Trip itinerary

Package Description

Enjoy an incredible vacation through Ireland's bustling cities and lush green countryside. Your trip begins in Dublin, Ireland's capital. First, see the famous sights of Dublin and take an excursion to the fascinating passage graves in the Boyne Valley. An orientation tour of Dublin includes a visit to Oscar Wilde's Trinity College, famous for the 1,200-year-old Book of Kells. Then visit Strokestown House for a guided tour of the restored 1740s mansion. Learn about the Great Famine of the 1840s at the Famine Museum. Experience beautiful Donegal on the Atlantic Coast and visit Kylemore Abbey, a massive yet graceful castle acquired by Benedictine nuns as a precious heirloom for Ireland. At Rathbaun Farm, hear all about sheep shearing and dog whistling. For another unique experience, take a short ferry ride to the Gaelic-speaking Aran Islands to hear from your Local Guide about island community life. At the Cliffs of Moher, rising 668 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, savor breathtaking views of the Clare Coast. In Limerick, enjoy a city tour and visit King John's Castle. Then travel to Killarney and enjoy sparkling seascapes, mountains dotted with brightly colored farmhouses, winding lanes, and breathtaking views of the Lakes of Killarney on the scenic Ring of Kerry drive. Travel to Blarney, known for its castle and magical Kissing Stone, and Waterford, where you visit the Waterford Crystal Factory. Visit Powerscourt, Ireland's most famous house and gardens, before returning to Dublin, where your Ireland vacation ends. Due to the adventurous style of the Aran Islands excursion, we recommend you bring suitable outdoor wear and comfortable shoes.
