About this trip

Embark on a captivating journey through Ireland, where history and culture seamlessly blend with stunning landscapes. This tour offers an intimate look at the vibrant heart and soul of the Emerald Isle, from the bustling streets of Dublin to the tranquil beauty of rural cottages.

Your adventure begins in Dublin, Ireland’s capital, where the rich history bubbles just beneath the modern surface. Dive into the brewing legacy at the Guinness Storehouse, where you can learn about the storied process of making one of Ireland's most famous exports and enjoy a pint overlooking the city at the Gravity Bar. Whiskey enthusiasts will delight in exclusive tastings at both the Teeling and Jameson distilleries, delving into the craftsmanship behind these storied spirits.

As evening falls, immerse yourself in the local culture at a traditional Irish pub, where live music and lively conversations are the orders of the night. Dublin also offers abundant shopping opportunities, from iconic stores to local markets, perfect for picking up unique Irish crafts and gifts.

The journey continues to Cork, with a must-stop at the legendary Blarney Castle. Here, you'll have the chance to kiss the Blarney Stone and allegedly gain the gift of eloquence. Nearby, the Blarney Woollen Mills offers a chance to purchase quality Irish knitwear, a tangible reminder of your visit.

Traveling south, you'll discover the charming coastal towns of Kinsale and Cobh. Kinsale is renowned for its colorful streets and gourmet cuisine, while Cobh, known as the last port of call for the Titanic, houses an engaging maritime museum that deepens the connection to Ireland's storied past.

The scenic Ring of Kerry provides a dramatic backdrop as you travel towards Lorraine’s beautifully restored rural Irish cottages. This peaceful retreat serves as your base for exploring the rugged west coast. Highlights include the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, which you’ll have the opportunity to view from both land and sea, providing a unique perspective on these iconic cliffs.

The journey also includes stops in Doolin and Lahinch, villages famed for their traditional Irish music and vibrant local culture. The annual Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival in nearby Lisdoonvarna offers a lively and authentic experience of Irish social traditions.

As your tour concludes, a leisurely morning in the countryside precedes your return to Dublin, from where you will depart, taking with you memories of a land rich in history and beauty.
