Custom Tours Ireland
Create Your Custom Private Tour Across Ireland
Discover Ireland your way with a private, custom tour designed around what you want to see, how you like to travel, and the pace you enjoy. Giant Tours Ireland creates made-for-you itineraries with a friendly local guide leading the way, so you can relax and enjoy every day on the road.
Why a Custom Tour of Ireland Works Better for You
A custom private tour means you are not following someone else’s timetable. You choose what matters most, and we build the route, timing, and stops around that. Your guide, Flip, is a local from the Causeway Coast and a former Game of Thrones stand-in, so you can expect real stories, not a script.
You might want a trip that focuses on Game of Thrones filming locations one day, the Giant’s Causeway and coastal villages the next, then time in historic cities to round things off. You might prefer a slower pace with longer photo stops, or you may want to cover more ground over several days. A custom tour lets you decide.
Typical themes guests ask us to build into their Ireland itineraries include:
- Game of Thrones filming locations on the Causeway Coast and beyond
- Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge area, and coastal viewpoints
- Coastal towns and harbours, from Ballycastle to other characterful ports
- All-Ireland highlights between hubs like Belfast, Derry and further afield
- Golf-focused routes combined with sightseeing for players and non-players
You have a private vehicle, a guide who knows the local roads and rhythms, and the flexibility to adjust as you go, within reason, for weather and daylight.
What to Expect From Your Custom Ireland Tour
Every trip starts with a conversation. You share how long you have, where you are starting from, and what you are most excited to see or learn about. Many guests begin in Belfast, Derry or Ballycastle, and we can shape the route to loop back or finish in a different hub if that suits your onward plans.
From there we suggest a draft itinerary, with clear daily routes and key stops. This can range from a single long day taking in the Giant’s Causeway and several filming locations, to a multi-day circuit around Ireland that links dramatic coasts, quiet villages, and better-known landmarks. Once you are happy, we confirm the plan and you simply arrive ready to enjoy it.
On the road, you can expect clear, relaxed commentary about the places you visit. At the Giant’s Causeway, for example, you might hear how local geology and folklore intersect on the same stretch of stones. At a Game of Thrones location, you will hear how the scene was filmed, what it represented on screen, and how it felt to work on set as a stand-in.
Why Choose Giant Tours Ireland for Custom Tours
Giant Tours Ireland is a multi-award-winning private tour operator based on the Causeway Coast, with years of experience guiding small groups and private guests in this part of the world and across Ireland. Our focus has always been on smaller numbers and private groups, which means more time for questions, photos, and the stories that do not fit into a standard group script.
Being locally based, we know how the coastal weather can change, when a viewpoint is likely to be busy, and where to pause for a quieter walk or a good cup of tea between stops. For Game of Thrones fans, you travel with someone who has actually been on set, so the filming locations come alive in a different way.
We also care about travelling responsibly. That means respecting local communities, sticking to paths where required, and allowing enough time at each stop so you are not rushed. Your custom tour of Ireland should feel personal, relaxed, and informed, with a guide who treats the places you visit as home, not just a backdrop.
