Ireland's Sights & Sounds

Welcome to the Irish capital! You will be met and privately transferred to your hotel, where you’ll meet our Brendan Local Host who will settle you in with the warmest of welcomes. Any questions on your trip will be answered and they will fill you in on all that’s good and not to be missed while visiting their beloved city.

Your included Hop-On Hop-Off tour is a great introduction to Dublin and all her highlights. There are more than 20 stops along the route and a host of famous sights to see (entrance fees are not included). Later this evening enjoy live music with a traditional Irish dance show.

Make your way to the train station. On board embrace the opportunity to see the Emerald isle from its best vantage point as your rail journey winds its way to Cork. Your Brendan Local Host will meet you at your hotel to give you all the information you need to get the best out of this charming part of our world.

Head out on a day trip to explore the best of County Cork. Exchange a kiss for the ‘gift of the gab’ at Blarney Castle, step back in time to 1912 at the Titanic Experience Cobh and learn about the whiskey-making process (and sample a dram or two) at the Jameson Distillery Midleton (operates March to October) 

It’s a quick train trip from Cork to Killarney, where your Local Host awaits with tips and suggestions for your stay in this diverse destination. 

Head out for a day of scenic beauty on an included excursion around the Ring of Kerry. As you travel through the rugged landscapes, picturesque towns and villages, marvel at the sights while listening to the natural soundtrack of crashing seas and the special commentary from your local guide. 

This morning, you will be picked up by a private car and chauffeur. En route to your Shannon Region hotel, stop for a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at the incredible Cliffs of Moher – part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Burren Geopark. Why not add a fairytale chapter to your Celtic story and upgrade your stay in the area to a night or two at the luxurious Dromoland Castle or Adare Manor? 

Bid farewell to Ireland as you are transferred to Shannon Airport, where your vacation ends.
