Itinerary

• Day one, Dublin... after meeting your group, you'll embark on an orientation drive through the city. You'll see O'Connell Street, Trinity College, and St Patrick's Cathedral.
• Day two, Belfast... you'll travel north through Ireland's ancient east. Pass through Drogheda, and the fertile Boyne Valley. You'll stop in Downpatrick, the final resting place of Ireland's patron saint. Once in Belfast, we recommend joining an optional city tour with a Titanic Experience visit.
• Day three, Sligo... you'll visit Giant's Causeway, and see the walled city of Derry. Next, drive along the hidden beaches of Donegal Bay, before arriving in Sligo. The town was home of the Irish poet, William Butler Yeats.
• Day four, Limerick... you'll tour Galway, famous for its colourful pubs, live street music, and fresh oysters.  You will also see the 668-foot Cliffs of Moher. You'll spend the night in Limerick, which straddles Ireland's longest river, the Shannon.
• Day five, Killarney... you'll continue to travel south in Ireland's wild west. Stop at Adare village, where you'll see some gorgeous traditional thatched cottages. Afterwards, you'll drive to the Dingle Peninsula and see the Blasket Islands. Then, arrive in Killarney, where you'll spend the next two nights.
• Day six, Killarney... today brings a full-day Ring of Kerry excursion, a 100-mile scenic coastal drive. The route is packed with pretty whitewashed villages, glittering seascapes, and Medieval ruins.
• Day seven, Tramore... you'll head over the Kerry Mountains into County Cork. Visit Blarney village, famous for its Stone of Eloquence. You'll also see stunning crystalware at House of Waterford. Spend the night in Tramore, known for its sweeping beach, cosy pubs, and excellent fish and chips.
• Day eight, Dublin... on the final leg of your trip, you'll visit Ireland's oldest handweaving mill at Avoca. Take in views of the Wicklow Mountains as you travel back to Dublin. You can join an optional Irish cabaret evening with dinner to say goodbye to your group.
