Dublin Tourism, O'Connell Street, Dublin 1 @ 8.10am

Dublin Toursim, Suffolk Street, Dublin 2 @ 8.15am

One of our most popular day-trips because:

• Passionate and informed tour-guides
• Short driving time (2.5 hours Dublin-Belfast)
• Excellent shopping
• Free-time in downtown Belfast
• St. Oliver Plunketts preserved head!
• Celtic crosses at Monasterboice
• time-out in the rolling Irish farmland

The North has become a must-see for any traveller and lovers of Ireland. This tour enables you to focus on Belfast, birthplace of the Titanic and the little corner of our Motherland so ever present in World Headlines since 1969 but now experiencing a new dawn.

We introduce you to local guides, characters and customs of both the Ulster Irish and Ulster British communities while you travel in the Black Cab tour of Belfast. Paddywagon is a 100% Irish company and we take great pride in our strong links and friendships with Belfast's majority Protestant/ethnic British community.

This tour also visits the Celtic Crosses at Monasterboice and the head of the martyr St. Oliver Plunkett.
