Belfast City & Giant's Causeway Tour

Discover Northern Ireland on a Day Tour

On arrival in Northern Ireland’s capital, you can choose between two amazing activities - the world-famous Belfast Black Taxi Tour where you will hear of Belfast’s fascinating history in a black taxi, or you can visit the state of the art World’s Leading visitor attraction– the Titanic Belfast Visitor Experience, located close to the heart of this beautiful city.

Black Taxi Tour

Visit and sign the Peace Line and join the list of world celebrities including Bill Clinton and the Dalai Lama who have signed their name to the wall. Walk along this huge wall which divides the two religious/national communities of east Belfast. The political murals, some of which are the most spectacular in the world, reflect a harrowing and tragic chapter in the history of Northern Ireland. Your personal local guide will relate to you their personal and family experiences of life in Belfast during The Troubles, some of the stories you quite simply won’t believe.

Titantic Belfast Visitor Experience

Your alternative to a Black Taxi Tour is to visit the Belfast Titanic quarter and the state of the art Titanic Visitor Experience. Here you can experience the entire life and story of the Titanic, from her fateful maiden voyage to her eventful discovery on the seabed of the North Atlantic. Learn about the origins, construction, launch and history of the Titanic. The experience contains interactive features so you can truly explore the Titanic story in an insightful light. The journey will take you beyond the aftermath of the sinking to the later discovery of the ship. This tour will also take you to the present day with a tour of the live undersea exploration centre.

(Parties / groups / families are very welcome to split up and choose separate activities) The tour will regroup before departing for the Giant’s Causeway.

Flanked by the wild North Atlantic Ocean and a landscape of dramatic cliffs, the Giant's Causeway is Northern Ireland's first UNESCO Heritage Site.

The 40,000 basalt stone columns left by volcanic eruptions 60 million years ago, has captured the imagination of all who see it.
