s Causeway was a nice treat and a refreshing hike. We had a small group of six people so we had a lot of individual attention and interaction. Recommended.”
