Description:

Make the most of southwest Ireland as you visit its premier city, provincial towns, and quaint villages. Immerse yourself in Irish heritage as your guide provides historical perspective on the many sights you take in. Absorb the imposing coastline and inspiring mountains on your Irish adventure.

Cross the “Emerald Isle” by train as you journey from Dublin to Cork. Here, board the coach and make the short drive to Blarney Castle—a medieval fort that houses the Blarney Stone, the kissing of which is said to bring the gift of eloquence. Armed with your new ability, proceed back into Cork for a short city tour and a trip to Cobh to hear more of the region's rich maritime history.

After a short train ride you arrive in Killarney—a charming town where your bed and breakfast awaits. Make time to enjoy the town’s vibrant atmosphere in the evening. Day 2 brings the famous Ring of Kerry as you drive the famous coastal road with Dingle Bay on one side and some of Ireland’s highest mountains on the other.

A second drive on day 3 takes you out on the Dingle Peninsula to take in Dunmore Head, Ireland’s most westerly point and an area of stunning natural beauty. Drive back to Killarney and board the train for your evening return to Dublin.
