Overview
The North of Ireland is now a must-see for any traveler arriving in Ireland.
This tour enables you to focus on Northern Ireland, the little corner of our motherland so present in world headlines since 1969 but now experiencing a new dawn after an end to the 30 years of political-violence. Included is the Titanic Experience Visitor Center.
Be introduced you to local guides and the fun-loving characters and customs of both the Ulster-Irish and Ulster-British communities.
The overnight stay will be some of the great memories of your travels. Downtown Belfast is amazing, and the glorious glens of Antrim are an absolute Irish paradise with Scotland in full view 12 miles away.
Visit to the set of the hugely popular TV series Game of Thrones where you will see the Dark Hedges and Ballintoy harbor.

With plenty of free time in Belfast city, we recommend the optional (£10) Black Taxi Tour which will take you on a political and historical journey of the city. You will visit the Falls and Shankill Roads, murals and the peace wall, learn the city's troubled history and how Belfast overcame the troubles. This tour comes highly recommended by Lonely Planet. Use the free time to enjoy lunch and shopping in Belfast bustling downtown area. Excellent shopping opportunities as the prices are much lower than Dublin! We also recommend a visit to the Crown Liquor Saloon, Grand Opera House, Botanical Gardens, City Hall, Queen's University, and Belfast's own leaning tower - Albert Clock.

Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre
Since the 18th century The Giant's Causeway has often been described as 'The Eighth Wonder Of The World' and once you have visited the site you will quickly see why. The area consists of an estimated 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns, which were formed during a volcano eruption 60 million years ago. This is one of the great natural attractions of the world and many believe the Causeway was built by a giant Finn McCool. A brand new ultra-modern visitor center has opened and we include the entrance (worth £9). Visit to the center offers you their unique audio guides with earphones which tells the story of the rock formations as you stand on them.

After a magical site like the Giant's Causeway it is hard to believe you can see something as exciting, however we will prove you wrong.
