It is a beautiful coast line and you will enjoy stories from our history and culture.
Private tour by car with a qualified guide who will introduce you to the history and culture of Northern Ireland and we can divert to visit less well knows sites of special interest to you.
Pick up at your Cruise Ship or Hotel/Rail in Belfast we drive along the Antrim Coast to experience the Gobbins Cliff Path which is recognised as one of the most dramatic Coastal walks in Europe.
On Route visit the Anglo Norman Castle in Carrickfergus, the Coronation Garden in Newtownabbey.
The Gobbins Cliff Path is an amazing experience. Take a 2.5 hour walk along a cliff path and across dramatic bridges and tunnels (for more info visit https://thegobbinscliffpath.com )
During the summer months the Gobbins is home to an extensive colony of sea birds and the walk will bring you close to their nesting sites where you will really experience the sounds of the birds.
The Gobbins walk experience is lead by Gobbins guides in small groups. Pre booking is essential and can be very busy during peak season. Out tour will take you to the center and collect you after the walk.
Carrickfergus is one of the oldest towns in Ireland and the well preserved Castle, dates back to 1177, . Walk around the walls and sit at the banqueting table. This is an amazing introduction to life back in 12 th Century.
We can extend the tour to include the Highlights of Belfast. This can include a drive around the maritime heritage of Belfast including the Titanic experience, Stormont ,the home of the NI Parliament and a drive around the Peace Wall and Falls/Shankill area of the City.
I always recommend a visit to Belfast magnificent City Hall as part of your introduction to our home city.
