Evergreen Ireland North (7 Days Tour)

5.0 ⭐     20 customer reviews

Northern Ireland has so much culture, beauty and adventure to offer that we’ve devoted a nine-day tour to it. Take in well-known attractions and hidden gems alike, straying off the beaten path to learn new things and experience the North properly. Beginning in Belfast, you’ll take a loop of the north, stopping to visit sights such as Down Cathedral, The Nine Glens of Antrim and the Giants Causeway. Game of Thrones fans will especially love this as much of the series is filmed in Northern Ireland – some famous backdrops can even be spotted along the way!

Embark on your tour at 2:00 PM from the hotel. Experience a comprehensive Dublin panorama, renowned for its literary legacy, Georgian structures, iconic pubs, and the lively spirit of its inhabitants. Witness notable landmarks such as Trinity College, St. Stephen’s Green, the River Liffey, and others. Later, join your group for a welcome drink at the hotel, followed by an evening free for individual dinner plans.

Head to Athlone to explore Sean’s Bar, Ireland’s oldest pub tracing its origins back to 900 AD. Enjoy a creamy Irish coffee or another beverage, continuing the tradition that visitors have upheld for centuries. Continue your journey to Galway and partake in a guided walking tour led by a local expert, uncovering the charms of this vibrant city along the River Corrib. Galway, designated the European Capital of Culture for 2020, boasts medieval streets, Eyre Square, and the Spanish Arch. Feel free to discover the city at your own pace – listen to street musicians, visit a pub, or explore the various quaint shops lining the main street. Dine at your leisure this evening.

Continue your journey to County Sligo to witness an impressive display of expertly trained dogs herding sheep with precision at their owner's direction. Traverse through the rugged landscape and reach Donegal, a town rooted in Viking history and renowned today for its artisanal tweeds and woolens. Explore the lively town with some free time and visit Triona Design, our recommended shopping partner. Conclude your day with a dinner at your accommodation in Letterkenny.

Embark on a walking tour of the historic city of Derry with a local guide, exploring the Old City and its 17th-century fortification walls. Continue your journey to the Giant's Causeway, where you'll witness breathtaking sea cliffs and marvel at hexagonal basalt column formations along the Atlantic. According to folklore, this geological wonder was constructed by the legendary Finn MacCool. Experience the natural spectacle and delve into its history at an accompanying exhibition. Conclude your day with a unique dining experience at the Crosskeys Inn, Ireland's oldest thatched pub dating back to 1654 and an exclusive venue for CIE Tours. Renowned for its traditional music, it stands as one of Ireland's most famous pubs.

Embark on a comprehensive tour of Belfast, a historically significant port city with a vibrant arts scene. Explore its architectural treasures, including the impressive City Hall constructed in 1906 in classical Renaissance style and the Parliament Buildings at Stormont, the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly resulting from the peace process in the 1990s. Dive into the maritime history at Titanic Belfast, uncovering the crucial role played by Belfast shipbuilders in the story of the ill-fated ocean liner.

Journey to the enchanting historical town of Carlingford on the Cooley Peninsula, renowned for its picturesque vistas, oyster farms, and medieval church. Enjoy independent exploration of the town, taking in its historic sites and perusing the shops at your own pace. Head back to Dublin for an animated evening featuring dinner and traditional Irish entertainment at the Merry Ploughboy pub.

Your journey concludes following breakfast.
