From €7 per person
This private tour gives you Belfast and the surrounding area on your own terms, with a knowledgeable driver-guide and a luxury Mercedes V-Class vehicle that accommodates up to 7 passengers.
You can be collected from Dublin Airport, Belfast Airport, a Belfast hotel, or your cruise ship at Belfast port - and brought directly to your accommodation in Belfast or the surrounding area. From there, the itinerary is yours to shape. Talk to your driver-guide beforehand and decide what you’d most like to see.
Popular choices include Belfast’s famous political murals and peace walls, the Giant’s Causeway and North Antrim coast, or a tour of Belfast’s historic cemeteries - where you’ll find the graves of notable political figures, authors, and musicians. But the flexibility is the point: if you have specific interests or places you’ve always wanted to visit, this is the tour where you ask for them.
Have the conversation with your driver-guide before the day. The whole value of a custom private tour is in the brief you give. Think about what you genuinely care about - the Troubles history and peace walls, the Titanic and industrial heritage, the Glens of Antrim, or a mix. A driver who knows the city can take you to things the hop-on hop-off buses miss. The murals on the Falls and Shankill Roads are a different experience on foot with a guide who has context than from a bus window at 30 mph.
If the Giant’s Causeway and North Antrim coast is on your list, build in a full day. Belfast to the Causeway is about 90 minutes each way. A half-day version means you arrive at peak crowds. A full day lets you come early, cover Dunluce Castle and the Causeway before the coaches, then drive back along the Antrim Coast Road through the Glens. The road between Cushendun and Ballycastle - along Torr Head - is single-track, atmospheric, and nothing a coach can use. Bushmills is three kilometres from the Causeway and the right base if you want to stay overnight: the Bushmills Inn gas bar is still lit by gas and the village keeps going after the coaches leave.
The political cemetery tours are genuinely different from the mural tours. Belfast’s historic cemeteries - including Milltown and the City Cemetery - hold the graves of figures from every strand of the city’s history: republicans, loyalists, poets, mill workers, shipbuilders. A driver-guide with local knowledge makes these visits meaningful rather than just a map. It’s a quieter kind of city history, and often the one that stays with people longest.
Belfast city centre is walkable once you’re there. The Crown Liquor Saloon on Great Victoria Street, Kelly’s Cellars on Bank Street (open since 1720), and the Titanic Quarter waterfront are all within 20 minutes of each other on foot. If your custom tour ends in the city centre, ask your driver to drop you at the Cathedral Quarter - the cobbled lanes around the Duke of York are the right place to start an evening.
