Discover the very best of Northern Ireland on this full-day private tour combining Belfast’s fascinating history with the spectacular scenery of the Causeway Coast.
Your day begins in Belfast with a private Black Taxi-style tour exploring the city’s divided past and its remarkable transformation.
Travel through the Falls and Shankill areas, traditionally associated with Belfast’s Catholic/Nationalist and Protestant/Unionist communities, and see the murals, peace walls and neighbourhoods that tell the storey of the city’s troubled past. Your local guide will explain the history behind the divisions, the impact of the Troubles and some of the more recent issues that have shaped Belfast – bringing the city’s history to life through the places where it happened.
Along the way, you’ll also see some of Belfast’s best-known landmarks, including Belfast City Hall, Belfast Castle and the Titanic Quarter.
Leaving Belfast behind, travel north towards the Causeway Coast, enjoying spectacular coastal scenery and viewpoints along one of Ireland’s most scenic routes. Stop for photos at the dramatic ruins of Dunluce Castle before continuing to the world-famous Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Here you’ll have plenty of time to explore the famous hexagonal basalt columns, take in the spectacular coastline and hear the stories behind both the fascinating geology and the legendary tale of Finn McCool.
As this is a private and flexible tour, the day can be adapted to suit your interests. You’ll have time for a refreshment stop at a local café or pub, and after the Giant’s Causeway you can choose how to spend your remaining time.
Continue along the stunning Glens of Antrim for more scenery and coastal viewpoints, visit the famous Dark Hedges if you’re a Game of Thrones fan, or, for golf enthusiasts, enjoy a viewpoint over Royal Portrush Golf Club and the opportunity to visit the professional shop at one of the world’s most famous links courses.
Throughout the day, travel in comfort with your knowledgeable local guide and enjoy the freedom to stop for photos, ask questions and spend more time at the places that interest you most.
Combining Belfast’s complex history with the natural beauty of the Causeway Coast, this private tour offers a great introduction to Northern Ireland in a single day – with the flexibility to make it your own.
