Highlights of Ireland
Experience Overview
We’re all a little bit Irish come March 17, but if you’re in the market for something more meaningful than a pint of green beer, hop aboard this delightful nine-day adventure to the Emerald Isle. Cliffs of Moher, Ring of Kerry, traditional music in a local pub... seriously, it doesn’t get much more quintessentially Irish than this. We mix the essential sites and time in the villages to really round out the experience. Even if Ireland isn’t the Old Country for you, this trip will make you feel as though you’re back home.
Highlights
- Drink a pint and listen to traditional music in a local pub
- Visit the sites along the Ring of Kerry
- Walk some of the Wild Atlantic Way to the Cliffs of Moher
- Explore the cities of Dublin and Belfast

Spend a few hours following the Wild Atlantic Way from Doolin to the Cliffs of Moher. Soak in the views as you hike the trail. Opt for a picnic along the way.

The guide was okay and offered a satisfactory service but there were areas that could?ve been better developed - such as recommendations for eating, sight seeing as well as his overall manner.

Brenda M. - Traveled, September 2023
Ireland is gorgeous and I really enjoyed the learning the history. I felt there was too much time spent on the bus. Perhaps a longer tour or one with less stops would be better.

Lana S. - Traveled, September 2023
The entire tour was fantastic and a fair price. The tour guide Jaime was professional, efficient, helpful and a lot of fun. The hotel rooms were very nice, clean being my biggest requirement, they were very clean. The driver and bus was fantastic, the bus being clean and comfortable and the driver doing a very good job. What were were able to see as an overview was perfect even thought due to weather Jaime had to improvise but still made it all work out.

I liked the experience of having the ability to learn about Ireland with a guide. No worries about traveling from destination to destination and accommodation are taken care of. Also having time in each location to explore on your own.
