10/10 Experience

Delaney was a great guide! She provided us with some amazing stories and lots of interesting history that I was completely unaware of. Thomas was an excellent driver!

Guide & driver handled hiccups very well.

There are a lot of tour companies going to the same places. Of my tours in Ireland Finn McCool has really good guides & driver, so I would recommend them over others, On this tour day the weather was a challenge. The driver managed rerouting for roads that were flooded and one that had collapsed. The guide kept us all in a good mood and entertained even though we were wet and missed one minor view stop. It's the northern coast of Ireland in October. Wet weather is going to happen. This was a bit extreme, and I'm glad our driver & guide handled it like it was all part of the adventure.

Finn McCools Tours giant causeway and Belfast

An absolute amazing experience. The giant causeway was incredible and I recommend taking the walk there rather then the bus. If you’re able to take a short walk and go down some stairs there are lovely views. Would book agen with Finn McCools Tours. Many thanks to the guide Peter and the bus driver Bryan who both did a wonderful job and made this experience 10/10.

No Regrets! so glad we booked this tour

We had The best day with Noel and Declan on our tour of Belfast and Giant's Causeway. The commentary was great plus we had plenty of free time at the stops. The timing was perfect. We had flown into Dublin the day before so it was a perfect way to start our trip. This truly was a Northern Ireland highlight day and we loved it. We weren't sure what to expect. It was a full bus. Stopped for snacks and drinks. I'd recommend bringing some snacks and water/soda with you and prepare for a great day!

Finn McCools Giants Causeway tour.

A very fun, long tour. Jacob and Brian were outstanding as host and driver. Both gave personal insights and shared knowledge that made the ride enjoyable and engaging. Giants Causeway was breathtaking. Our time in Belfast was great and as a special side tour Brian and Jacob guided us through the mural walls and spoke about the troubles that they both lived through, growing up and living in Belfast at the time. Our Belfast tour was concluded with an amazing meal at Whites tavern, based on Jacob and Brian’s recommendations. A very special tour experience.
