Tour Itinerary

Escape to the beauty and history of the “Emerald Isle” on your guided tour of Ireland. Enjoy your getaway into the green valleys and sweeping seashores without the large crowds or costs of the “busy” travel season. You’ll begin in the fair city of Dublin. Admire statue-lined O’Connell Street, Dublin’s main thoroughfare, and elegant Georgian squares with their red-brick townhouses and colorful doors behind the wrought-iron fences.

On your way to Northern Ireland, pass through Westport, Donegal, and Letterkenny. Then, enjoy a guided walk on Derry’s Old Town walls, and visit the amazing natural formation of the Giant’s Causeway—massive interlocking basalt columns that dramatically extend across the seashore.Spend two nights in Belfast, with plenty to see in Northern Ireland’s capital city, including the fascinating Titanic Experience.

Questions & Answers

Question: When is the best time of year to travel Ireland

May to October is a great time to visit Ireland.

Question: Any way to waive the minimum age requirement? Daughter will be 6 at time of trip.

Unfortunately the tour operator will not allow us any exceptions to the minimum age, as we are not the ones operating the tour.

Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?

Each person is allowed one "check-in," and one "carry-on." Remember to take all valuables with you as "carry-on", because electronic equipment, cameras, laptops, jewelry, business documents and money are not covered by the airlines' liability, so always carry them aboard with you.

Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?

Airfare from your point of origin to and from the trip is not included in the land price.

Great trip. Enjoyed everything.

The tour was excellent. It was the highlight of 2022 for us.

2 out of 4 hotels were very good two were not

Was a great trip, would go again. Our tour director was awesome and the driver was very friendly and helpful.

Our tour director (Bob) and driver (Joe)) we're truly outstanding. The itinerary was great. Highly recommend.

Best tour ever. Hotels were wonderful, guide and busdriver were exceptional.

Hotels were not in tourist friendly locations, there was not much walking distance. Many other people on the tour agreed that Gate 1 has better hotels locations and better tour overall

Enjoyed the North of Ireland trip very much. Well organized, from the time of booking to the end everyone involved was a joy to work with.

wonderful trip - a bonus was that much of the travel in the coach was not on the motorway, so we saw areas we had not seen before
