Highly recommend for any Belfast vacationing families!
Chris was amazing! He went above and beyond to make the family comfortable, keep the kids entertained, and provide facts and background for everything we did, as a tour guide would. We managed to see a bunch of locations in a short amount of time, and Chris knew so much about every single stop. Our vehicle was kept spotless, had good AC, and was stocked with snacks and waters. I absolutely recommend him and this tour if your journey leads you to the Belfast and surrounding area.
Enjoyable tour of Antrim Coast
Paul gave us a tour of the Antrim Coast that was a wonderful combination of walking and hiking to the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge, the Giants Causeway and Dunluce Castle, as well as riding in his Mercedes van as we went to the other sites found along the way. Paul also added on a stop to the Royal Portrush Golf Club-where “The Open” will be held in a few weeks. As we drove along, we enjoyed listening to what it has been like to live in “The North of Ireland” for many of their citizens. It is a beautiful area to see and Paul was a very memorable tour guide and driver.
Fantastic day - all thanks to Paul!!
Paul is a legend! We weren't supposed to dock in Belfast - but once I knew we were, I knew I wanted to get a private tour to make the most of the day and it was the absolute best decision, and I'm so glad we chose this option.Paul had us all in stitches, start to finish. He is very generous in his sharing of history and his own lived experience with regards to the war. We learned so much and it was so insightful.When asked if he could drop us off in a pub at the end, he even chose an amazing pub that was the cherry on top of the cake.I hope our paths cross again!!Diolch Paul!!

Excellent experience! Our tour guide Chris was kind, knowledgeable, and patient. The van was clean, smoke free, and stocked with waters and snacks. I really appreciate not being rushed during the tour as well as learning a lot about Northern Ireland’s history. And, the views were amazing! I’ll be returning to Ireland with my Mother and will definitely use TaxiToursNI again.
n Unforgettable Journey Through Northern Ireland with Chris – Insightful, Heartfelt, and Full of Charm
We had the pleasure of touring Northern Ireland with Chris from TaxiTours NI, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Chris is personable, warm, and full of energy — the kind of guide who makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. He shared not only the history, but the heart of each place we visited, weaving together facts, folklore, and personal insight in a way that was both entertaining and meaningful.His retelling of the Giant’s Causeway legend was one of the most memorable parts of the day — told with the same wonder and conviction as if he’d first heard it as a child. That level of storytelling brought the landscape to life.As someone unfamiliar with the complex history of politics and religion in Northern Ireland, I appreciated Chris’s ability to explain it clearly and respectfully. He offered a balanced, thoughtful view of the region’s past and how communities are continuing to move forward — not just surviving, but healing.Chris is the kind of guide who doesn’t just show you a place — he helps you understand it. Highly recommend.
Day catered just to us!
Awesome tour. Our guide Chris picked us up at the cruise terminal and was waiting for us when we arrived. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He accompanied us to all the attractions which included walking with us to the rope bridge. We even had time to do a quick city tour which included the political wall. He stopped up by the market for a little shopping on the way back to the ship. Don't miss this tour!
Highly recommended! Super worth it. Value for money! The best!
Private tour in Belfast with Chris. Chris, our driver/guide in Belfast was simply amazing. We were able to see a lot in 8 hours. He was able to fix our schedule, without rushing us, in such a way that we saw the must-see places, the Giants Causeway, the Dunluce Castle, the Old Bushmills, the Titanic MuseumHe even included several extras that were not part of our original itinerary. These"surprises", such as the Dark Hedges and Ballintoy Harbor ( places where the Game of Thrones were filmed), and the Peace Wall, made our visit more memorable. Chris really took care of us. He found a way to grant our requests. He was both funny and a good storyteller. His stories of his childhood helped us imagine how it was to live in the early 2000s. He was very knowledgeable about the places. Plus, he took great photos of us. I truly recommend getting them. So worth it! Truly, value for money. Thanks Chris for giving us great memories of our stay in Belfast! And thanks Paul for your patience with all my queries before our tour. Cheers!!!
Highlight of our trip to Belfast
Our tour with TaxiToursNI was the highlight of our trip to Belfast. Our guide and driver’s (Paul) knowledge, insight and interaction was equally as impressive as the beautiful sites we visited on the Altrim coastline (Giants Causeway, Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, Dunluce Castle & The Dark Hedges).Paul tailored our tour to suit a family of 4 (including two teenagers) that kept us all fully engaged, hydrated and with the flexibility to visit sites at our own pace. We would definitely recommend the tour and Paul to other visitors. Thanks Paul!
Gallivanting through the North with Paul
My grandmother and I did this tour together and had the best time! Our guide, Paul, took us to all the major attractions up north and gave us great flexibility with time. We saw the dark hedges, crossed Carrick a rede bridge, visited Ballintoy, giants causeway, had lunch at the Causeway hotel, went to Bushmills distillery after and Dunluce castle. Paul gave us lots of choice whether we wanted to tour the distillery or just visit, and same with the castle. We opted against both because of time but it was nice to be given the option to explore more in depth if wanted! Having so much packed in one day should have felt overwhelming but everything was put together really well with the expertise of Paul and his knowledge of the area. He kept us well informed and got quite a few laughs out of us too. Thank you so much, Paul!!
Exceeded expectations!
Our full day private tour was remarkable, as was our guide, Paul. We saw it all & then some thanks to Paul! He even ordered up some excellent weather for us, as well. 😁 There's so much beauty throughout the Antrim coast and coupled with Paul's firsthand stories of the recent Belfast history truly made our day unforgettable. He even managed to find a way for my animal-loving neice to feed a cow. I can't recommend it enough to book a tour with Paul & Co. to experience it all in beautiful Northern Ireland!
Awesome private Coastal tour
Our tour guide Chris was delightful and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the places he took us and the views were breathtaking. We never felt rushed from one sight to the other like you would on a big bus tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a wonderful day in Northern Ireland.
Paul is an exceptional driver and guide
Having booked this tour via Viator, we were so happy with our day. Paul arrived a few minutes early and was incredibly knowledgeable, a safe driver and did everything we would have hoped for and more. We saw the Dark Hedges, Carrick-a-Rede, then the Giants Causeway. Before each, he told us about the site and relevant history, then gave us tips of how to get the best photos. We also had a whiskey tasting at Bush mills (the oldest licensed distillery in Ireland), the Dunluce castle and Magheracross view to the golf course where the British Open will be held in 2025. I can't say enough positive things about Paul's knowledge, professionalism and just a good guy.
Amazing tour with Chris
We had a terrific day with Chris as our guide on this amazing adventure! A prompt hotel pickup and on to The Dark Hedges, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Ballintoy Harbour, Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Magheracross and Old Bushmills Distillery…wow, what spectacular sights! Chris was so knowledgeable, obviously doing his research to ensure an in-depth understanding of all sites visited. We highly recommend this tour and our 5-star guide. One recommendation: Chris could use a mini-mic during the drive portion of the tour as at times road noise made it a bit difficult to hear his narrative - he has such wonderful information and interesting stories to impart, you don’t want to miss a word!
Paul was awesome! Highly recommend his tour!
Paul was a 10/10. We absolutely loved spending the day with Paul. He he took us all around Ireland and gave us the true history and experience of being Irish. We went to all the famous places plus more. We got epic pictures with great views and Paul also was a great photographer. He was funny and nice and really made our day worthwhile. We were with him for about nine hours and had the best time. Highly recommend!
