Itinerary

Admission not included5 min

Perched dramatically on a basalt outcrop along the north coast of Antrim, Dunluce Castle was once the seat of the MacDonnell clan and has stood as a striking coastal fortress since the 13th century. With a rich history shaped by Viking, medieval, and later influences, the castle remains one of the most iconic landmarks on the Antrim Coast. Its rugged setting overlooking the North Atlantic has made it famous not only in Irish history but also in popular culture, featuring in Game of Thrones as Pyke and inspiring C.S. Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia. Please note: this is a photo stop only. There is no entry to the castle included, but there will be time to take photos and enjoy the views.

90 min

Discover one of Ireland’s most unforgettable natural wonders at the breathtaking Giant’s Causeway. Step out onto a landscape like no other, where over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns stretch out into the Atlantic Ocean. Most of these unique formations are hexagonal, creating what looks like a giant stone pathway leading straight across the sea. According to legend, this was the work of the Irish giant Finn McCool, who built the causeway to cross to Scotland and face his rival in battle. Whether you believe , the reality is just as impressive. Formed over 60 million years ago by volcanic activity, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a masterpiece of nature and one of the most photographed locations in Ireland. Walk across the famous stones, explore the surrounding cliffs, and soak in the raw beauty of the North Atlantic coastline. The Giant’s Causeway is a true highlight of any trip to Northern Ireland. It’s a must-see experience that stays with you long after you leave.

20 min

The Dark Hedges is one of the most photographed and iconic locations in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world. This stunning avenue of beech trees was planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to create an impressive entrance to Gracehill House. Over time, the trees have grown to arch over the road, forming a natural tunnel with twisting branches and shifting light that creates a truly atmospheric setting. Famous for its appearance in Game of Thrones as the King’s Road, and also featured in Transformers: The Last Knight, the Dark Hedges is a must-see for fans of film and photography alike. With its haunting beauty and legendary tales of the mysterious “Grey Lady,” this unique location offers the perfect opportunity for a short walk and unforgettable photos along one of Ireland’s most magical roads.

60 min

Belfast; The Capital City of Northern Ireland. Once called ‘Linenopolis’ & ‘Old Smoke’ for it’s important place in the history of industry in this part of the world.

You can explore City Hall, spot the Lantern on top of its 173 ft (53 m) dome and hear how it was rebuilt after the Belfast Blitz during the Second World War. Belfast is a city of convergence where all the myriad of Ireland can be found. It is unlike any other city on the island, a unique place to explore and experience. From Shipbuilding to the difficult history of The Trouble’s there is so much history to be found here in stone, iron but also in the people who live there.

I experienced a very nice tour with the guider Quiggs Marcin. He provided very friendly and thoughtful advices during the trip. Meanwhile, he is also introduced lots of relevant background information on history, religion and culture. He also played classical Irish instruments to demonstrate the traditional rhythm of the country. Nice tour and nice guy, worth to be here today!

Quigg’s and Marcim were amazing!

Basically what the title says! Quiggs was an amazing and so knowledgeable tour guide! He was very funny and so knowledgeable about the history of Ireland and Irish culture. I was shocked he wasn’t a professor with the amount of knowledge that he had. I also appreciated that he wanted people to be back in time so that the tour was efficient and made things so much easier. I’m truly grateful that he was our tour guide with Marcel being an equally amazing safe driver. 100% recommend!

This was an awesome tour! Our guide, Jacob, was super knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about the topics he shared with us. As someone who loves history, I appreciated his insight and local color. Our driver, Anil, was very professional. I was surprised by how much we were able to pack into 13 hours.
