Journey through Northern Ireland’s most iconic landscapes and historic sites on this private full‑day tour. Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Giant’s Causeway, explore the ancient walls of Derry/Londonderry, and enjoy the seaside charm of Portrush.
At the start of your day, your driver will pick you up from your accommodation, bus/rail station, airport, or cruise ship terminal in Belfast.
We’ll begin with a drive to the Walled City of Derry, one of Europe’s best‑preserved walled cities. Step back in time as you walk the 17th‑century city walls, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the city’s fascinating history. Learn about Derry’s rich past, from its medieval origins to its role in more recent events, as we visit key landmarks such as the Guildhall, Peace Bridge, and the historic Bogside murals.
Optional Extra: For those who want a deeper insight, we highly recommend joining a guided walking tour of the city (£6 per person). It’s a fantastic way to get a detailed overview of Derry in a short time. Fans of Derry Girls may also enjoy visiting the Derry Girls exhibition at the Tower Museum, which celebrates the hit show and its cultural impact.
Leaving Derry behind, we’ll head to the lively seaside town of Portrush. This stop offers the perfect chance to relax and soak up the local atmosphere. Stroll along golden beaches, pop into welcoming cafés and traditional pubs, or browse independent shops. Portrush is also home to the world‑famous Royal Portrush Golf Club, host of The Open.
From Portrush, we’ll continue along the stunning Causeway Coastal Route, one of the world’s most picturesque drives, before arriving at the Giant’s Causeway. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Causeway is renowned for its unique hexagonal basalt columns formed by volcanic activity over 60 million years ago. Walk among the legendary stones, hear tales of the mythical giant Finn McCool, and soak in the awe‑inspiring coastal scenery.
If time allows, we may also make quick stops at the viewpoint for the Carrick‑a‑Rede Rope Bridge and/or The Dark Hedges, famous for their role as the Kingsroad in Game of Thrones, before returning to Belfast, where your driver will drop you off at the location of your choice.
With the comfort of private transport and a knowledgeable guide to bring the stories to life, this tour is the perfect blend of natural wonder, history, and seaside charm.
