We visit the Giant’s Causeway one of Ireland’s top tourist attractions. It is a spectacular sight of thousands of symmetrical columns rising dramatically from the sea. Certainly a sight to behold!
We later continue to the walled city of Derry (Londonderry). Prosperity and peace have made this compact city, with its tumultuous history, one of the most fascinating to visit in the British Isles.
During your visit, an optional sightseeing tour will be available to introduce you to the city. The sightseeing tour of Derry will commence by coach, giving an overview of the city, before we continue on foot around the walls. It's Ireland’s only completely walled city – there is over 1,450 years of history locked into its 17th century walls. We enjoy a stroll along part of the walls, ending in the city centre. From the walls, you will view the murals, which are a reminder of key events within Derry’s more recent history.
