4.3-Day Northern Ireland Tour from Dublin: Giant’s Causeway & Titanic Experience

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 20 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $475

Review this 3-day Dublin tour to Belfast, Giant’s Causeway, Derry, Galway, Titanic Belfast, and Northern Ireland’s dramatic coast.

“We had been in the Republic of Ireland before, but wanted to experience northern Ireland. Many in our group did not realize they are two different countries so it was good for them to learn. Also, many did not really understand Ireland's history known as the "Troubles" and so that was good for people to understand and see the key locations. We could have stayed at the Giant's Causeway all day. It's massive, epic and has hiking trails we didn't have time to climb. The stops in Belfast, Derry and Galway were short, but provided a broader perspective.”
