Itinerary

Irish Craic & Culture – Dublin & Belfast - JG Explorer

Travel in deluxe style on this holiday aboard aJG Explorercoach!
Ireland has it all; from postcard-perfect coastlines, ruffled hillsides and small cities with big personalities. Must-sees include historic Belfast, where we discover the story of the Titanic in all its grandeur, the sweeping scenery of the train journey from Coleraine to Derry~Londonderry and vibrant Dublin; alive with traditional music and its famously friendly culture. We also have the chance to visit the renowned Giant's Causeway on this bustling break that promises to be great craic.

Irish Craic & Culture – Dublin & Belfast - JG Explorer
Itinerary
Day 1
We catch the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin where our tour manager joins us. We continue onwards to our overnight hotel in the Dublin area.
Day 2 - Guided city tour of Dublin
We start the morning with a city tour of Dublin led by a local guide. This pint-sized city is full of character, where layers of history are on display from a patchwork of medieval castles and cathedrals. Highlights of our tour include St Stephen's Green, Trinity College and many iconic landmarks in between. Cameras at the ready for the Molly Malone statue, before we enjoy some time at leisure as we explore the city at our own pace.
This afternoon we leave Dublin and make our way to the Ramada by Wyndham Hotel in Belfast city centre, our base for the next three nights.
Day 3 - Guided city tour of Belfast & Titanic Belfast
This morning provides the chance to explore the lively city of Belfast during a tour led by a local guide. Northern Ireland's best-known city has undergone a striking transformation, and we learn all about its fascinating history as an industrial dynamo at the centre of many successful trades from tobacco, linen and, of course, ship building.
A day out in Belfast would not be complete without taking the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of the men who built the world's most famous ship; the RMS Titanic at Titanic Belfast. This state-of-the-art multimedia exhibition located at the original shipyard, is easily the city's most visited attraction.
Day 4 - Giant's Causeway & Coleraine-Derry~Londonderry Train
Today we head to the incredible Giant's Causeway, known the world over for its striking natural rock formations. Like a huge game of Jenga that got out of hand, these hexagonal volcanic columns are guarded by the foaming ocean and dramatic cliffs.
From here we head to catch the Coleraine to Derry~Londonderry train, described by Michael Palin as 'one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world'. We sit back, relax and soak up the stunning views of lush green countryside, golden sands, rolling waves and striking cliffs before we disembark in Derry~Londonderry for some free time to explore at leisure.
Day 5 - Dublin & Guinness Storehouse Brewery
Checking out of our hotel, we return to Dublin where we enjoy a self-guided tour of the Guinness Storehouse Brewery. Every great afternoon in Dublin starts with a pint of the 'black stuff' and today is no different as we explore seven fascinating floors all dedicated to the tale of Ireland's most iconic beer. We make our way through a series of audio-visual experiences exploring the history, brewing process and advertising successes of the beverage, before we enjoy a picture-perfect pint in the rooftop Gravity Bar.
After our tour, we enjoy some free time at leisure before we head off to our overnight hotel in the Dublin area.
Day 6
We check out of our hotel very early to catch the ferry back to Holyhead; a voucher will be provided to enjoy breakfast on board. On arrival in Holyhead, we continue our journey home.
Due to ferry times, coach pickup times may be very early in the morning.
