5 Days Private Tour in North of Ireland

About This Tour

Northern Ireland does not get the same tourist traffic as the south and west, and that is exactly what makes it so rewarding. This five-day private tour takes you through landscapes that feel genuinely untouched - from the hexagonal basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway to the dizzying heights of Slieve League, where the cliffs plunge nearly 600 metres into the Atlantic.

The small group format means the itinerary bends to your interests. Your guide knows the hidden pubs, the quieter viewpoints, and the stories that do not make it into the guidebooks. The Antrim Coast Road is one of the great coastal drives of Europe, and you will have a full day to take it in, with stops at the Dark Hedges (made famous by a certain TV series), the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, and the Causeway itself. Derry’s walled city is a powerful blend of history and culture, and crossing into Donegal opens up some of the wildest coastline on the island.

This is not a coach tour where you are herded from one photo stop to the next. The pace is relaxed, the group is small, and the guides are the kind of people who make the history come alive over a pint in the evening. If you want to see a side of Ireland that most visitors miss entirely, this is the one.
