Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

Stunning scenery, pretty villages, ancient sights, and exciting cities—this Britain and Ireland tour offers all of this and more. Your tour starts in Dublin, Ireland’s fun capital; ends in London, England’s exciting capital; and overnights along the way in Ennis, Killarney, Tramore, and Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Highlights of this tour include the 668-foot Cliffs of Moher on Ireland’s west coast, where you’ll marvel at breathtaking views of rugged cliffs dropping into the ocean, and the Ring of Kerry, a 100-mile panoramic drive through magnificent landscapes. You’ll revel in the views of the sparkling seascapes, hills dotted with brightly painted farmhouses, winding lanes, and views of the Lakes of Killarney. Words cannot capture the magnificence of these natural beauties; you must witness them in person! Also enjoy drives through rich dairy farmland. Stop for photos in Adare, founded in medieval times and known today as one of Ireland’s friendliest and prettiest villages. In fact, its streets are still lined with the original thatched cottages from the 1820s. Another tour highlight is prehistoric Stonehenge. You’ve seen photos of Stonehenge—now’s your chance to stand in front of it and try to figure out how these stones weighing 4,000 pounds got there. Visit Bath, famous for its Roman baths used for socializing and bathing 2,000 years ago. Also enjoy stops in Blarney and Galway. In both Dublin and Cardiff, an orientation drive familiarizes you with the cities. In London, you’ll have time on your own to explore or to take optional excursions. From the vibrant cities to the quaint villages and gorgeous scenery, this value-minded tour through Britain and Ireland is sure to delight all of your senses!

Great trip. Lacking air conditioning in a few hotels was the only issue.

The trip was amazing. Our tour guide, Paul, was wonderful. We would love to do another trip with him. We wish there would have been a little more time for some sights such as Blarney Stone. Once you stood in the line for 45+ minutes there was not time for much else. Overall, however, we loved it all.

The tour guide, Camile, and the driver John were wonderful. The knowledge of Ireland that she provided was excellent. I would book with her again. Thank you.

Guide was very good, informative. The Apollo Centrum in Amere was not very good: dirty floors, needed more light. Staff seemed new and not used to questions.

I had a wonderful time and felt I received a tremendous value for the $$ spent. The hotels were very nice, the meals were excellent. The Tour Director was very knowledgeable in the local history and was very helpful in guiding us to the most interesting sights and places along the way. The coach driver did an excellent job. Not sure how he navigated those narrow passages especially around the Ring of Kerry but he did expertly. I can't say enough about the entire experience including flying Virgin Atlantic. What a fabulous airline. Even the staff aboard was professional and courteous. Hats Off!

We enjoyed every aspect of this trip. The locations, hotels, food, clean and comfortable bus and especially our tour guide. He was excellent and very knowledgable. It was a very pleasant trip and we didn't want it to end!

Very impressed with the tour guide. His knowledge and information and the ability to pass it on the passengers was entertaining and enlightening. Always pleasant and able to answer most questions immediately or in short order. I would definitely book again. Thanks for a "grand craic". (the weather was sad a few days but the spirits were high)

Fantastic Trip. Felt like Royalty.
