As we collect you from your designated pick-up points, we travel in style with Ardcavan Coaches to our beautiful hotel in Belfast located in Hope Street, The Holiday Inn. After a charming welcome reception and a short rest, we meet for dinner in the restaurant.
Day 2:
After a delicious breakfast our first stop today is to the Dark Hedges, an iconic haunting avenue of beech trees, which have long been one of the most photographed attractions in Ireland, featured in the TV Show ‘Game of Thrones’. We continue our day by visiting The Giants Causeway, a vast array of world-famous basalt hexagonal columns formed by volcanic activity over 60 million years ago. Flanked by the wild north Atlantic on one side, and landscape of dramatic cliffs on the other, the Giants Causeway has captured the imagination of all who see it.
Afterwards we enjoy some free time in this historic city before heading back to the hotel for some dinner and we check out some of the local entertainment venues.

We see Stormont Estate and Parliament buildings, The River Lagan, St. George’s Market, The Old Cathedral Quarter, St. Anne’s Cathedral, Queens University, The Belfast Peace Walls and the striking Political Murals.
In the afternoon, our tour will visit Crumlin Road Jail. You will receive a guided tour through the prison and cells giving you the entire history of the jail and some of the names that were associated with the jail.
Later we return to the hotel for a short rest before enjoying our dinner and heading out to local bars.

Before we pack our bags, we enjoy our final breakfast before saying farewell to the Holiday Inn. On our final morning we head off to the Botanic Gardens, there is a stunning 28 acres of beautiful plants from all over the world in this park. The gardens opened in 1828 as the private Royal Belfast Botanical Gardens, it continued as a private park for many years, only opening to members of the public on Sundays prior to 1895 when it became a public park. After this we board our luxury coach one more time to bring us back to our original pick-up points.
