Itinerary
Explore the 40,000 plus hexagonal-shaped pillars that were formed by lava millions of years ago or, if you believe local legend, by an Irish giant fighting a Scottish giant 17 centuries ago. A World Heritage site, the spectacular phenomenon ranks alongside Everest and the Giant Redwoods in worldwide importance. A must-see!
Titanic Belfast is an iconic six-floor building, featuring interpretive and interactive galleries exploring the sights, sounds, and stories of Titanic, as well as the City and people which made her. It is the world’s largest Titanic exhibition, located right beside the historic site of this world-famous ship’s construction - a 'must-see' visit on any tour of Belfast.
A romantic ruin perched dramatically above the coastal cliffs of north County Antrim, Dunluce Castle bears witness to a long and tumultuous history. No wonder it was featured on Game of Thrones. Besides the history, local folklore tells of a banshee and how the castle kitchens fell into the sea one stormy night in 1639.
Belfast neighbourhoods. The most interesting aspect of Belfast is the complicated and fascinating history of The Troubles (1968-2005), which saw neighbouring communities of Nationalists (Irish) and Loyalists (British) face off against each other in near-daily skirmishes. The resolution of this conflict has proven an incredible achievement of diplomacy, patience, tolerance and maturity by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning politicians and the societies themselves. Creative murals provide insights into the inspirations and sentiments of both communities, past and present.
(optional) Now this an experience you won’t soon forget as you walk like Indiana Jones across this ropebridge, suspended almost 100 ft (30 m) above sea below. Don’t worry, there are no crocodiles! The adrenal rush of the passage and dopamine of your success will make this visit standout as one of the highlights of your day. You’ll be sure to take in the stunning views of the coast and the fresh North Atlantic breeze.
(optional) This beautiful avenue of beech trees was planted in the eighteenth century, intended as a compelling landscape feature to impress visitors as they approached the entrance to Gracehill House mansion. Game of Thrones Featured Scene: Season 2, Episode 1: The North Remembers - On the King's Road, Arya Stark has escaped from King’s Landing, disguised as a boy. She is with Yoren, Gendry, Hot Pie and others who are to join the Night’s Watch, in a cart, travelling north on the Kingsroad.

Took Giants By Storm
It was OUTSTANDING. Trudy Carmody was our tour guide and she was amazing... professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and very personable. She truly made our first visit to Ireland memorable! There is so much more I could write but space is limited.... We also added the Titanic experience which was amazing. in short.... Trudy is the one you want to take you on the tour.

Thank you for your response. First, I'd like to reiterate that our tour guide, Liam did an outstanding job with the day. We learned a lot about Irish history. Things that TripAdvisor should work on: 1. Send a copy of the detailed itinerary to the tour guide. Liam had no direction as to what the advertisement described, which was detailed. We basically had to create an itinerary Instead of the plans detailed on TripAdvisor. 2. Covey the dropoff and pickup locations and times to the tour guide. Having to make adjustments at the last minute is stressful. I do have to disagree with Liam's account with making 5 calls to me prior to the tour. I received only one call, and no message was left. I did not know who was calling, and without a message, did not return the call. Thank you for engaging us in regards to feedback. I hope your can better communicate with your guides in the future.
