Itinerary

​

Taste of Ireland - 7 Days/6 Nights

​

Day 1: Start this morning with independent touring in Dublin on a Hop-On, Hop-Off bus. Your voucher also includes a visit to one of Dublin’s top attractions – Guinness Storehouse, Teeling Distillery, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Jameson
Distillery Bow St. Experience, or the GPO Museum. Dine independently this evening.

Day 2: Dublin City Tour, Dublin Castle & Merry Ploughboy Pub
Enjoy the morning exploring Dublin with the included vouchers. At 2:00 PM, depart from your hotel for a panoramic view of Dublin. Drive through the lively streets with a local guide, seeing this historic city’s highlights: Trinity College, elegant Georgian homes, and modern buildings rising by the River Liffey. Visit Dublin Castle for a guided tour and see the splendid State Apartments; for centuries, this impressive
complex was the seat of colonial power in Ireland, and now hosts official ceremonies. Return to your hotel for a welcome drink with your group, then on to the Merry Ploughboy Pub for a dinner of Irish specialties and a lively show with traditional
music and step-dancing.

Day 3: Blarney Castle & Killarney
Travel through lush green countryside on your way to Blarney Castle. Along the way, stop for photos of the stately ruins of the Rock of Cashel on their hilltop perch. At Blarney, climb the winding staircase to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone
and gain the gift of the gab, or wander the beautiful gardens. Arrive in the friendly, lakeside town of Killarney, where you’ll dine at your hotel this evening.

Day 4: Ring of Kerry, Skellig Experience & Sheepdog
Demonstration
Visit a preferred shopping location, Moriarty’s, in the beautiful Gap of Dunloe before embarking on the famed Ring of Kerry scenic drive. The winding, 100-mile route reveals breathtaking coastal and mountain views, with plenty of photo stops.
Pause for a casual lunch in a cozy restaurant. Continue on to Valentia Island to visit the Skellig Experience, a visitor center telling the story of the neighboring island of Skellig Michael, which you’ll see off the coast. Learn how this island, a filming
location for “Star Wars,” was once the austere home of early Christian monks. Stroll around the quaint, colorful village of Sneem and at Moll’s Gap for panoramic views of Ireland’s highest mountains. Visit a farm to see a demonstration of skilled dogs herding sheep. Return to Killarney and enjoy a free evening to dine and discover the pubs as you wish.

Day 5: Cliffs of Moher & Medieval Castle Banquet
Take a ferry across the River Shannon, then drive along the coast of County Clare to the Cliffs of Moher, a spectacular wall of sandstone soaring almost 700 feet above the Atlantic. Continue on to your hotel. In the evening, enjoy a medieval-style feast of traditional Irish fare at a castle. Lords and ladies will serenade you with songs and harp music evocative of medieval times. 

Day 6: Galway & Dublin
Drive to the vibrant, artistic city of Galway for a panoramic tour and free time to browse the local shops, watch street performers, see the medieval buildings, or relax in a pub or café. Travel across the country to Dublin, where you’re free to
dine in one of the city’s excellent restaurants or explore its legendary pubs.
