WE'RE GOOD TO GO!
Whilst we have been away and forced to stop our tours, we have updated our Health and Safety Policy, Cleaning Procedures and a Customer Charter. In addition to this, Risk Assessments have also been carried out an updated for each procedure that we follow. An extensive clean of our premises has been completed and now we have been approved by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board as GOOD TO GO.
So whichever tour of ours you decide to join, your safety and the safety of our colleagues is our top concern.

Option 1 - For Cruise Ship Visitors from Belfast Port
This is a full day excursion specifically tailored to suit individuals, couples and small family groups. It is fully guided and takes in the best of the North Antrim coast (including 5 designated stopping points) and a Belfast City Tour.
*Please note this tour is subject to numbers
First stop is Dunluce Castle for a photo opportunity, before making our journey to the world famous UNESCO listed Giants Causeway, often referred to as the 'eighth wonder of the world,' (approx. duration 1h 45mins). Next, we visit the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge for a photo stop, which offers one of the most beautiful vistas in Ireland. Making our way along the beautiful Antrim Coast line through the 8 Glens of Antrim, our designated lunch stop is in the picturesque coastal village of Cushendall, (approx. duration 1hour). Carrickfergus Castle is our next destination, a majestic Norman Castle in the harbour town of Carrickfergus. On returning to Belfast, the city tour (due to time constraints this is not a hop-on/hop-off service) includes amongst other things the famous Belfast wall murals, peace walls, Falls Road and Shankill Road.
All passengers will be picked up from and returned to Belfast Port. Start times and time allocated at the various destinations may be altered to accommodate different ship arrival and departure times, but will always be kept within the parameters of the tour. On arrival, our experienced drivers and guides will meet and greet you and advise you every step of the way.
