Tour Overview

The northern nooks and regal Republic – see it all on this nine-day adventure on both sides of the Irish border. Travel through green pastures, vast lakes, striking cliff faces by day, and by night, head straight to the pub for a Guinness (or two). Visit medieval castles and ancient sites filled with folklore and marvel at the views of Ireland's rugged coastline, including the Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher and the Giant's Causeway. While exploring Belfast, Dublin, Derry and Galway, don't forget to gather your travel crew for some pub grub and live music to cap off a trip that hits all the hotspots.

Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Explore Ireland’s natural wonder, the Ring of Kerry, and see farmers in action with a sheep farm visit and herding demonstration.

  • Scramble around the clustered pillars of Giant's Causeway on your way to Derry and decide for yourself if it’s a natural phenomenon or the work of giants, as legends say.

  • Take a ferry to the Aran Islands, which have been crafted by centuries of wild winds and smashing waves and visit ruins along the rugged coastline from the Bronze and Iron Age with your local leader.

  • Learn about Bloody Sunday from those who were directly affected by it on a tour of Derry Bogside. As you walk, you’ll hear the story, retrace parts of the original march and visit places where the dead and wounded fell.

  • Dive into Dublin's energetic nightlife, where it’ll feel like there’s a pub on every corner. Check out its creative neighbourhoods, brimming with hip bars and trendy eateries and join your fellow travellers for a pint of Guinness (or two!)
