Day 1: Depart USA Your trip to the beautiful Emerald Isle begins when you board your evening flight bound for Dublin Airport (airfare not included in tour price).
Day 2: Dublin City Upon arrival at Dublin airport, collect your luggage and proceed to the arrivals hall. A representative will be there to meet you and arrange a transfer to your first hotel. If your flight arrives after 12.00 noon, you will need to transfer to the hotel at your own expense. In the afternoon, commencing at 2.00 pm, we will take a panoramic tour of Dublin’s Fair City. We will pass Trinity College, home of the Book of Kells and St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We’ll pass O’Connell Street, Europe’s widest street and pass Christchurch Cathedral, and the Bank of Ireland, which is formerly the Irish House of Parliament. If you keep a close eye on the road, you may even spot Molly Malone wheeling her wheelbarrow! Our tour concludes with a visit to Jameson’s Distillery where you will learn about the distilling process and conclude with a tipple in the Jameson’s Discovery bar.Overnight: Jury's Custom House Hotel or similar
Day 3: Cashel/Blarney/Killarney This morning we depart Dublin for Killarney. Our route will bring us south through the town of Cashel, where we will visit the Mighty Rock of Cashel, once home to the High Kings of Munster. Our drive continues on to Blarney where we have the opportunity to visit the castle and kiss the famous Blarney Stone to gain the gift of the gab! There will also be time to indulge in a little shopping at the famous Blarney Woolen Mills. We arrive into Killarney in the late afternoon and enjoy dinner together at the hotel. (B,D) Overnight: Killarney Towers Hotel or similar
Day 4: Ring of Kerry Today we take an exciting tour of the famous Ring of Kerry. The Ring of Kerry is part of the mystical & unspoiled region of Ireland that has attracted visitors for hundreds of years. Its spectacular beauty is beyond question and it provides an amazing insight into the ancient heritage of Ireland. The circle is completed as our route takes us on to “Ladies View” then back to Killarney. In the afternoon, step back in time and opt to take a ride in a traditional horse drawn cart around the Lakes of Killarney. We return to our hotel for dinner. (B,D) Overnight: Killarney Towers Hotel or similar
Day 5: Cliffs of Moher/Galway We depart Killarney and head north crossing the Shannon River by ferry into Kilimer, County Clare. Our first stop today is the majestic, spectacular, and mighty Cliffs of Moher. Rising 700 feet above the ocean and extending 5 miles, the Cliffs offer sweeping views of the Atlantic, the Aran Islands, and Galway Bay. We arrive in Galway, “the city of Tribes” named after the fourteen families who originally settled in the area. Here, we can enjoy this historic city by visiting the Cathedral and Claddagh area, from which the famous Claddagh ring derived. (B) Overnight: Harbour Hotel or similar
Day 6: Connemara This morning, after a hearty Irish breakfast we shall explore the rugged yet serene Connemara area which John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara made famous in the classic, “A Quiet Man”. This rocky land of broad-backed mountains and pearl-like lakes is the largest Irish speaking section of the country and the old traditions and way of life are as much a part of Connemara’s attractions as is the scenery. We drive along the shores of Lough Corrib and then westward through Maam Cross to Leenane. We return to Galway for the evening, where you are free to enjoy the many pubs and restaurants Galway has to offer. (B) Overnight: Harbour Hotel or similar

Day 8: Giants Causeway/Antrim Coast This morning after breakfast we will be exploring some of the rugged scenery of Northern Ireland.

Tonight you are free in downtown Belfast.(B) Overnight: Europa Hotel or similar
Day 9: Belfast After breakfast this morning we depart our hotel for a panoramic sightseeing tour of Belfast City. The birthplace of the Titanic and home to some of the world’s most famous faces, Belfast is rich in history and steeped in culture.

Some of the notable sights we will see are Belfast City Hall, Linen Hall Library, Stormont House, Grand Opera House, St. Anne's Cathedral, Ulster Museum and the Botanic Gardens. At the end of your tour you may wish to visit one of the city's fine art galleries or museums or perhaps have a pint at the historical Crown Bar, where you can admire the tin roof, stained glass windows and traditional snug’s!
