Highlights
I've been doing these tours for nearly 17 years. Growing up in Belfast I wasn't that far away from Ballycastle. Most families bought caravan's close to Belfast to holiday in during the summer months. My family had one in Ballycastle, so spent a lot of my childhood down this part of town which puts me in a great position to present this tour to you. On your tour you will visit the famous landmarks which include Carrick-A- Rede- Rope Bridge, Giants Causeway. Ballintoy Harbour, Dunluce Castle and the Dark Hedges these three places were used in the filming of the famous TV series Game Of Thrones. You will also visit the famous Old Bushmills whiskey factory where you can take a guided tour or just go in for a little whiskey testing. This tour has something for everyone whether its families enjoying the Causeway and Rope Bridge, GOT fans getting to see some of the most famous sites from the series, or Historians wanting to learn the history and visit all of the beautiful landmarks.

About Belfast
Belfast is Northern Ireland's capital, a harbour city between hills and lough, known for shipbuilding, Victorian pubs, murals and the Titanic story.
Belfast grew with the linen and shipbuilding trades, and the giant yellow cranes of the old shipyard still stand over the docks where the Titanic was built and launched in 1911. The Titanic Quarter now holds a large museum on that story. In the centre, the domed City Hall, completed in 1906, stands in a square of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, and the Cathedral Quarter has cobbled lanes and old pubs.
Top-ranked sights in Belfast: Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Dark Hedges.
