Stay in some of our finest Irish Castles and Manor Hotels on this 9 day vacation to Ireland complete with ferry trip to Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands and home to the spectacular pre-Christian Dun Aonghus Fort. While this tour includes many of Ireland’s most iconic locations, because all of our travel consultants live in Ireland, they also have an intimate knowledge of Ireland’s hidden gems. All of our tours are designed in-house and as well having your own dedicated travel consultant, you will also receive a comprehensive and unparalleled daily sightseeing guide that is unmatched in the industry.
As well as the upgrades to 5 star hotels in both Kilkenny and Cork, additional highlights of the ‘GOLD TOUR’ while in Ireland will be attending the Smithwick’s Brewery Experience Tour in Kilkenny, the Megalithic Tombs at Newgrange and much much more….
While this is a self-drive vacation, a chauffeured version is also available!
Don't Forget! All elements of this vacation package can be customized to suit your needs. If you have a location or special ‘MUST SEE’ place, make sure to mention this to your travel consultant.
Upon your arrival into Dublin Airport it’s time to collect your Hertz Car Rental and start your Castle’s and Manor Tour of Ireland. Taking into account your long overnight flight, your first day’s drive is a reasonably short one, bringing you southeast of Dublin City to Kilkenny.
Kilkenny, also known as the ‘Marble City’, as well as being the most successful county in Ireland’s national sport of ‘Hurling’, is home to such historic sites as St. Canice’s Cathedral and Kilkenny Castle. As part of your tour, tickets for the ‘Smithwick’s Experience’ are also included. This famous Irish Ale was first secretly produced in Kilkenny by monks in 1231 and this atmospheric tour culminates with a pint of this now world renowned Ale.
For those with a love of horses, a stop on route at the National Stud in Kildare is a must, where a Horse Museum tracing the history of the horse in Ireland using artifacts, illustrations and text is located. In fact the famous Californian ‘Breeders Cup Mile’ race has been won by a number of National Stud horses, in the last 9 years.
This tour is designed for groups of 15 or more passengers.
Arrive in Dublin airport and meet with your driver/guide. Given that Dublin was named as a UNESCO City of Literature in 2010, there can be no better place to start your literary tour of Ireland beginning with a guided tour of the William Butler Yeats Exhibition at the National Library. The National library has the largest collection of Yeats manuscripts in the world and in addition holds other fascinating material donated by Mrs George Yeats. Next visit the James Joyce Museum/Tower (James Joyce Centre), originally built as a defence against Napoleonic invasions. This tower was the setting for the first chapter of Joyce’s masterpiece, Ulysses, and now displays a collection of Joyce artifacts including photographs and personal possessions as well as objects associated with the Dublin of Ulysses. After this visit, check into your hotel where you will have some time to relax before your evening entertainment, a Literary Pub Crawl. Tour Dublin's historic pubs in the company of two actors who introduce writers such as James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Brendan Behan and Oscar Wilde and perform fascinating scenes from their works along the way. Dinner has not been arranged for you this evening so you can enjoy one of the capital’s many restaurants or re-visit one of the pubs you enjoyed on your pub crawl. Overnight in Dublin BB.
