What To Expect

Your full-day tour of Northern Ireland’s major sights starts with early-morning pickup in central Dublin.

An iconic black cab awaits you in Northern Ireland’s beautiful and historic capital of Belfast. This tour gives you a safe and sensitive account of the city, most well known for its history of political and religious unrest. Explore Belfast’s Falls and Shankill neighborhoods, where hundreds of ornate murals impart Unionist and Nationalist political messaging. Learn of the city’s industrial roots, its divisive conflict and its current youthful revival.

If the sentiment takes you, feel free to request a stop at other notable sites like the Peace Wall, where you can add your name to those of other peacemakers who have touched this monumental city.

The next leg of your journey is the grand Antrim Coastal Drive, taking you along Ireland’s wild, rocky north coast for dramatic sea views and the fairy-tale glens of Antrim. Speaking of drama, stop at Dunluce Castle, a medieval construction that’s enjoying a second life is as the House of Greyjoy in the award-winning TV series "Game of Thrones."

The 2-hour drive brings you to the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Giant’s Causeway. Stretch your legs and enjoy a meander through this geological wonder that has been the source of many Irish myths. Then, get cozy in your coach seat for the return ride back to central Dublin.

Fantastic Tour

Misty_S, Jan 2025

The tour guide and driver were awesome! Belfast was interesting for the history, the castle was fantastic, and Giant’s Causeway was beautiful!! All around a great way to see many things in a short time, learn things, and someone else drives!! Loved it!

Excellent day of touring

Michael_A, Jan 2025

This is an absolutely wonderful day trip. Ùna our guide was great — on the ride back she offered tips for Dublin City. Warren the driver was skilled and cautious. Giants Causeway and the Dunluce castle are great. We had a delicious meal at The Nook. Kieran our black taxi driver in Belfast is absolutely bad ass. He’s the man!

Educational and Beautiful Trip to Northern Ireland

Eleanor_H, Jan 2025

Our guides (Elisa and Keith) were wonderful! The tour was super educational, and we got to see some amazing areas in Northern Ireland.

Take the tour with Murphy and Marco

Nydia_R, Jan 2025

We had a great time on this tour. Murphy was very informative and approachable if we had any questions. He also has a great singing voice. Marco, the driver was friendly and got us there and back safely thru snow, rain and traffic.

The best

Perfect Northern Ireland Tour

Cindy_D, Jan 2025

We were only in Ireland for a few days and we packed in a ton - this tour was a perfect way to see Northern Ireland in a day. We learned so much from our Black Cab driver - Pat with the Hat! He was an awesome tour guide and really helped explain the history of The Troubles. We had an absolutely beautiful sunny day at the castle and the Giant’s Causeway. It was absolutely worth the drive and had a great day!

Well worth it

Jeff_S, Dec 2024

Great experience. Brendon and Pudge made a great team. The black cab tour is very powerful and would recommend over the Titanic tour.

Best day!

Tessa_F, Dec 2024

This was the best day! The tour is really well organized and we saw such wonderful sites with adequate amount of time at each. We loved the ability to have free time and I just can’t recommend this enough. A super stress free and easy way to see some of the most beautiful landscapes and Belfast was such a wonderful city. Our guide Brundan and driver Podg made the day even better. Brundan is hilarious and a great guide who gave us so much interesting historical tidbits along the way.

It’s magic...

Deborah_S, Dec 2024

Great tour. Dave(guide) and Podge (driver) were excellent. Dave particularly shared a LOT of history that I hope people on the tour listened to and understood. The Black Cab tour in Belfast is not to be missed.

Cody_D, Dec 2024

Great guide, driver and tours! Would recommend to anyone! Very extensive knowledge from all staff and views were amazing

It's true! The Irish are fantastic story tellers.

TraceyMorgado, Dec 2024

Be prepared for any type of weather! Besides the cold and rain, which was expected, it was an amazing tour. An unexpected surprise (probably because I did not read the description well enough) was admittance to the Titanic Museum, which was amazing. Not to mention warm and dry. The other sites along the trip were well thought out, informative the hosts were quite friendly. David should truly narrate audio books. He's got a a real knack for making you prick up your ears!

Worth it!

Hannah_L, Dec 2024

We had a great experience learning about Irish history during the black cab tour portion, as well as on the bus ride to and from Belfast. The Giants Causeway was awesome to see. We unfortunately picked the windiest day to go making things a bit more of a safety concern but our tour guides Steven and Daithi (Dah-hee) made the experience so special. They really went above and beyond to ensure we got the full experience whilst making sure it was still safe. If you have an appreciation for history, humor, and natural geologic formations I highly recommend this tour.

Caleb_D, Dec 2024

Marko and Kevin were amazing! The day trip was very smooth and the sights were incredible. Would do again!

Definitely Do It

LeRyan_L, Dec 2024

Daithi and Michael were great! We did the black cab tour once we got to Belfast which was educational and inspirational. The castle and Causeway were also fabulous. A long day didn’t feel so long with the adventures.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Wow thats fantastic to read, so glad you enjoyed the day out with us. Kind regards, Jacqueline

Dave & Darren, unbeatable duo

Maliu_N, Dec 2024

Dave & Darren were the most memorable part of the trip. Their love for Ireland & their ease with a quip & a story made this our most unforgettable tour.
