Meet Your Guide

Hello, I'm Donna

Your local Level 3 driver-guide, and your host on the Causeway Coast.

A little about me

I'm Donna McCloy, a Level 3 driver-guide based in Ballymoney, County Antrim. I grew up in the countryside outside Belfast and love sharing Northern Ireland's coastal scenery, local stories and hidden gems.

I'm a member of Tour Guides NI. Before guiding, I travelled internationally as an Irish international lawn bowler, so I know what it's like to be a visitor somewhere new — and how much a warm, knowledgeable local can add to a day. When I'm not guiding, I enjoy travel, the outdoors and Northern Ireland's beaches.

My smaller vehicle means your tour is genuinely private and personal. It also lets me reach viewpoints and hidden gems that the larger coaches simply can't get to. You'll travel with just your party, at your pace, with the stories behind every stop.
