What travellers saidabout our tours
We had a fantastic day on our bus trip to the Cliffs of Moher. Casper was an amazing driver along the narrow roads we went on. Dave was an incredible guide. The knowledge, history and stories he shared with us were amazing! He even had a wonderful soundtrack to accompany his stories and information he shared with us. He was genuine, funny, personable and a delight to share the day alongside. Everything went smoothly and our day was one we will remember for many years to come. We highly recommend this tour!!

A sample day, not a fixed one
What follows is a sample. Tell us your group size, your dates and how long you have, and we will build the day around it. Ireland is compact enough that Belfast works as a day trip from Dublin, and the Giant's Causeway can be added without making the day feel rushed.

Through the Boyne Valley
The road north runs through the Boyne Valley in Meath. Your driver guide covers the history of the area, including the Battle of the Boyne and the mark it left on Irish politics for centuries afterwards. Newgrange passage tomb sits in the same valley, older than the pyramids.

Belfast city and the Titanic Experience
Belfast was the only city in Ireland to go through Britain's 19th century Industrial Revolution, and it still reads differently to Dublin. From here you can take a tour or explore the city at your own pace. The Titanic Experience sits in the Titanic Quarter, on one of Europe's largest urban waterfront regeneration projects, with nine interpretive galleries, full-scale reproductions, an underwater theatre and the recreated decks and cabins of the White Star liner.

SS Nomadic at Hamilton Dock
The SS Nomadic is the tender that carried first and second class passengers out to Titanic from Cherbourg, and she served in both World Wars. She is the last White Star Line ship left in the world, restored and back at Hamilton Dock in the Titanic Quarter. On board there are interactive displays, live storytelling, photographs and period costumes you can put on.

Black taxi tour and the Peace Wall
A local driver takes you to both sides of the community and explains what Belfast was like during the Troubles, including the murals and how people got through it. The same tour can be done on foot if you would rather walk. Along Falls Road and Shankill Road stands the peaceline, a concrete wall 5.5 metres (17.6 ft) high, where you can sign your name and have your photograph taken by the murals.

Giant's Causeway
The Causeway is the most visited natural site in the north of the island, and it can be added to your day if you want it. The columns formed more than 60 million years ago after a series of volcanic eruptions, and UNESCO lists the site as world heritage. Your driver will tell you the Irish myth the place is named after on the way up.
