BELFAST (Including Titanic Experience) Day Tour From DUBLIN

***** TRIPADVISOR CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE 2017 *****

The North has become a must-see for any traveler and lover of Ireland. This tour enables you to focus on Belfast, birthplace of the Titanic, and the little corner of our motherland so ever present in world headlines since 1969 but now experiencing a new dawn. We include the Titanic experience on our tour, saving you money and hassle on arrival in Belfast!

We introduce you to local guides, characters and customs of both the Ulster Irish and Ulster British communities while you travel in your Black Cab tour of Belfast (optional). Paddywagon is a 100% Irish company and we take great pride in our strong links and friendships with all parts of the community in Belfast.

This tour also visits the Celtic crosses at the 6th century monastic site of Monasterboice, set in picturesque countryside. The ruins are of an early Christian settlement. The site houses two churches built in the 14th century or earlier, including a round tower, however the highlight are the 10th century high crosses. This is for many a photographic highlight of their time in Ireland.
