5-Day Spectacular South and West small group Tour of Ireland

We kick off our journey with a visit to the thousand-year-old Rock of Cashel, a stunning chapel, palace, and cathedral all in one. From there, we head to Cork, a city brimming with rebellious spirit. Our next stop is the famous Blarney Stone, where you can test the legend of gaining eloquence with a kiss. We wrap up the day in the historic town of Kinsale, where you can explore its picturesque streets, dine at award-winning fish restaurants, and enjoy local music at lively pubs.

After a hearty Irish breakfast, we embark on a guided historical tour of Kinsale before setting off to explore parts of The Ring of Kerry. We'll cycle around Killarney National Park, marveling at glacier-shaped lakes, mystical waterfalls, and red deer. The day concludes in the charming town of Dingle, where you can mingle with locals at the lively Dick Macs pub.

We bid farewell to Dingle and head north, crossing the Shannon by ferry. Our first stop is the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, where we'll embark on a two-and-a-half-hour hike along the dramatic coastline. As the day draws to a close, we'll settle in Doolin, known as the home of Irish music. Here, you can tap your feet to traditional tunes and enjoy the vibrant local atmosphere.

On the final day of our tour, we say goodbye to Doolin and head to the bohemian city of Galway. We'll traverse The Burren, a vast limestone landscape, before embarking on a guided tour of Galway's medieval streets. We'll also hit the foodie trail, sampling local delicacies like treacle scones and fresh Clarinbridge Oysters. After a day of exploration, we'll return to Dublin, where you can choose to extend your stay or continue your journey elsewhere.
