2-Day Northern Ireland Tour from Dublin Including Belfast and Giants Causeway
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.
