Adrian was such a great guy. Gave us a brief tour around Dublin, he didn’t only take us to the locations but also gave us a history class about Ireland and the conflict with its Northern Territory. Consider yourself lucky if you have Adrian on your bus!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Full description

Take a full-day excursion from Dublin to the Giant's Causeway and the Dark of Hedges to discover the magnificent grandeur of Northern Ireland's coastline.

Take a bus to Northern Ireland and experience the enchantment of the Dark Hedges, a graceful avenue lined with beech trees that will take your mind to another place. These trees, which are immortalised in Game of Thrones as the Kings Road, create breathtaking natural tunnels that make for an amazing experience.

Don't pass up the opportunity to use your camera to record this unspoiled beauty.

You will see the wonders of the magnificent Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Imagine an incredible natural environment formed by more than 40,000 stair-shaped rocks that fall towards the sea. With its breathtaking treks, it's the fourth natural wonder of the nation. You will be enthralled with the stories that surround these rocks.

On the way back to Dublin, we will make a stop in Belfast, where you'll have the opportunity to explore the city at your own pace. You can visit the iconic City Hall and stroll through the vibrant streets.
