Enjoy a morning in Dublin’s fair city. Our optional sightseeing tour will show you the inner heart of Dublin, which, if left on your own would take a week! You will see both the north and south part of the capital. The tour is a panoramic one, seeing all the beautiful buildings of architectural significance like Trinity College, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, The National Art Gallery and the Four Courts. Dublin is a beautiful Georgian city and highlights will be the magnificence of Georgian Dublin with visits to some of the superb squares. This afternoon, our optional excursion is to the spectacular Wicklow Mountains.

You may even wish to enjoy an optional ride on a traditional jaunting car! Climb aboard a traditional Irish jaunting car (pony and trap ride) for a tour around the sights of Killarney.

Be sure to see Eyre Square, enclosing a pleasant park lined with imposing, mainly 19th century buildings. Overlooking the park is a modern shopping mall built to incorporate sections of the historic city walls. To complete your explorations why not visit the old quays, a tranquil spot for a stroll down the Long Walk to the docks. We continue to our hotel in Westport, where we stay for the next two nights.

The sightseeing tour of Derry will commence by coach, giving an overview of the city before we continue on foot around the walls. Ireland’s only completely walled city – there is over 1,450 years of history locked into its 17th century walls. We enjoy a stroll along part of the walls, ending in the city centre. From the walls you will view the murals, which are a reminder of key events within Derry’s more recent history.

Well planned, and organised. Had excellent Tour Manager, and Coach Driver, who between them, kept us safe, comfortable and had such a breadth of knowledge, local information about their country, expressed with gentle humour. They were a great team, 5 stars all the way. Learnt so much about a very beautiful country, and everyone we met so welcoming, including the Irish Prime Minister!

my flight was delayed and further delay with luggage. By the time i came out there was no rep present.and had to ring a centralised tel number customer service and it took ages to get things sorted. i wish i had been given the tel number of our personal tour guide . . so i could get in contact with him directly instear of calling a centralised number. and i also think all the tour guide should have our personal numbers to call incase long delay at airport 2 nd points there are too many optional excusions and some of this should be part of the normal visits. otherwise it was a great holiday. we had a grear tour guide and a driver on this trip

Second holiday with Leger and it all worked well. The Grand Tour of Ireland was a great trip, the scenery was beautiful and I saw everything I wanted to. Both the driver and tour guide were excellent and made a great team with banter and plenty of laughter. Hotels were good and the coach was very nice - clean and cared for. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend and would book another trip with Leger.

We enjoyed this trip, although a few small things detracted from the experience.Our tour guide Michael & driver Patrick were wonderful, always pleasant & helpful & made the trip very worthwhile. The hotels where fine although the meals in the 1st hotel was not up to a good enough standard.
