Lynott Tours Inc| PRIVATE TOUR OF NORTHERN
IRELAND CHAUFFEUR-DRIVEN TOUR BELFAST - GIANT'S CAUSEWAY - WALLED CITY OF DERRY - OMAGH - ARMAGH - COUNTY DOWN Let us drive you around our Northern Ireland. No one can make the region come to life better than our local Irish chauffeurs. Travel on a private guided tour of the northern half of Ireland along the shores of the coasts and green, gentle slopes. Part of the fun of travel is finding new and unique areas to visit, and there are many different alternatives here. See remarkable natural formations such as Giant's Causeway, impressive round towers on Devenish Island, and authentic Irish heritage sites. It’s a journey not to be hurried. Every twist and turn in the road will reveal new sights, well placed stopping points, offering uninterrupted views to Scotland on one side and tall limestone cliffs dissected by beautiful glens on the other. Day 1- DEPART FROM HOME Your vacation begins the moment you board your flight. Destination: NORTHERN IRELAND.  Day 2 - BELFAST - THE PEACE
ACCORDYour destination is the capital of Northern Ireland. Belfast will surprise you! Belfast is a Victorian city built on the linen and shipbuilding trades. The ill-fated Titanic whose construction here in 1911 is still a source of civic pride and the subject of jokes. "Well mate," goes the saying, "She was all right when she left here." This cosmopolitan city still manages to keep its charm. On our panoramic tour, one of the sights you will see is Hillsborough Castle through its splendid wrought iron gates. Here the Good Friday Agreement was negotiated, agreed & signed as roadmap for peace, political stability and economic progress. Visit the authentic 19th century Crown Liquor Saloon, a restored national landmark, or the colorful Botanic Gardens.
 Day 3 - GLENS OF
ANTRIM/GIANT'S CAUSEWAY/PORTRUSH The Antrim coast is the most scenic in all Ireland, nine wooded river valleys running down to the shore. It’s a coastline sprinkled with historic castles, churches and forts. Many are now just ruins but each holds the memories of a mysterious and heroic past. A past populated by seafaring Vikings and swashbuckling tales of the ancient Irish clans. See the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge,  offering some heart-stopping
views of the surf below. Visit the strange natural phenomenon at Giant's
Causeway, before a welcome drink at the Bushmill's Distillery. Learn the
secrets of the special water from St Columb’s Rill, as you tour Old
Bushmills, the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery. King James I
granted the original license to distil "Uisce Beatha" in 1608 and the
crafts and skills employed there have changed little in 400 years.(B)  Day 4 - DERRY/OMAGH/ ENNISKILLEN
Entering the city of Londonderry, you will view the most notable and historic feature of the city – the Walls, the most complete city walls in Europe. They rise to a height of 26 feet and in places are 30 feet wide. Almost a mile in circumference, they form a cobbled walkway around the city and provide a unique promenade towering above the city streets. Your guide will lead you on a walk (approximately 45 minutes) along the broad expanse of the walls Visit the Victorian 1890 Guildhall, with it's impressive stained glass windows. Derry was also where Amelia Earhart touched down, after her historic solo flight across the Atlantic. Next, pass small farm villages within sight of the bare Sperrin Mountains as you travel to the Ulster American Folk Park. Here, you book passage on a ship bound for America and emerge in a recreated Irish village of long ago. (B)
Day 5 - BELLEEK/DEVENISH EXCURSION Visit the Belleek Pottery, producers of fine porcelain tastelfully decorated with shamrocks or delicate trellis-like plates. Magnificent lake views abound on the ancient monastic site of Devenish Island, Ireland's best example of a round tower. Return to Enniskillen, with its old world style pubs and Georgian brick buildings. (B)  Day 6 - ARMAGH/TEMPLEPATRICK Discover the ancient ecclesiastical city of Armagh, the home to both Protestant and Catholic cathedrals. The Transport Museum, one of the finest in Europe, displays Ireland's largest and most comprehensive transport collection, from horse-drawn carts to Irish built motor cars, and from the mighty steam locomotives that graced our railways to the history of ship and aircraft building. (B)  Day 7 - ARDS
PENINSULA/DOWNPATRICK/NEWCASTLE Travel the Ards Peninsula to join the ferry at picturesque Portaferry. Downpatrick Cathedral, burial site of St. Patrick is next. Here, Ireland’s Patron Saint’s story is told in his own words giving visitors a real understanding of earlyChristianity in Ireland. One surprise for visitors is that during a multi-media presentation, Dr. Ian Paisley’s voice can be heard. Our destination is Newcastle, nestled under the Mourne mountains. The mountains of Mourne really do "sweep down to the sea" as Percy French wrote. Optional: RATED THIRD BEST GOLF COURSE IN THE WORLD Par 71 - Links, 6,692 yds. The legendary Tom Morris laid out this course and it has been described as "a golfing feast of banqueting proportions." The golfing experience at Royal County Down is often bittersweet. While its location beneath the spectacular Mountains of Mourne may earn it the title of the most beautiful links in the world, it is without a doubt one of the toughest. Founded 1889(B)
