We had a great time on this tour. The Titanic Experience is very informative and covers the building of the ship as well as the tragedy and how the wreck was found. Seeing some of the recovered artifacts gives you a moment of reflection as well. We were a very small group so we couldn’t do the black cab tour in Belfast. Our driver/guide Aiden was excellent and gave us a very good explanation of what we would have seen and reviewed the history of the Troubles. On our way back to Dublin the All Irish Hurling Championship game was being played and he had it on the radio. I’d never heard of Hurling before and only being able to hear it I had no clue what to visualize, but it seems an exciting, fast paced sport.

Experience to do.

Since there were not many participants (17), we made the trip to Belfast in a small bus; it was less comfortable than the large tour buses we had used on other excursions. The guide talked a lot, a lot, or played his playlist for us; it was more restful for the ears on the way back. We had considered adding the black taxi option, but at the price of €30 per person for 75 minutes, we passed; it was starting to make the day very expensive! Instead, we had 2 hours of free time in Belfast before taking the bus back to be dropped off at the Titanic experience. Interesting and quite engaging visit; we had 2 hours and 30 minutes planned on site, which was more than enough while visiting the floors at our own pace. The gift shop offers products at exorbitant prices, but it is the same thing at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. In short, no regrets about having taken this ten-hour excursion.
