The North is quickly becoming a must-see for any traveller arriving in Ireland. This tour enables you to focus on Northern Ireland, the little corner of our Motherland so ever present in World Headlines since 1969 but now experiencing a new dawn. We introduce you to local guides and characters and customs of both the Ulster Irish and Ulster British communities.
Our overnight stays 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 Bonnie Scotland in full view 12 miles away. We bravely cross the famous Rope Bridge and see the eighth wonder of the world, the Giants
Causeway, before storming formidable Dunluce Castle. Absolutely fantastic photography awaits you on your walking tour of Derry, city walls and scene of ‘Bloody Sunday’ in 1972.
Be seduced by the charm and atmosphere of Derry on our overnight stay! With breathtaking scenery, genuine and warm locals, unspoiled landscapes and a living history, ‘Norn Iron’ is a real travellers paradise.
