About this activity

The tour guide. I am George, and I have been taking guests on private tours of the coastline (where I grew up) for over 12 years. I love to meet new people, have a good laugh, and show off the stunning beauty of Northern Ireland. I have a lot of fun facts and interesting anecdotes on the areas we will visit. You will have a fun and memorable day with me. My schedule is very flexible, and we can adjust based on your needs and abilities. I can work around you and your timings if you need to start later or finish the tour earlier than planned. It's your tour, and I'm here to make it a great one! I look forward to meeting you soon.

Itinerary

Stop 1

15 min Admission not included

A brief stop at Carrickfergus Castle for exterior photographs and talk about its history
Glens of Antrim

4 hours

Driving the coastal route north, we will make stops along the way for photographs. Passing through Ballygally, Glenarm, Carnlough, Cushendall, and Cushendun. Each village has their own special something, in Ballygally a 'Haunted' castle, in Glenarm beautiful walled gardens. Carnlough Harbour has a special interest for Game of Thrones fans, and Cushendun is a National Trust village. I can listen to your needs and we can adjust the schedule accordingly.
Ballycastle

one hour

We will be stopping for food at Ballycastle, as well as a look at its sights, before heading around the coastline towards the Giants Causeway.
Stop 4

25 min

Depending on your fitness levels and the weather, we can stop for a quick visit to see the ruins of Kinbane Castle. It's a bit of a hike down (and back up) a huge set of steps to see it, so you may prefer a brief photo at the view point instead.
Carrick A Rede Rope Bridge

5 min

To cross the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, it can take the minimum of an hour (or longer depending on visitors) to cross. However, there is the option of a quick photo at a beautiful view point to keep us on track to fit in more amazing sights.
Dunseverick Castle

15 min

This is only a brief stop to view the ruins of Dunseverick Castle with photo opportunities. Depending on the weather, we may also be able to fit in a visit to Dunseverick Harbour and a secret waterfall along the way.
Giant's Causeway

2 hours

Usually considered the main event, The Giants Causeway is actually free to visit, although there would be costs to see inside the Visitor Center. We can decide on the day what you would prefer. The walk to the Causeway itself is always an experience, but a (small cost) bus is available to take you to and from the main site if you prefer.
Dunluce Castle

15 min

Dunluce Castle can be viewed and photographed from various spots for free. If you would like to visit and spend some time within the castle walls, please let me know early in the day, so we can ensure a visit during opening hours.
The Dark Hedges

30 min

The Dark Hedges is a hauntingly beautiful avenue of intertwining beech trees planted in the 18th century, creating one of Northern Ireland’s most iconic natural sights. Made famous as the Kingsroad in Game of Thrones, it’s a must-visit stop for atmospheric photos and a quick stroll.
