5.00Great day tour to Northern Ireland from Dublin. Well worth it. We appreciated learning about the history of Northern Ireland during our visit to Belfast. It is a long day trip from Dublin but I recommend this if you want to visit Northern Ireland. We also visited the Titanic museum and gift shop.
Amazing Tour

5.00The tour guide failed to show up. The driver took the initiative and seemlessly guided us though the tour. His name was Carl (phonetic spelling as I do not know Gaelic). Very positive, informative, friendly. Learned a lot about Irish culture. Great composure while both guiding and expertly driving. The sights were amazing. Carl is bright, young, hard working and destined for great things. An A plus experience with Carl - well done!!

Well organised BIG bus tour

4.00This is a BIG bus tour - the bus took 66 people and there were 65 people on board. Almost all of them were Americans. So be aware before you book (I was not). The actual destinations were fine - Dunluce Castle was gorgeous; 30 minutes is barely time to get down there and back to the bus, but great to see it. Devil’s Causeway is much less impressive than its reputation but awesome to see for yourself. We had 2 hours which was enough time to get down and back on the shuttle bus, check out the exhibition in the visitors centre, check out the shop and have lunch at The Nook. I went on the black taxi excursion - it was 2 hours of propaganda but I really enjoyed it. In between these experiences it was sitting on a crowded bus for long hours listening to Americans which was not fun. But towards the end of the day our guide played some great music and that was fun.
I did three Viator trips...

5.00I did three Viator trips during my stay in Ireland and even another from this company. This was without a doubt the best of the three. I wish I could remember the tour guide’s name, but I believe the driver was Pete. The tour guide was so knowledgeable, kind, and humorous. He had books of Irish last names and helped me find the origins for my family. He made a point of checking in with everyone in the group throughout the day and play strategic music as certain points of the journey. Yes, the trip is long at 13 hours but it was so well worth it. I’d do a tour with this company or to this location again without hesitation.
Giants Causeway/ Belfast Black Cab Tour/ Daluce Castle June 10,2026

5.00It was a fantastic experience and Stephen O and our driver Beatrix really made the whole day a day to remember. The history we learned from Stephen O and our black cab driver in Belfast about Ireland’s hard and long fight for independence over many centuries was really eye opening. The Giants Causeway is breathtakingly beautiful. Also Daluce Castle is really something to see. Stephen O in particular was humorous and we really enjoyed hearing about his family history. The music he played on the bus really added to the whole trip. I would definitely recommend taking this tour and hope you get lucky enough to have Stephen O as your guide🇨🇦☘️

5.00Our tour guide was great. Steven was entertaining and knowledgeable. Our driver was the first female driver on any other day trip I've been on. Bernice was fantastic. She handled the bus expertly. There should be more female drivers.
A lovely day

5.00A lovely day spent touring North Ireland with Wild Rover Tours. With Dave as our guide and Krishna as our driver, we enjoyed a lovely full day touring Northern Ireland. Dave was knowledgeable and Krishna did a terrific job navigating the roads. The guiding was a great balance of humor and history and practicality. Top marks for the Black Top Tour of Belfast and the great advice at the Giant's Causeway to do the red trail, then connect to the blue trail saving us from walking up treacherous stairs instead walked down, treacherous stairs, but enjoy the view along the way. A highlight of my one week in Ireland!
