An excellent tour and out guide Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. As an extra for 4 seasons he had great stories to tell about filming and being part of Game of Thrones. You get great information about the sites you're visiting before you get there. The rope bridge wasn't accessible but we didn't just skip that, we went to Dunluce castle as an alternative and that was well worth visiting. Can't recommend this highly enough, it is a long day but it's entertainment all the way.

We just loved everthing about ireland, the friendliness, the fun, the tour guide, the small group travel. The scenery is just breathtaking. The ancient history is just jawdropping i mean these ancient women (queens) had some serious hootspur and gumtion. I mean they went out and did some serious stuff, got involved in wars, sailed ther own ships, left the babies home and got rid of husband who were just superfluous to requirements. I mean kudos to you girls. I know you are not gonna beleive this but we need you back. Northern ireland sad, such a waste of young life. Still feels haunted by the grief. Our hosts were b&b's, they were just delightful, and hilariously funny sometimes. Our tour guide (their were 10 of us) Gabriel was fantastic great sense of humour, very helpfull, fantastic with local knowledge and history. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
If only every day could be a Saints & Spirits Day. You’ll reach out and touch the past, your emotions, and your senses too. This day is like an awakening, or a period of reflection where you will learn new things about Ireland and about yourself. It’s a time to step back from the rush of everyday life and explore the mystical, the moving and the inspired. As well as a journey by road, this is a journey inward. You’ll spend the day in the company of local people – your local driver, your local guide and local storytellers. Think of them as your family for the day. Between them, they’ll help you experience our history through their eyes. You’ll also feel the warm welcome that we’re known for. The places you’ll visit on this tour are moving, intriguing and stirring: the celestial heights of Saint Patrick’s life, the poignancy of The Somme, brisk winds as we cross Strangford Lough by ferry, the authentic craft of a local gin-maker and the complex fragrance of their artisan spirits.
Inclusions: Dedicated & experienced local driver, Dedicated & knowledgeable local storytelling guide, Private guided tours of Somme Heritage Centre, Down Cathedral & Echlinville Distillery, Ferry Crossing, Luxury Mini Coach, Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water, Coffee and/or Tea
