This full-day coach trip from Dublin lasts about 13 hours and includes a political black cab tour in Belfast, visits to Dunluce Castle, and the Giant’s Causeway. The journey starts early with departure points at two locations in Dublin. Upon arrival in Belfast, passengers join a small-group black cab tour led by a local driver-guide. This 90-minute tour covers the Falls and Shankill neighbourhoods, featuring murals and the Peace Wall, with several stops for photos and explanations of Belfast’s recent political conflicts. After the black cab tour, there is a short break near the Titanic Experience building before the coach travels along the Antrim Coast. The route includes a 30-minute visit to Dunluce Castle, where admission is included to explore the castle ruins and grounds. The castle sits on a coastal cliff with views stretching to Scotland on clear days. The final stop is the Giant’s Causeway, where guests have around two hours to explore the basalt columns formed 60 million years ago. Trails lead to landmarks like the Giant’s Boot and the Wishing Chair, natural formations made of basalt. There is an optional train to ride between the visitor centre and the coast, and lunch is available on site. The return trip to Dublin includes a rest stop. The coach has air conditioning, and all fees and taxes are included, but food, drinks, and hotel transfers are not. There are no onboard restrooms.

Itinerary
Dublin Departure Points
The tour departs at 7 AM from The Starbucks Cafe on 1 College Green and at 7:05 AM from the Dublin Bus Office at 59 O’Connell Street, Dublin 1. Guests must arrive at least 10 minutes before departure as the tour cannot wait for late arrivals.
10 min
Shankill Neighbourhood
The tour spends about 30 minutes in the Shankill area of Belfast, known during the Troubles as a loyalist paramilitary centre where the UVF and UDA began. Murals throughout the neighbourhood depict historical events and local figures, similar to those in the Falls area. Across the full 90-minute tour, guests have many chances to photograph the world's largest outdoor art gallery. The small group size allows for time outside the cab and a personalised experience, with the guide sharing personal stories and local folklore.
30 min
Falls Neighbourhood Black Cab Tour
Arriving at Belfast at 9:15 AM, guests get a 20-minute break with restroom and refreshment access. Then groups of around five board black cabs for a 90-minute tour of Falls Road and surrounding areas. This route includes republican murals, the International Wall, and the Peace Wall, with the guide providing detailed accounts of Belfast’s recent political and social conflicts.
35 min
Peace Wall
The black cab tour includes a 10-minute stop at the Peace Wall, where the guide explains the reasons for its construction and its benefits. These walls separate the Roman Catholic and Protestant communities and were first built in 1969 after civil unrest began that year. Originally temporary, they have become permanent and have increased in height, length, and number since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. In Belfast, 75% of the 97 peace lines are in the north and west, areas home to poorer residents. Notably, 67% of deaths during the Troubles occurred within 500 metres of these walls.
10 min
Titanic Experience Building
The black cab tour ends outside the Titanic Experience building, where guests can use restrooms and visit the café before continuing the coach journey.
10 min
Antrim Coastal Route
The coach travels along the Antrim Coast, passing remote glens, cliffs, fishing villages, and beaches. The coastline offers views toward Scotland on clear days and includes locations used in the Game of Thrones TV series.
Dunluce Castle
Guests have 30 minutes to visit Dunluce Castle, which dates back over 500 years and sits on a cliff edge overlooking the North Atlantic. Admission is included. The castle has featured in films and Game of Thrones. Visitors can view the sea and local birdlife from the grounds.
30 min
Giant's Causeway
The tour arrives at the Giant's Causeway at 2.30 PM, with lunch options available. The site features 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed 60 million years ago by volcanic eruptions.

The Clifftop Trail offers views of the Causeway and the north coast of Ireland toward Scotland. Trails suit all ages, and a free train runs between the visitor centre and the coast.
