We went on the Giant's Causeway day tour with Troy as our guide. The itinerary was great but what made for a great day was our guide, Troy who was full of information and great jokes. Can't recommend... See more

No reply when asked for reimbursement

I bought a couple of tickets from City Tours Belfast. I wish I hadn’t. As my friend and I showed signs a flu, we decided it was best not to go. I kindly asked City Tours for a reimbursement. I perfectly understand this is not always possible. Having said that, I wish City Tours Belfast could at least answer the email I sent about it more than a week ago.

Avoid! Use the other operator instead or even public buses

When booking the tickets on their official website it clearly said that the bus operates every 30 minutes. I waited with all my family on a cold, windy day for 50 minutes and the bus never arrived. There is another, competitor service which arrived twice within that time! I called them twice and each time I've been told that the bus operates every 45 minutes (!) and it will arrive in the next 10 minutes and that there is traffic in the city causing delay. I finally gave up and took public bus - there was no traffic in the city whatsoever!
I called them and asked for refund. They ask to send an email. I sent two - one directly to their email account and another via website - no response.
For anyone planning a visit in Belfast I highly recommend public buses which are cheap, operate every few minutes and are very convenient and if you really prefer a tour bus then use the other provider, you can google it.

Avoid avoid avoid! Shady and negligent tour company!

Shady, dangerous tour company. Their tour bus broke down on the first stop of the "Game of Thrones" tour from Belfast and the A/C went out. The front office told the drive on speakerphone that they knew the bus wasn't fit to go out due to engine overheating, but they proceeded anyway. The driver said we had to stop or the engine could overheat/explode. They told us we would get switched to a new bus, but that never happened. We resumed driving in the same dangerous bus almost an hour and a half later, red lights on the dashboard and all. Because of their negligence, we missed almost half the stops on the tour. The tour guide, Moira, tried to deny that the A/C had broken while we were still on the bus with hot air pouring out of the vents! When I filed a complaint, they responded to the tour booking company that I was a no-show! This is a deceptive and shady company that should not be trusted. They do not own the buses they rent out and will not hesitate to send groups out on dangerous, cramped, unsafe coaches. I took pictures to show the lights on the dash, the license plate, and the driver/tour guide speaking outside the bus when it broke down from my seat.

Edit: The company has resorted to trying to discredit this on several sites, even with photo evidence. Look up Diamond Leisure Transport Ltd for pictures of the breakdown.
