Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
(Opcional para Recogida en Belfast - No disponible para Derry/Otra recogida) Realice un recorrido rápido por los aspectos más destacados de Belfast, incluido su majestuoso Ayuntamiento, la grandeza de Stormont Estate, el Barrio Universitario y la maravillosa historia marítima del Barrio Titanic.
NO SE OFRECE LOS LUNES. Uno de los castillos normandos intactos más antiguos y más grandes de Irlanda, se encuentra a orillas del lago Belfast desde 1177. Deténgase para tomar fotos de este majestuoso edificio. No disponible en reservas con salida de Derry/Londonderry.
Acérquese a uno de los pocos castillos irlandeses que aún viven en la misma familia durante cientos de años. Lamentablemente, como es una casa privada, no podemos visitarla, pero nuestro recorrido lo llevará de manera única a un punto panorámico increíble (según el vehículo) sobre Glenarm para ver esta obra maestra gótica en todo su esplendor y una parada en su increíble gran entrada. The Barbican (que aparece en la película Dungeons & Dragons 2023).
Una escala en Carnlough, y no en su biblioteca, lo recompensará con vistas de su hermoso puerto de piedra caliza, sus puentes ferroviarios, el hotel que una vez fue propiedad de la familia Churchill y, por supuesto, su primera ubicación de Game of Thrones de la gira. También puede tomar un café o un aperitivo en la tienda cercana.
DEPENDIENDO DE LAS CONDICIONES CLIMÁTICAS Y LA TEMPORADA. Viaje a través de la Reina de las Nueve Cañadas de Antrim, una inspiración para Narnia en las novelas de CS Lewis, y el hogar de las cascadas y los antiguos bosques de Glenariff Forest Park.
Antes de pasar por la encantadora Cushendall, hacemos una parada en Agnew's Field y nos maravillamos con la magnitud de Glenariff Glen y las ruinas del antiguo Redbay Castle. El pueblo en sí tiene en su corazón la 'Torre del toque de queda' y los magníficos murales que celebran el juego irlandés de Hurling. Descanso de confort disponible aquí.
OPCIONAL. Este bonito pueblo costero es un área de conservación propiedad del National Trust. Admira sus casas a medio construir de estilo escocés y la escultura de la cabra Johann y la historia de su trágico final.
ESTE VIAJE DEPENDE DEL CLIMA, LAS CONDICIONES DE LA CARRETERA Y EL TAMAÑO DEL VEHÍCULO. La ruta escénica de Torr Head se abre paso a través de los altos acantilados de la costa de Antrim, con impresionantes vistas al mar y la costa escocesa a solo 12 millas de distancia (si el clima lo permite). Admire las ensenadas de color verde intenso y las formaciones rocosas de otro mundo antes de llegar a la asombrosa bahía de Murlough, con su curioso vínculo con la historia irlandesa del siglo XX.
(Depende de la temporada y el clima) Se accede a esta increíble bahía por un camino estrecho que serpentea desde los acantilados de piedra caliza que se presentan como Stormlands en Game of Thrones, hasta la costa rocosa con sus características de piedra caliza y basalto, maltratadas durante todo el año por el océano Atlántico norte.
Nos detendremos en este célebre balneario para almorzar o cenar (según la temporada) en uno de los restaurantes locales galardonados con sus famosos platos de mariscos y su sopa de pescado de renombre mundial: Ballycastle es el primer lugar en enviar y recibir señales de radio inalámbricas por El equipo de Marconi: luego dirígete a lo largo de la costa hasta Kinbane. Las opciones de invierno difieren.
(Tiempo y clima permitidos) Las ruinas del castillo de Kinbane se asientan en un largo y estrecho promontorio de piedra caliza que se proyecta hacia el mar, con vistas a las agitadas aguas del estrecho de Moyle, la isla Rathlin y las islas escocesas. Maravíllate con la cascada y las cuevas marinas muy por debajo del camino costero.
Este viaje no incluye un cruce del puente de cuerda (c. 3 horas). En su lugar, veremos el puente de cuerda desde arriba desde el Mirador Portaneevy y disfrutaremos de una vista panorámica de la costa y de Escocia (si el clima lo permite).
Se informa a los visitantes que este sitio está extremadamente ocupado con congestión en las horas pico. Nos esforzaremos por llegar al sitio en momentos más tranquilos para mejorar su disfrute. Por favor, avísenos con anticipación si tiene problemas de movilidad. La Calzada del Gigante es la atracción natural más visitada de Irlanda y es el único Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO en Irlanda del Norte. Con su asombrosa colección de más de 40 000 columnas de basalto, es una de las maravillas naturales imperdibles de esta espectacular costa, si no del mundo, pero háganos saber su opinión.
DEPENDIENDO DEL TIEMPO Y DEL CLIMA. Con casi 250 años de construcción, la ubicación en lo alto de un acantilado del castillo de Dunluce ha atraído a artistas y fotógrafos durante años. Una de las ruinas de castillos más impresionantes de Irlanda, esta parada atraerá a tu artista interior. Permita al menos 10 minutos para disfrutar de este increíble testimonio de la empresa de los irlandeses, 600 años después de que comenzara la construcción. ENTRADA AL CASTILLO NO INCLUIDA EN ESTA PARADA.

AVOID AVOID AVOID My wife and I booked a tour of Northern Ireland after docking in Belfast on a cruise, expecting a professional and enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, it quickly turned into a complete disaster. About an hour into the tour, we were stopped by law enforcement officers and informed that the driver, Fergal, was operating illegally and that his so-called "luxury vehicle" was also not legally compliant. This was incredibly embarrassing, stressful, and completely ruined what should have been a memorable day. To make matters worse, we were forced to abandon the tour and arrange alternative transport. We were placed in a local taxi to continue our sightseeing and had to pay for the tour again out of our own pocket. The biggest shock came when we discovered that using a local taxi for the same itinerary was approximately $500 cheaper than the tour we had originally booked. No visitor should have to endure the experience we went through. We felt misled, overcharged, and extremely disappointed. I would strongly advise others to avoid booking with this operator and to consider local taxi services instead. Don't be conned into paying premium prices for a service that may not even be operating legally.
Our guide Fergal took us on a wonderful personalized tour of Northern Ireland. He took us to all the highlights and added additional locations based on our preferences. He is highly knowledgeable and gave us a lot of background on the places we visited. We would highly recommend him and this tour
Hello again Irma and Steve and thank you so much for these lovely words about our day together exploring the highlights of Northern Ireland. It was my great pleasure to show you all that is special about this place that I call home and it was lovely to witness your response to the many amazing locations we visited. It was a long day and hopefully when you go back to your ship, you had a good restful night. I also hope that your other Irish shore excursions were equally rewarding. Hopefully you will make it back this way soon to continue the adventure!
What a great trip! The driver did a great job showing the country side and stopping at multiple castles and tailored our trip to what we wanted to experience.
Hi again Marco and Melissa and than you for this lovely review and for being such wonderful company. Thank you also for the delicious lunch and for your generosity at the end of our day. Best of luck with all your future adventures! Go Raibh Maith Agat!
Fergel was knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. We had the best time. He was able to show us everything we were looking for. Great conversation and just a blast all the way around. 100% recommend and will definitely hire him again when we come back. He made the trip very memorable.
Hello again my lovely friends and thank you so much for your wonderful review of our day together in March. I always love the days out when we do things backwards and that you enjoyed your Bushmills Distillery visit and didn’t fall over later at the Giant’s Causeway. Glad that you had a great trip out with me and I do look forward to seeing you both back my way soon.
Incredible scenery, and our host Fergal was an expert in his field and enjoyable to be with. We weren’t expecting a private tour in a gorgeous jaguar sedan so that was a bonus and Fergal had that car hugging every turn on the narrow and windy backroads. He also made great use of the shorter daylight time. This trip was beyond our expectations and couldn’t have been any better. The host/guide/driver is outstanding, the scenery is one beautiful scene after another, and the route was well planned and full of history. I especially liked that Fergal spoke just the right amount of the time and was very perceptive in knowing when and what to say. He reads his audience well.
Hello again Michele and Abby and my huge thanks for this wonderful review of our day together in deepest darkest Ireland in November. It is wonderful to hear that Ireland, and those of us who call her home, can deliver such a great experience even when the days are short and the weather unpredictable. Yet our autumn and winter can often deliver the best of the Emerald Isle. Thank you for your wonderful company, for the awe that you both showed at every turn in the road and for every lovely word about your time with me as your guide. Go Raibh Maith Agat.
My full-day Northern highlights guided tour with host Fergal was truly an experience I will never forget. I so enjoyed the sights, the beauty of Northern Ireland, the small towns, the wonderful stories that Fergal told, the coastal areas and seas, the castles, waterfalls, history of this great place and more. Fergal is a wonderful guide, full of knowledge of his beloved home country. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him, learning about Northern Ireland in a peaceful manner, visiting places that many large buses cannot go. I highly recommend Fergal's tour. It is well worth it! Thank you, Fergal, for a great day!
Hi there Amy and hope all is well in your lovely world back in the USA. Thank you my amazing friend for this lovely and touching review of our day together along the jewel that is the Antrim Coast and Glens. Shorter days and unpredictable weather, to include what you lovingly called our Irish 'hurricane' was never going to be a deterrent to a wonderful experience. And by God you made it wonderful for me as your host. As a solo traveler, it was my pleasure to make this private tour accessible for you and to ensure that you had an unforgettable day. Hopefully we can meet again to continue the journey. Go Raibh Maith Agat!
If you want to avoid the crowd and experience the coastal route scenery, this is very much recommended. At your leisure and a good time spend learning the history and geography with Fergal. An obvious comparison would be with the 'Bus Tours' to Giant Causeway and Game of thrones route. I understand that there will be quite a bit of walking involved with the Bus tours as drop off points are not always closer to the point of interest. regarding this tour, I must say that the route taken is not same as the bus route, and hence do your (re)search and choose which sites you would prefer to visit.
Hi there Gladstone and thank you so much for these wonderful words of our day together. I don't offer tours related to Game of Thrones so I cannot possibly comment on the alternatives that you describe here. Nonetheless, it was a pleasure to offer you a day well spent on your business trip to Belfast with your partner and that you had a great time. With my warmest regards and safe onward journey my friend.
Fergal was an excellent tour guide. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. He stopped at the best sights and added a stop that was special for me. It was a wonderful way to spend the day. We had sunshine all day.
Thank you so much for your amazing review of our day together Heidi and Jill and for being so kind on my first trip after my illness. You were amazing fun and I do hope you find time to enjoy the very best of my beloved Emerald Isle. See you soon!
Fergal is a wealth of knowledge of northern Ireland. We had a delightful day in his company as he tour us around Belfast, Giants Causeway and other northern Ireland highlights. I highly recommend his tour!
Thank you so much my friends and for putting up with my flu like symptoms on the day. It was amazing to host you both and I look forward to hosting you again my lovely friends.
Fergal is happy to go at your pace and take you anywhere along the route you’d like to stop. We saw all of the North that we wanted to see and had a lovely dinner along the way. Great excursion and we would recommend it!
Apologies my friends and thank you so much for these amazing words. It was a joy to share my part of Ireland with you and I am looking forward to hearing from you and hosting you again soon!
