Full description
Tour the coastline of Northern Ireland on a day trip from Dublin in a comfortable bus. Visit iconic sights, including the Giant's Causeway, the Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle, and Belfast. Depart Dublin and travel North, stopping at a service station along the way for breakfast, to buy lunch, and to stretch your legs. Your first attraction is to take a 5-minute photo stop at the famous and picturesque ruins of Dunluce Castle. Afterward, head to the Giant's Causeway, formed from about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns. Enjoy at least 2 hours at the UNESCO World Heritage Site and get up close to the hexagonal columns, often referred to as the "8th Wonder of the World." Take in the fantastic views of the Irish Sea and then spend around 20 minutes traveling along the avenue of intertwined beech trees known as "Dark Hedges." Planted in the 18th-century by the Stuart family, the beautiful sight was used in the Game of Thrones series and the Transformers movie. Lastly, head to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland and the birthplace of the Titanic ocean liner. Stop next to Belfast City Hall and spend approximately 1.5 hours exploring the city. Do some sightseeing, shopping, and grab some food before continuing the journey home.

This tour was amazing! The time given at each stop was absolutely adequate. We did not feel rushed at anytime during the tour. Our driver, Fred, was just amazing. He managed some maneuvers I couldn't have done with a Mini. Jokes aside, he managed to quickly move us between our stops without feeling dangerous. But what made this tour a once in a lifetime experience for us was our guide, Quiyys. His deep interest and love towards Irish history, culture and language transformed this tour from an opportunity to see interesting places, to a full fledged, day long cultural and historical experience, amplified with good sights. He shared his vast knowledge about Irish history, mythology and culture in the most beautiful ways possible. I would join a tour about anything if it is guided by Quiyys, and I'm sure I would enjoy it. We had a very good weather though, so that might have made the experience better for me, personally. Nevertheless, one of the best tours I have ever been on.

Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable, personable, and time efficient. The day was very well organized the personal touches such as a video on the history of Ireland was very intriguing. Mario, the driver was a pleasant accompaniment to the guide. I would highly recommend this tour as it peaks many interests and lots to see in one day.

My son and I had a wonderful trip. I would just suggest skipping the Dark Hedges - not very dark? We didn't watch the show/read the book! Also, I didn't know about the Titanic option ahead of time. Seemed like that part of the trip wasn't explained very well in advance. Otherwise, our guide was fantastic. Bus was comfy. Loved the scenery.
