  • Depart Dublin (07.00 - 07:30 start is recommended)

    Your driver will collect you this morning from the entrance of your accommodation. We recommend getting on the road early so as to maximise your private tour experience in Northern Ireland.

    Departing at 07:00, 07:15 or 07:30 will allow your driver to keep you one step ahead of the coach groups at the major stops and get onto the M1 Dublin to Belfast motorway ahead of the heavy goods traffic coming into Dublin Port from the UK and EU.

  • UNESCO Giant’s Causeway

    The best way to approach this itinerary is to head straight for Giant’s Causeway. Naturally, there will be time for a short refreshment stop at a service station en- route before arriving on the north Antrim coast around 3.5 - 4 hours after departure.

    Enjoy approximately 1.5 - 2 hours at this morning’s highlight, a UNESCO World Heritage site formed of 40,000+ columns of hexagonal basalt in spectacular formations. You’ll learn about the science behind this volcanic phenomenon and also the ancient Celtic legend which says that mythological giants built this path or “causeway” to allow them to cross the ocean to Scotland just across the bay.

    Notes:

    Our Concierge staff will take care of your entrances, parking and during high- peak times arrange for expedited access - essential on days where some of the world's largest cruise ships are docked at the deep water ports of Belfast and Dublin.

    Lunch:

    Depending on the season / group interests on the day / start time of the tour, lunch (approx 60 minutes) will either be enjoyed at Giant’s Causeway or somewhere not too far away. The drivers are well placed to recommend good local pubs etc for a delicious quick lunch, away from the crowds wherever possible!

  • Giant’s Causeway to Belfast

    The onward journey will take approximately 90 minutes depending on weather conditions, traffic and vehicle size (vehicles 7 seats and larger are subject to 120km speed limit). Sit back and enjoy the northern Irish scenery.

  • Belfast

    Due to limitations of what is possible in one day from Dublin you’ll have approximately 90 minutes in Belfast.

    Choose between one of the following options;

    1. Titanic Belfast - Northern Ireland’s premier visitor attraction, this state of the art visitor center is located on the very dockside where Titanic was built and launched in 1912. Virtual reality and museum artifacts take you through the building, sailing and sinking of this infamous ship. 
    2. Black Taxi Tour - a fascinating glimpse into Belfast’s troubled modern history. A local taxi driver will take you through central / suburban Belfast and explain what life was like during the 70s, 80s and 90s, when a war of attrition was fought in broad daylight on the city’s streets between the British security forces, British loyalist paramilitaries and the Provisional IRA.

    Notes:

    There will only be time for one of the above experiences and we will need to have your preference at time of booking - advance arrangements are required and cannot be left until you are on tour. Please see the “entrance fees” and “guest advice” section for important related information.

  • Return to Dublin

    Your driver will collect you after your experience and together you’ll head straight back to Dublin. Arrive in downtown Dublin approximately 12 hours after departure.

    All timings are approximate and cannot be guaranteed due to weather, traffic and occasionally security diversions in Northern Ireland.

Update: Friday 24th October 2025

Ireland is currently at full employment. Many drivers exited the hospitality industry during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (as hospitality was shut for two years) and there is currently a relative shortage of the very best talent.

With recent fluctuations in the US dollar's strength against the euro, and potential impacts from upcoming tariffs, we are observing increased demand from our key markets in the US, UK, EU, and Arabian Gulf. As availability for the upcoming period becomes limited, we anticipate that rates will rise accordingly in line with demand.

Accordingly, we encourage guests to secure preferred dates for the coming season as early as possible.

Ticket

You will receive your ticket (featuring your booking number) via email immediately at time of booking. There is no need to print the ticket. If you wish, you can simply show it on your phone or tablet.

Pre- booking essential (billed at time of booking):

(UNESCO) Giant's Causeway
Guaranteed Entry / Skip the Line tickets for the Giants Causeway can be secured in advance for GBP 17.00 / EUR 20.50 per person.

Titanic Belfast
Guaranteed / Skip the Line entrance fees can be added for GBP 24.95 / EUR 30.00 per adult.

Pay at the gate (not included):

Black Taxi Tour
The Black Taxi tour of Belfast (60 minutes approx) is priced from GBP 25.00 (EUR 30.00) per person (depending on group size). The rate for 1- 2 passengers from approximately GBP 50.00 - 60.00 / 60 minutes depending on the season, day and supply etc. We would need to make arrangements on your behalf at time of booking and you pay the driver directly in GBP cash on the day. Credit cards are not typically accepted by drivers. We do not accept payment for this service in advance.

4 out of 5 guests will typically opt for Option A. Option A is considered the "classic" Giant's Causeway route which has proven most popular over the last decade. Option B is still an excellent tour but just gives a taste of Belfast to those who particularly wish to see it or say they've been there. Unfortunately, it is not possible to spend more time in Belfast when paired with Giants Causeway.

This route is at the maximum of what is legally possible in a day. There is no wiggle room for customisation of this route.

If you would like to tour the political “flashpoint” republican / loyalist areas of Belfast (famous murals and security fences etc) we’ll need to arrange a local Black Taxi tour. Your private driver will not enter these areas. This is part of the legacy of the recent political conflict.

This route is priced slightly higher than Option A. If you book Option A and wish to subsequently change to Option B any supplement will need to be settled by secure payment link before departure (within normal hours of business). During busy periods, changes to day tour routes may not be possible where requested less than 48 hours before departure.
