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!!

Falls Road and Shankill Road
Belfast was the focal point of the violence that ran for generations in the north of Ireland, and the tour visits the places whose names carry that history. The main stop is the peaceline, a concrete wall 5.5 metres high between Falls Road and Shankill Road. Everyone on the tour can sign it, and your guide will take photographs beside the wall and the murals.
