5-Day Private Belfast to Galway Tour
Travel from Belfast to Galway over five private touring days, combining Northern Ireland’s city and coastal highlights with Derry, Donegal and the west of Ireland. This is a one-way sample route, designed around changing overnight bases rather than repeatedly travelling back to Belfast.
Your chauffeur-guide and vehicle are private to your party. Martin will help agree realistic priorities, hotel locations and ticket arrangements before the itinerary is confirmed.

Day 1: Get to know Belfast
Start with a private Belfast day around your interests. Choose city landmarks, the murals and Peace Walls or a separately booked Titanic Belfast visit. We shape the number of stops around walking time and any indoor admission. Overnight in Belfast.
Day 2: Causeway Coast, finishing in Derry
Head north for the Giant’s Causeway and selected coastal stops. Dunluce Castle, Ballintoy Harbour and the Dark Hedges are possibilities; the final choice depends on your walking plans and the journey onwards to Derry.
A distillery tour or rope bridge crossing needs its own time allowance, so discuss these priorities before booking tickets. Finish at your Derry accommodation rather than return to Belfast.
Day 3: Derry and Donegal
Allow time for Derry’s walled-city area before travelling into County Donegal. We agree a manageable sightseeing route towards your accommodation in or near Donegal Town. A longer walk or a substantial detour will change the other stops, so choose the experiences that matter most to you.
Overnight in Donegal Town or another agreed nearby base. Exact hotel locations affect the next day’s route.
Day 4: From Donegal through Sligo to Galway
Continue south through the northwest, with a stop in the Sligo area agreed around the overall journey. Options can focus on scenery, a village visit or a relaxed lunch rather than several lengthy attraction visits. Continue to Galway for the night.
Day 5: Galway and a chosen west-coast route
Use the final touring day for Galway and an agreed Connemara route, or a shorter day closer to the city. Travel distances, walking and any attraction bookings determine what fits. Finish at your Galway accommodation or another agreed Galway drop-off.
A return to Dublin is not included in this sample final day. If you need to finish in Dublin, we can replace the Connemara day with an agreed eastbound journey, or quote an additional transfer. Do not book a Galway sightseeing day and assume a Dublin airport collection is part of the same plan.
Price and inclusions
The £3,000 touring transport price covers five standard eight-hour days, your agreed chauffeur-guide service, vehicle, fuel, tolls and applicable tax. Guest hotels, admission, meals and optional gratuities are separate.
Chauffeur accommodation away from base is £100 per night where required. A confirmed luggage trailer is £50 per day where needed. Arrival/departure transfers, any additional hours and the applicable accommodation nights will be set out in the written quotation.
Planning notes from Martin
Agree the overnight bases before booking accommodation. A hotel well outside the route can turn a relaxed sightseeing day into a long transfer. Share your suitcase dimensions and equipment list too: a vehicle’s passenger capacity does not by itself establish how much luggage will fit.
Frequently asked questions
Can the route be reversed?
We can discuss Galway to Belfast travel. Vehicle availability, hotel locations and your arrival or departure arrangements will determine the final quote.
Can we add more time in Donegal?
Yes. We can reduce other sightseeing, change the final destination or add another touring day. Agree the route before buying attraction tickets.
