We had an excellent day out visiting the Giant’s Causeway with Paddywagon Tours! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip was made even better by our driver, Gary. He was great craic, really informative and kept us laughing throughout the day!
Everything was well organised, there was plenty to see, and we had such a good laugh along the way. Gary really made the trip special with his knowledge, humour and great personality.
Would highly recommend Paddywagon Tours, and if you get Gary as your driver, you’re in for a brilliant day! ⭐️

Giant’s Causeway

We would highly recommend this afternoon guided trip to Giant’s Causeway from Belfast operated by Paddywaggon Tours.
Our guide Gary kept us all well informed throughout, his humour, knowledge and storytelling kept us entertained during the trip from start to end.
The whole trip ran smoothly and on time.
Anyone who wants a taste of the Giant’s Causeway, this hassle free afternoon tour is a must.
If you are visiting Belfast and short on time this trip is perfect.
The Giant’s Causeway is impressive, in October with the crowds calming down we managed to wonder around the unique National Trust site without being overwhelmed.
Overall this trip was good value for money and this guided tour makes sightseeing stress free.
