Do I need a passport for the trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland?

To travel to the Republic of Ireland, you just need a National Identity card, but to travel to Northern Ireland you do need a passport. So, for this tour you would require a passport.

I would like to do the seven day northern ireland tour but in the second half if september - is there a tour after the 7 September one?

Unfortunately, we do not. The only dates we have for this tour are 9th June and 1st September. If the traveller is comfortable on a self-guided tour, we can put together a personal proposal based on this itinerary.

If you have to do a tour, because Irish roads are scary and the signs in towns are confusing, McKinlay Kidd is a good choice.
