I attended the Giant's Causeway/Game of Thrones tour with my husband and I'm so glad we chose McComb's. The tour was perfect and everything ran so smoothly. Patrick was our driver and he was fantastic. He gave us lots of helpful information at each stop such as where to get the best photos or which shops to visit for a coffee or snack. He kept us entertained during the drive between the stops and provided lots of interesting information as well. I would thoroughly recommend McComb's to anyone.

We had such an amazing day with Patrick, our driver and guide! The bus was very comfortable and we had plenty of stops to some incredible sites and little towns along the coast. Patrick was so engaging and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed all of the information he provided us! Of course, visiting the Giants Causeway was a highlight but we really enjoyed the entire day and everything we got to see, we would highly recommend for anyone visiting Belfast!

Wow what amazing excursion this was. Karl our driver was so informative and of course that great Northern Irish humor! It's a 9 hour trip but time flies. The drive along the coast is absolutely beautiful, no wonder this was voted top 5 road trip in the world! Pictures does not do it justice. Karl explained we may see dolphin's and whales! Just as he said that we saw dolphin's all caught on camera. My partner and I are massive Game Of Thrones geeks, to see the filming locations was fantastic! Iron islands was closed off due to filming the New Movie/series of GOT. How exciting! Giant Causeways was so beautiful. We had clear blue skies all day which I know how lucky we was to experience this. Karl kindly reminded us that we should return in summer and see the real Irish weather haha. Every stop was worth it and Karl knew his stuff. Would 100% recommend this tour. You don't need to watch GOT to enjoy this trip. The views are breath taking.

First, I’ll state that I enjoyed this tour. I think I would have enjoyed fewer stops with more time at each stop, but that’s on me for choosing this. It did feel a lot like we were just getting out to snap a few photos each time and then back on the bus. The only stop that had any real time to it was Giants Causeway. Second, the locations were in themselves great. Giants Causeway was beautiful and easily the highlight. My second favorite spot was actually Carnlough Harbour (where the wounded Arya gets out of the water). This was such a lovely little town and marina with amazing views. Third, our bus driver / tour guide gave a lot of great info so you understood the significance of what you’re seeing, even from the bus ride. This tour spends a LOT of time on the bus, so it was interesting to have that time filled up with facts and history. He even included some Game of Thrones references / stories. He also gave good advice about where the bathrooms are free and made sure we understood which stops would have shops, etc. he repeated himself a lot and sometimes came off as condescending, but I’m sure that’s based on doing many tours with guests that don’t pay attention. (Note: All this information is 100% in English with little to no accommodations for people who do not understand spoken English.) Now, to my critique: This tour operator McCombs Coaches apparently has no qualms changing the itinerary without telling you. First, they dropped us off at a completely different location from where we were picked up (contrary to what the description says) and only told us they were going to do that once the tour had started. No explanation as to why. I was fine, but I can’t imagine this works well for everyone, especially anybody with mobility concerns. Second, they did not take us to the Cushendun Caves at all. I understand that the caves are temporarily (potentially permanently) closed, but based on what our guide said, that was not a last minute change. Third, we never saw any “Door of Thrones”, though the guide mentioned it. Also note that if you are basing your decision on photos from previous tours, there isn’t a Game of Thrones throne anymore in any stop on this tour. Fourth, while some of the stops in the description are technically accurate, they are also misleading. The Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge is just something you view from afar. The guide said repeatedly that coaches aren’t allowed to take guests there, and even if they were, you have to book the rope bridge experience ahead of time online and there isn’t enough time on the stop. The Bushmills Distillery is also something you just visit the gift shop and maybe have time for the tasting room (but not really). The distillery has tours, but it’s like an hour long and there isn’t nearly enough time in the stop. So again, technically the description is not wrong, but they could have been clearer about what you’re not getting and how to enjoy those things on your own if they are main attractions for you. Lastly, I’ll offer some advice: If you’re still thinking of doing this tour — and again, I definitely think it’s worth the money! — please know that you can easily leave your stuff on the bus while at stops, so bring that coat / hat / gloves / water / snacks / etc. it can get cold in the wind (and rain) at some of the stops, and while I had amazing sunny weather the day I did this, I understand that’s not true all the time. Also, plenty (not all) stops have hot beverages and/or water available somewhere (for a fee, of course). However, the only way to eat a hot lunch is if you eat at the restaurant and bar the tour takes you to. The guide said repeatedly you can’t eat anywhere else in that town. There were a few chicken / beef options, but only one pescatarian option, one vegetarian option, and no vegan or gluten free options. You can choose to pack your own lunch, but it just can’t be a hot food lunch. If you’re fine with that, I would recommend doing that.

We LOVED this tour! Our guide, Patrick, is phenomenal with an excellent mix of information and humor. Giants Causeway alone would be worth it, but Patrick packed a lot more into the day and we enjoyed every minute.

Our guide Patrick was great! Very knowledgeable and funny. He was good at keeping everyone informed about departure times and making sure it was an enjoyable time for everyone. The stops were all great and the causeway was super awesome.

A brilliant day tour. Driver very helpful and pleasant His name was Wilson. We would love to travel with Him again.A credit to his Company.

A really good fun day out, Patrick our guide was hilarious and gave us lots of information about various stop points. Will definitely do it again!

Patrick was not only a safe and reliable driver but also a very knowledgeable guide. Loved the tour. The right stops and timing too. Highly recommended

The trip are not stop with the point that show in brochure, 2 highlights point; caves of cushendun and portaneevy view point. Take more time on bushmill distillery ( I don't want to buy the whiskey)

the driver Patrick left us without waiting 40 miles outside Belfast on a Sunday where even getting back to Belfast was almost impossible for us as we are from Ukraine and did not speak good English. one friend was on the bus and when asked to wait the driver refused. good thing the locals of that small town helped us and were able to call us a taxi from Belfast itself. after calling the company and telling them the situation they said it was not their fault that the driver left us.

Whilst I’m sure this trip would be better in warmer months, the whole experience was great, I read the reviews as you are now and were lucky enough to have Patrick as our driver and guide for the day, as he seemed to be the man, we were not disappointed, a lovely day, I think the experience was enhanced as we could spread out on the coach, if it was a full coach I’m not sure we’d have enjoyed it as much, very comfortable though, no complaints, just nice to have a row to yourself! The trip took us all around the north coastal road of the island as stated in the adverts with the mind-blowing, Giants Causeway, a unesco heritage site and you can feel and see why Refreshments and lunch options, at an extra cost, were available at stops along the way, we took in the pub lunch and that was delightful, plenty of stops for use of amenities Patrick is a top guy, great knowledge and humour too We had a thoroughly enjoyable day

We went on the coach to the Guinness Store House as part of a hospitality course. Paul was our driver and he was extremely friendly and accommodating. The small coach was new and very comfortable with the opportunity to move the seats slightly to enable passengers seated together to have a bit more space. You could also charge your phone. I would definitely recommend this coach company. We were all very impressed.

Made the trip with friends in early December 2024. The sights / scenery were amazing and driver Patrick added to the day with his commentary / knowledge and sense of humour. Great value for money and would recommend to others visiting Belfast. Thank you McCombs.

We traveled to Kildare village with McComb coaches. Our driver was Paul. He was fantastic, considerate, funny and so very helpful. We had a great day and it was very reasonably priced. Paul was a atar
