Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Paddywagon Tours, Dublin Ireland
We depart from Dublin and travel North, crossing the border and arriving to Northern Ireland. A brief comfort stop on the way will ensure you arrived refreshed and ready for a great day of sightseeing.
Pass By: Glens of Antrim, Northern Ireland
On our way towards the North Coast, we enjoy a scenic drive through some of the Glens of Antrim. This area has been named as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Enjoy a panoramic drive admiring the valleys, and lovely countryside of County Antrim.
Stop At: The Dark Hedges, off Bregagh Road, Ballymoney Northern Ireland
We visit the most popular natural phenomena in Northern Ireland, the Dark Hedges. The trees were planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to impress their guests upon arrival to their house. Most of you will recognize the Dark Hedges as King's Road from the hit TV series Game of Thrones. It is a wonderful photo-stop and an opportunity to be a part of a real life set!
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Causeway Coastal Route, 160 Main Street, Bushmills BT57 8QE Northern Ireland
We make our way to the Causeway Coast where we can see fine views of Rathlin Island, and on a clear day we may even see the Scottish coast 13 miles away. The views along this coastline are spectacular, no wonder it is one of the most visited destinations in Europe!
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge, 119A Whitepark Road, Ballintoy BT54 6LS Northern Ireland
The Rope bridge at Carrick-A-Rede is situated near the charming village of Ballintoy. Those that wish to cross the bridge can do so for a discounted price, and the charges for crossing the bridge go to support the National trust which is the charity that is responsible for the upkeep of the bridge. Those that do not wish to cross the bridge, can use the time to take an enjoyable coastal walk or visit the charming tea-rooms on the site. Please note: the bridge is a 1km walk from the car park, on an uneven path, so walking all the way to the bridge may not be practical for everyone.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Giant's Causeway, Causeway Road, Bushmills BT57 8SU Northern Ireland
The Giant's Causeway is the highlight of this trip for most! Built by the Irish giant Fionn and his Scottish rival Angus, it is a real masterpiece formed of perfectly shaped hexagonal columns. Your tour guide shall tell you more about the Causeway, and the legends of the area. - WE INCLUDE ADMISSION TO THE CAUSEWAY VISITOR'S CENTER, OTHER COMPANIES DO NOT (value GBP 8)- We provide you with an admission ticket to the interpretative center, enhancing your experience at the Causeway! The path to the causeway stones starts behind the center, it is only 10 mins walk! For a small fare there is a mobility bus that can bring you all the way down the path to the Causeway, for those with walking difficulties.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Dunluce Castle, 87 Dunluce Road Co. Antrim, Portrush BT57 8UY Northern Ireland
We arrive at one of the most dramatic castle ruins in the world for a photo-stop, prepare to be amazed at the way this old castle hangs over the edge of the cliffs. Part of the Dunluce Castle fell into the sea in the 1600's, and some servants died in the tragedy. Since that time, it is believed to be haunted by the unfortunate servants. Take some impressive photos before we leave the coast and make our way to Belfast.
Duration: 20 minutes
Pass By: Paddywagon Tours, 5 Beresford Pl, Gardiner Street Lower, Mountjoy, Dublin, Ireland
We relax as we make our way back to Dublin via the motorway, and expect to return to Dublin at approx 8.30 pm after a fun-filled day!

It was an fantastic tour through Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Paddywagon was very comfortible and the Driver very funny!
Great trip with family to visit Northern Ireland, and all the sites it has. Giant causeway, Riddick bridge, dark hollows, and Belfast were all a great stop along the way. The driver was very friendly and had great trivia/ history of the region.
Very enjoyable. We thought we would be driving along the coast and would have enjoyed that option. Otherwise, great value for money.
Such an amazing place and a great morning tea/rest stop
The Paddywagon tour was terrific. The only thing I would do differently is wear water proof clothing. We were drenched from downpours. The scenery was beyond belief and the guide was funny.
John was an entertaining guide. We had spectacular weather for the Giant's Causeway. The rope bridge was closed so John added a stop to The Dark Hedges. By the time we finished lunch, the rope bridge had reopened so we were able to do that as well as The Dark Hedges.
This tour was great! We really enjoyed the Giant's Causeway, the rope bridge, and Belfast. We enjoyed the whole day. The bus ride was comfortable. The tour guide was great. Would definitely do this again. The only thing I would have liked to have done was go into Dunluce Castle.
Very knowledgeable and personable tourguide and such a fun filled day!
Superb weather and a great tour. Paul, our driver AND tour guide did an outstanding job - wonderful sense of humour and very helpful and informative. Stops and refreshment facilities were very good - and we were given plenty of time to explore the Rope Bridge and the Giant's Causeway. An excellent day.
