This is a great value, fun-filled all-inclusive tour, unique and very different from other tours of Ireland.
We are staying in spectacular carefully selected "destination" hotels, in great locations. We are visiting the best sights, some very famous, and many hidden gems and local favorites. Our trip agenda also leaves time for exploring the local community, visiting local sights, pubs and more. If you love the hotel and local town, you have the option to skip our tour agenda, enjoy our awesome hotels, and explore the local area yourself!
The sightseeing agenda includes the following and more:
Killarney - Tuesday & Wednesday
Killarney is considered one of Ireland’s most charming, picturesque, and welcoming towns. Killarney remains one of the top tourist destinations for both Irish and international visitors. We will enjoy exploring the local town and all it has to offer!
Blarney Castle - Thursday
A well-known favorite for many decades. The Castle was built in 1446 as a defensive fortress. The castle which stands today is in fact the keep of a much larger fortress. Kiss the famous Blarney Stone, high up on the Castle battlements and tradition holds that you'll be endowed with the gift of eloquence - "the gift of the gab" as the locals call it.
Cruise with lunch on Killary Fjord - Monday
Enjoy our cruise as we have lunch (included), a great way to take in the dramatic sweep of this magnificent landscape. We pass between the Twelve Bens and the Maam Turk mountains to the South, in County Galway; and the Mweelrea mountains to the North in County Mayo, as well as the views out to the Atlantic at the mouth of the fjord!
The Ring of Kerry - Wednesday
Another traditional must-do tour via Killorglin, Glenbeigh, Cahersiveen, Waterville, Coomakesta Pass with its magnificent views over Derrynane, home of Daniel O'Connell, known as "The Liberator" to Caherdaniel.

The interactive session offers a unique insight into the age-old practices of sheep farming, featuring a variety of sheep breeds. This immersive experience, set against the stunning backdrop of County Kerry, is a highlight for visitors and a must-see attraction you'll surely adore!
Ferry crossing: Killimer → Tarbert - Tuesday
The Shannon Ferry will take us on this memorable journey across the estuary linking the iconic tourist destinations of the Banner County of Clare to the Kingdom of Kerry. This is a lovely experience where we relax and sail across the majestic Shannon Estuary. And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the dolphins, which sometimes swim so near the ferry, as if just to entertain you.
Cliffs of Moher - Tuesday
One of Ireland's favorite visitor experiences, the Cliffs of Moher tower over the rugged west Clare coast.
Walk the safe, paved pathways and view the magnificent cliffs along Europe's western frontier, with spectacular vistas across the Atlantic Ocean and toward the Aran Islands.
Their natural beauty has inspired artists, musicians, and poets for generations, as well as absorbing scientists and geologists, drawn by the unique landscape in which they sit.

Enjoy exploring beautiful Galway, a harbor city on Ireland's west coast where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean. The city's hub is 18th-century Eyre Square, a popular meeting spot surrounded by shops and traditional pubs that often offer live Irish folk music. Nearby, stone-clad cafes, boutiques and art galleries line the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter, which retains portions of the medieval city walls.
Magnificent Connemara! - Monday
We tour the magnificent loop of Connemara via Oughterard & Maam Cross before traveling up the spectacular Inagh valley with the 12 Bens of Connemara on our left and the Maumturks on our right as you travel to Leenane. From the breathtaking scenery of the hills and bogs before we reach Leenane village, the scenery changes as we return toward Galway to some beautiful coastal scenery. We return to Galway via the beautiful quaint town of Clifden.
Kylemore Abbey & Victorian Walled Garden - Monday
The story of Kylemore - both Castle and Abbey - is a truly remarkable one. The twists of fate which its occupants experienced, from moments of romance and happiness, to sadness and courage have all combined to create a fascinating history spanning over 150 years. Kylemore is home to a community of nuns of the Benedictine Order who came here in 1920 after their abbey in Ypres, Belgium was destroyed in World War I.
Settling at Kylemore, the Benedictine Community began restoring the Abbey, Gothic Church and Victorian Walled Garden to their former glory.
