COME TO IRELAND WITH JOANIE!

Join me and my Cherish the Ladies guitarist, Mary Coogan, on a magnificent 7-day musical journey through the Emerald Isle! We'll traverse Ireland's stunning landscapes, sharing music, tales, and laughter while exploring its legendary sites.

Each day, we'll immerse ourselves in Ireland's rich culture before retiring to luxurious 4 and 5-star accommodations. Evenings will be filled with exquisite dining and nightly entertainment, featuring myself, Mary, and our special guests including some of Ireland's leading entertainers!  Of course we want you to bring along your instruments, dancing shoes, and singing voices—we encourage everyone to join in the fun!

With every one of our tours selling out, it's clear we're onto something special. It brings me immense pride that all of my previous bus tours have sold out, a testament to the incredible experiences we offer. 

So, if you're perusing this page, I sincerely hope you'll consider joining us.  Spaces fill up fast, so secure your spot soon to ensure you don't miss out on the opportunity to explore Ireland with a fantastic group of fellow travelers.

Once again I'm delighted to be teaming up with my longtime tour coordinator, Niall Leogue from Caddie Tours.  Niall is a pro and has dedicated his life to tourism and customer service.  He is exceptional and detail oriented, and I can't recommend him high enough with assisting you in planning your trip, from flights to hotels and even travel insurance (which I really encourage you to have before you travel) so don't hesitate to get in touch!

Thank you for your interest—I look forward to welcoming you aboard for an unforgettable musical adventure through Ireland!
