What To Expect
Dunluce Castle
Located on a basalt outcropping right on the north coast of Antrim. This Castle was once the seat of Clan MacDonnell and stood throughout the medieval era as a bastion against invaders from both land and sea. Built in the 13th Century this fortification has seen its way through Irish history ( with a bit of Viking, Christian and British history too!!) and it will see you too as you witness its rugged beauty against the backdrop of the Northern Atlantic Ocean where the Castle stands vigil. Filled with haunting stories of collapsing walls and howling ghosts! Most recently it made an appearance in the Game of Thrones Tv Series as the great Pyke, castle and seat of House Greyjoy. Narnia too has its links to Dunluce as it provided inspiration to C.S.Lewis in his descriptions of Cair Paravel and has even been seen in a Jackie Chan movie called ‘The Medallion’ Dunluce might be the first stop of the day but it may well be the place you’ll never forget!
Giant's Causeway
Find the heart of Ireland’s Ancient mythological landscape at the other-worldly Giants Causeway. Walk among the great pillars of what was once an epic bridge to Scotland & constructed by none other than Finn McCool! It is said that once this bridge stretched all the way over to Scotland being built by Finn when he felt like fighting with a particularly fierce Scottish giant! Some say that ‘Nature doesn’t work in straight lines’, those who do have never been to the Giants Causeway. An area of over 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, most of which are hexagonal in shape having up to 8 sides. This magnificent landscape indeed looks like it by the hands of a giant but it is entirely naturally formed by the slow cooling of lava from an eruption millions of years ago. Recognized as one

5.00The tour was excellent. Quiggs was absolutely amazing. The depth of knowledge that he had about Ireland was truly incredible. Mixed with humor the long ride went quickly. I can’t say enough about the bus driver Tomas. Through rain all day and extremely strong winds in the way home he kept us safe.
Great day even in the rain

5.00I did this tour in April with Quiggs and Nishad and it was amazing! The weather was beautiful, the views were extraordinary, and we even arrived earlier at one of the destinations so we had a little more time to enjoy it. It is a very organised tour, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable so I learnt a lot as well.

5.00Quiggs and Nishad were our driver and tour guides on this trip. We had an amazing time. You get to learn the history or mythology of some of the sights/Ireland. The buses are large and comfortable enough for the trip. All in all, I am very happy I booked this trip. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Dublin or Belfast. ✨️
