Ireland is a small nation – only slightly larger than the state of West Virginia – but only in terms of land mass. Everything can be found on this enchanting island, and this eight-day tour will introduce you to the best that this one-of-a-kind country has to offer.
Take a walk through Dublin, the country’s capital and greatest city, where you’ll feel an intimate connection to the men and women who lived and laughed and loved here. Soak in the south, as you walk the spectacular gardens at Powerscourt and shop for fine crystal at Waterford. Get lost in the beautiful countryside in County Kerry, and witness the mighty collision of sea and shore up and down the entire length of Connacht and Munster.
The lush green valleys and the sharpstone of Celtic crosses; the tranquility of a country estate and the pounding pulse of an Irish pub band at full bore; the finest food and drink, and the friendliest people: all of it can be found in this singular country of poets and warriors, lovers and rogues. Erin awaits with open arms; there’s never been a better time to embrace her.
