Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Dublin.: Make your own way to
the hotel in Dublin. This evening meet your Tour Manager and
fellow travellers at the hotel. (D)
Day 2: Dublin to Galway: We’ll start the day with an
opportunity to visit Kilmainham Gaol, that covers some of
the most heroic and tragic events in Ireland's emergence as
a modern country. Then it’s off to the Guinness Storehouse
to see how the "black stuff" is made and sample a pint or
two at Gravity Bar. Later, we head for the lively sea-side
town of Galway. (B)
Day 3: Galway at leisure: Why not make the most of
this spectacular region and take the opportunity to try some
adventure activities in the Connemara National Park? Then
spend the afternoon exploring Galway town. (B,D)
Day 4: Galway to Killarney: This morning we make a
stop at the awesome 210m (700 ft) sheer cliffs of Moher
before continuing to the quaint town of Killarney. Take the
opportunity to ride in a jaunting car (horse and trap)
through Killarney National Park and up to Muckross House,
then perhaps enjoy some Celtic music at a local pub after
dinner. (B,D)
Day 5: Killarney to Cork: Enjoy a scenic drive along
the Ring of Kerry this morning before a chance to get the
gift of the gab at Blarney Castle. This afternoon enjoy time
to explore the cosmopolitan city of Cork. (B,D)
Day 6: Cork to Kilkenny: Our first stop today is
Cobh, the last port of call for the ill-fated Titanic. We
stop at Midleton, home of the Jamesons Whiskey, for a guided
tour of the old distillery before driving over the
Knockmealdown mountains to the Rock of Cashel, a dramatic
and spectacular limestone outcrop with fortifications.
Arriving at Kilkenny, why not take a guided tour of the
medieval town including Kilkenny Castle and St Canice’s
Cathedral. Tonight, we suggest you quench your thirst at a
local pub with traditional pub grub, local Kilkenny Ale and
some good Irish craic! (B)
Day 7: Kilkenny to Dublin: We’ll pull in to Dublin
around lunchtime, where you’ll have the chance to take a
guided tour of Trinity College during which you will see the
Book of Kells. Enjoy free time this afternoon to soak up
Dublin’s unique atmosphere before revving things up tonight
with an opportunity to sample a traditional Irish meal and
Irish dancing at Taylors Three Rock, one of Dublin’s best
pubs and a great night out. (B)
Day 8: Depart Dublin.: Unfortunately all good things
must come to an end. Your tour ends after breakfast with
time to swap addresses and e-mail contacts before saying
goodbye to new friends. (B)
