Fog threads through the streets as you step off the coach in a walled city that still remembers siege and superstition. Lantern light from Guildhall windows catches on wet cobbles, church spires cut into a low October sky, and somewhere a distant fiddle keeps the rhythm of the night. This 8-day Halloween tour stitches together Belfast’s industrial grit, the eerie hush of Leap and Kilkenny castles, the Atlantic drama at the Cliffs of Moher, and three themed evening events — from a medieval banquet to a costumed city parade.
