      Day 1: Start Dublin

      Cรฉad mรญle fรกilte, meaning one hundred thousand welcomes, is what you get in this city packed with heritage, character, and more cute pubs than you could crawl in a week. Meet up with your Trip Manager this afternoon, then meet your new travel squad for dinner and then end the day with a lively night of festivities at the cobbled lanes of Temple Bar.

      Thatโ€™s us done with Dublinโ€ฆfor now. But fear not Dub-lovers, weโ€™ll get another taste of this fine place before our trip comes to an end. Break up your coach hangs with some bicycle time in a city sure to leave you wanting Irish in your blood. Explore the castle, a cathedral and take in all of the medieval charm that Kilkenny has to offer before we hit the road again for County Cork. Welcome to vibrant County Cork! But not before the chance to sample some of Irelandโ€™s famous whiskey at the Jamesonโ€™s Distillery in Midleton. Yum! Even when the skies are grey, County Cork is covered in color and good vibes.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: County Cork To Galway

      Hopefully you exhausted all of your cork puns yesterday, as today we are moving on, sightseeing our way to 2-nights in Galway. Irish folklore tells us thereโ€™s a chunk of limestone built into a castle that grants its kissers the gift of the gab. Pucker up kids, weโ€™re paying her a visit! Whether heights are your cup of Irish Breakfast or not, these impressive cliff faces are not to be missed! From the moment we arrive in Galway, youโ€™ll understand why 2 nights were needed here. Everything youโ€™ve dreamed Ireland to be is tucked into this small, atmospheric city. Step into a local pub and down Irish stew over live music and chats with locals. Outside will be just as lively, with buskers & colorful buildings lining the streets.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Galway
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Galway

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Galway To Derry/Londonderry

      Goodbye Galway, hello more Irish eye-candy. Here the 17th century walls stand at 8 meters high speaking of times gone by when this area was in battle. Times may have changed, but weโ€™re still keen to soak up the history and learn a thing or two from our wise Local Guide.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Derry/Londonderry To Belfast

      Today weโ€™ve got a one way ticket to Belfast and a whole lot more exploration to do. UNESCO World Heritage site of the Giantโ€™s Causeway - also known as those giant rock columns youโ€™ve probably drooled over on Pinterest, needs to be seen to be believed. Get those hashtags ready, a snap with the group is essential on the mind-blowing natural formation. Next up - weโ€™ll arrive in Belfast. Concluding the day will be a driving tour and a trip to the Titanic museum where the worldโ€™s most famous ship was built.

      Day 7: Belfast To Dublin

      With one night left in Ireland and on tour, weโ€™re on the fast track to Dublin where our Irish fairytale first began. A promise is a promise.

Use this second stint to do your missed critical activities such as visiting the Guinness Storehouse where you can learn how to pull a pint the Irish way.
