One of the best! - This was a great tour with multiple stops, Not just the Giants Causeway. We went to Dublin Castle, several excellent viewpoints, a delicious lunch, the Jamison distillery and the dark hedges. The timing was excellent and Karl, our tour guide was knowledgeable, witty, and attentive.

Totally recommend, great day with a great tour company and great value for money 👍 - Totally recommend this coach trip, from start to finish it was first class. Patrick, our driver and guide, was amazing on both fronts, so knowledgeable and explained the complexities of Belfast and Northern Ireland to a multi national audience, brilliantly 👍 For all the destinations throughout the day, Patrick made sure we knew what to expect, what to look out for and what time to return to the coach. Coach was very comfortable, great air-con and weather was very kind to us 😊 Got to say, Northern Ireland didn’t disappoint, absolutely stunning scenery, and McCombs and Patrick, 100% made sure we got the most out of our day, thank you 🙏 Would recommend McCombs 👍

A great experience - This is an excellent day tour for first timers in Northern Ireland. The drive up the coast is spectacular and 2 hours at the causeway is the perfect amount of time. I’m usually reluctant to join group tours but this tour was completely free of pressure or coercion. There is no obligation to spend one penny more. The optional lunch is worth buying though. Patrick was an excellent and informative guide!

Worth every penny! - A great guide/driver, Paul, gave us fun and interesting facts and history about the places we went. Plenty of stops and photo ops. This was well worth the money and time. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Great tour - A very good tour with an excellent guide. lots of information about every turn of the road, special stories, history, details etc. . Adequate amount of time at every stop. BTW pay the extra to book seats at the front of the coach, easy to get on and off at every stop.

A full day of activities! - A very long day but is it worth £35? Absolutely! Covered a lot of miles and whilst I’d initially only intended to see the giants causeway the rest was an added bonus! By mistake I booked myself on the Game of thrones tour. We stopped at many a place. I didnt have a clue about half of it but friends on social media (who watched GOT) knew exactly where I was so that was nice. Karl the tour guide was very knowledgeable and a good driver! His humour became a bit tiresome towards the end of the day but he seemed like a nice man and I’m probably a bit grumpy. My standout moment from the day has to be the lunch stop at The Fullerton Arms. Excellent food, excellent service and a lovely surprise. Whilst timings have to be strict; telling people you’ll leave them if they are late at the beginning of the day isn’t confidence building. But rules are rules. I loved the places with trees on the estate but the fear of the coach leaving without me was too much so I think I missed part of it :( Like I said the day was a long day but in hindsight, I had a good time, saw lots more of NI and learnt loads as-well. Due to traffic I was dropped half hour away from the original meeting point, almost 40min walk to hostel. But I’m over that now, on the whole an experience that I’d recommend! And the whole family can do it!

Too rushed! - The Antrim coast is beautiful. The dolphins were a delightful surprise. However, the stop times were far too short, on off, off on the bus with 20 mins at most stops is no good especially if older.. unfortunatly I cannot recommend. Also I phoned in the morning to ask if we could b picked up closer to our hotel and refused. However another couple were picked up from the Europa and our hotel was a few hundred yards away. Our driver Ray was excellent. Very informative and as we were over for the Boyne celebrations on the 12th to see so much Red white and blue banners and arches to celebrate King William at the Battle of the Boyne was an extra treat.
