Hi all!
We are traveling to Ireland in October and I wanted to ask if anyone has a recommended Day Tour from Dublin to Giant's Causeway? I've searched this forum but didn't find what I was looking for.
I've looked at Wild Rover, Paddywagon, and Finn McCool Tours, but nothing seems to really fit what I'm looking for and some reviews aren't great. The problem is, all these tours take an hour in Belfast, which we would rather save for another trip. I can't seem to find one that doesn't stop in Belfast. I'd also prefer a small group tour but can't find that (and can't pay $$$ for a private tour). I'd also love to see Dark Hedges and Dunluce Castle, but the tours only stop at the castle for a 5 min photo op...would love to stop at each for longer.
I'll note that we have planned our trip in a way that we arrive in Dublin on October 13, and are renting a car for 4 days to see other sights around the Republic of Ireland (Tara, Cashel, Cork, etc). We then leave Ireland for a while to visit the UK/Spain, and are returning to Dublin for 3 days (October 29-31) so that we can return home from the Dublin airport. We won't be renting a car again for those 3 days, so we want to take a Day Tour to see the Causeway.
(Added note: we have booked the Point A Hotel in Dublin for those 3 days and are unable to cancel at this point, so we must stay in Dublin).
I'd also love anyone's feedback on being in Dublin on Halloween day....I'm actually really excited about this!
Thanks! :)
