Itinerary idea in detail

Private customized tour. Ask us about booking your international flights at our preferred rates.

  • Upon arrival at Dublin Airport, your private driver will meet and transport you to your hotel. You can then hear the fascinating history of Kilmainham Gaol on a shared, guided tour. Afterwards, you can trace the global influence of Irish people at EPIC, the Irish Emigration Museum.

  • Take in the sights of Dublin on an electric bicycle tour of the city with your knowledgeable guide. Later today, enjoy an evening of traditional stories, folk music, and dinner at a local pub.

  • This morning, collect your rental car and head to Killarney, stopping at Blarney Castle for a chance to kiss the famed Blarney Stone to acquire the gift of the gab, along the way.

  • Embark on a jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park. In the afternoon, explore the park again via a guided kayak adventure.

  • Drive to Ennis to spend the night in Dromoland Castle, whose history dates back to the 16th century. Learn the ancient art of falconry on the hotel’s impressive grounds before stepping back in time at a medieval banquet accompanied by amusing skits and music from costumed entertainers.

  • Today, make your own way to the Cliffs of Moher via the karst landscape of the Burren. We recommend admiring the sheer-faced Cliffs of Moher by boat.

  • Journey north to Galway for a hands-on Gaelic games experience, where you’ll learn the rules of hurling under the tutelage of a master. Afterwards partake in a gourmet food walking tour focused on local, artisan goods.

  • Return your car rental and say goodbye to the Emerald Isle.
