Our favorite tour day of the British Isles. My teen boys loved climbing at the game of thrones filming site and giant’s causeway. Beautiful! Totally worth it. Very comfortable new Mercedes Benz van. Excellent ride.

Hi and I hope I can welcome you in my beautiful County Northern Ireland and my City of Belfast. I am 49 years old and have lived in Northern Ireland for nearly all my life with the exception of 5 years where I lived in England after leaving College. I have been married to my beautiful wife Joanne for over 18 years. I am a very proud father of 4 children (2 Girls & 2 boys) and 4 grandchildren (3 boys & 1 girl) I am also a Proud Freemason and sit in a lodge in Belfast here in Northern Ireland. I am also a huge Football Fan & Ice Hockey Fan. . . . . . I am an Accredited Tour Guide with over 12 years experience. I was born in the 70's so grew up just outside the City Of Belfast and have seen so many changes in our city and right across Northern Ireland. Belfast was a war torn city and I grew up around this and have seen how it's changed over the years and how it's now became one of the UK safest city's and have watched it transform into a modern city yet still been able to keep some of its old city architecture. I have worked in Northern Ireland as a licensed taxi driver since 2004 and moved onto tourism a few years later and have given uncountable amounts of tours to people from all over the world. In my job I have meet some wonderful people and also worked for some of the rich & famous and far too many to say on here. I also have worked on a few movies and television sets looking after the cast and crew. So in the winter when the tourism industry quietens down I go back to either being a taxi driver or back into the Tv & Movies and I have worked on some of the worlds greats shows including Game Of Thrones Of which I am a big fan and also the movie The Lost City Of Z and Line of Duty and Derry Girls to name a few. My Large Mercedes V Class MPV can carry 7 passengers - luxury comfort at no extra cost - all sitting forward facing or in conference mode facing each other and luggage in my large boot (trunk) so Airport & Port transfers are welcome so are Golfers with all there Golf Bags. I can also cater for smaller or larger party's upon request so please inquire if this is what you need. So whether you want to see my city or museums or out and about in our beautiful countryside I can make your day memorable with a warm welcome and good knowledge and my sense of humor. Just remember that most people don't come here for the weather lol but as we like to say there is no such thing as bad weather . . . . . . . Just bad clothing !! So if you want a guide who can talk the leg of a chair but also knows when to be quite to let the scenery speak for itself then step into my world and I am sure we will part not as strangers but friends. . . . . Very Spacious DVA Approved luxury 7 seater Mercedes V Class. I am a registered DVA Taxi Driver. Fully licensed and insured. Meet & Greet Host.

With this tour we do a full days touring visiting the top Sights on the Beautiful County Antrim North Coast This Tour of the North Antrim Coast is suitable for those who are only in a Northern Ireland for several hours maybe off a cruise ship or who don't want to spend hours upon hours in a car. I have used my tour guide experience to pick the top 5 places to visit on the beautiful North Antrim Coast. If it's countryside you want with beautiful views and some history then you have come to the right place. I can make changes to this tour and also make it longer or shorter just ask. We will make this a day to remember with some good old Irish Craic.
Our favorite tour day of the British Isles. My teen boys loved climbing at the game of thrones filming site and giant’s causeway. Beautiful! Totally worth it. Very comfortable new Mercedes Benz van. Excellent ride.
Brian gave us such a terrific overview of Northern Ireland. Weather didn’t cooperate, and my husband was a bit under the weather, but Brian took such good care of two oldsters— making sure we could see & do as much as possible. He's a history lesson ( with great humor) and a great driver rolled into one. Highly recommend him ! You won’t be disappointed!!
We had a great day with Brian. Thank you!
This was one of the best tours that we did. Brian was great. He got us from attraction to attraction and we could do thing at our own pace. Walked through the Dark Hedges, took difficult hike to rope bridge, walked down to the Giants Causeway( ate lunch at the hotel at causeway) and had time to stop by the Bushmill Distillery for a tasting. Brian knew how to avoid the crowds. Made reservations for lunch which was great. It was wonderful day. Lots of walking. Hats off to Brian for a wonderful tour.
Thank you Brian for taking us to see all the wonderful places that North Belfast has to offer. We had been wanting to go see Giant Steps, a World Unesco Heritage sight and finally accomplished that goal. The Irish countryside is absolutely gorgeous. What more could for in a guide, who was friendly, funny, full of stories about his country, and also a great driver!!!! Thank you
Brian took us on a fantastic tour of the sites of Northern Ireland. He communicated with us ahead of time, gave recommendations for accommodations when we were planning our trip. He was prompt, professional and a lot of fun! He took us to each site and gave us the history and then left us to explore on our own. All the sites/scenery were stunning! We had a lovely lunch at the Causeway Hotel. He also provided water and some snacks. He served as photographer at several of the stops. A great experience!
Firstly we travel up the Motorway off at Armoy travelling through the countryside until we reach our first stop of the day -Aprox 55 minutes 1st Stop is the magnificent Dark Hedges . . these 200 year old beech tree's make one of the worlds top 5 tree tunnels and made famous in the TV show Game Of Thrones. 30 minutes Aprox 2nd Stop is Carrick-a-reed Rope Bridge and walking shoes are advised here as it's 1km walk to and from the bridge over uneven ground and a good head for heights. 120 Minutes Aprox 3rd Stop is Ballintoy Harbour . . go for a walk along the pier or into its cave this picturesque harbour is simply beautiful. 30 Minutes Aprox 4th Stop is 2nd Stop is The Giants Causeway and is Northern Ireland's Top Tourist Attraction. 120 minutes Aprox 5th Stop is The 15th Century Dunluce Castle which sits precariously on the top of the cliffs over the Atlantic Ocean. 30 Minutes Aprox 75 Mins Drive back if you want to cram more that just these 5 sights into your day then ask me for another one of my tours
