Authentic Europe · Partly guided tour

Dublin, Belfast & County Donegal

Authentic Europe's Dublin, Belfast & County Donegal is a 5-day, 4-night partly guided small group trip that starts and ends in Dublin. Day 2 is a train journey north with reserved seats and a tour escort onboard, stopping in Belfast for a hop-on hop-off ticket and a visit to Titanic Belfast, then continuing through Derry and County Donegal to Harvey's Point Hotel by Lough Eske, where travelers stay two nights with dinner included both evenings. Day 4 is a guided coach day tour to the Slieve League Cliffs, described in the evidence as Ireland's highest cliffs, continuing to Sligo before returning to Dublin. The Dublin arrival day and the leisure day at Harvey's Point have no guide included, so the trip mixes escorted travel with unstructured time. This suits travelers who want a short, small group introduction to Ireland's north and northwest, particularly those interested in coastal scenery and history, and who prefer reserved seats and an onboard escort to planning the route themselves.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at €1,515 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
