Day Trips Dublin to Belfast

Our family had a wonderful full-day experience with Claddagh Tours, guided by Gregory, as we explored Belfast and other parts of Northern Ireland. We specifically booked this tour to gain a deeper understanding of the history surrounding The Troubles, and it exceeded our expectations.

Gregory was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the region's complex history. We appreciated the opportunity to customise our itinerary, which allowed us to focus on the political landmarks most important to us.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and are very glad we chose to do it. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a meaningful and informative visit to Northern Ireland.
