Kilkenny & Killarney
Kilkenny
Enjoy a morning at leisure exploring the town of Kilkenny located on the banks of the river Nore. Kilkenny was once the medieval capital of Ireland and is now home to some interesting castle ruins and landmarks. After free time to explore we head into Co. Tipperary and to the town of Cashel where we pause for lunch. From here we continue through Co. Cork and into Kerry to the famous town of Killarney. Here there will be the opportunity to join an optional jaunting car ride as the Tangney family welcome you on board their pony and trap rides.

Day 3
Dingle Peninsula
Tralee
Tralee is the gateway to the Dingle Peninsula which we explore today on our included excursion. We begin with a scenic drive around the peninsula. The area has provided a backdrop to many films, including the 70s film ‘Ryan’s Daughter’. Each turn provides spectacular views of long, sandy beaches, breathtaking steep cliffs and hidden bays. The peninsula is dominated by the range of mountains that form its spine, running from the Slieve Mish to Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second highest peak. Around lunchtime, we arrive in Dingle where you will have free time to explore this quaint town.
- Included meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 4
Adore & the Cliffs of Moher
Adare
We leave our hotel today and make our way north to the Galway area for an overnight stay. En route we pause at Adare, often described as Ireland’s prettiest village. With its thatched cottages, art and craft shops and its fashion boutiques, it’s easy to see why it has gained this reputation. From Adare we head to the spectacular Cliffs of Moher in County Clare (weather permitting). We include entrance to the excellent Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience. Be sure to take your camera as the views from the 700-feet high cliffs are simply breathtaking. We continue to the Galway area for an overnight stay.
- Included meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 5
Galway & Dublin
Guinness Storehouse, Dublin
We start the day with a short visit to Galway, ‘City of Tribes’. Discover the beautiful beaches, long winding promenade, cobbled streets and colourful shop façades. We then head east to Dublin where our optional sightseeing tour will introduce you to this fascinating city. Our informative guide will show you the main sights such as the Trinity College, St Patrick’s Cathedral, The National Art Gallery and the Four Courts. There will then be free time for you to explore all Dublin has to offer. Perhaps pay a visit to the Guinness Storehouse should you wish to pay homage to Dublin’s most famous drink (entrance not included). Sit back, relax and enjoy a panoramic view of Dublin from its glassed Gravity Bar. We stay overnight in the Dublin area.

Frequently asked questions about accommodation
If you prefer, then you can join the tour at the hotel. To do this, we will require a copy of your passport for identification purposes and you must advise us at the time of booking.
No reduction will be given if you should choose to do this.
We are unable to guarantee that the hotel will be able to meet your dietary requirements. We find that the majority of European countries do not generally cater for vegetarians and that the meal supplied may well be what everyone else is having minus the meat.
We will of course endeavour to arrange for a vegetarian meal at the hotel. We do however suggest that you advise us of your dietary requests at the time of booking and recommend that you speak to the receptionist on arrival with regard to your request.
