It is a rare feat to be able to say that a vacation gets better every day but we think we have achieved it with this tour. It is rarer still when you consider that you start your trip in Galway – the highlight of a trip to Ireland for many people!
Continue on to the unmatched Ashford Castle where you will get to explore Connemara and relax in the luscious surrounds of the castle itself. Then it’s deep into the Donegal wilderness mid-trip. These are they days you get lost in the rural countryside before slowly reintegrating with three nights in two of the country’s capital cities. The first of these is Belfast, where you will learn of its Titanic history, before continuing on to Dublin to end your adventure.

All hotels and accommodations included in your trip are carefully selected to meet a 4-star standard or higher. While we occasionally book 3-star hotels or B&B properties, they must meet our high standards of quality and comfort. To ensure consistency, we strive to have a team member visit each property regularly or conduct a thorough site inspection.
Round trip flights to the tours destination are not included, but we are happy to provide you with a flight quote for your trip along with travel protection for the duration.
While booking flights may seem simple, hidden fees and service classes that exclude seats, meals, or bags are common. Since 1985, our expertise and exclusive contracts allow us to secure better routes and often better prices than what’s available online.
We would be happy to help create a custom itinerary for you before or after your time in Ireland, if you’d like to extend your trip.
Your first vacation quote, and up to two revisions, for trips of 9 or fewer days, and 45 days in advance of travel, are complimentary. If an itinerary requires further revisions subsequent to this, we will require a non-refundable deposit of $75 per person in order to continue.
If you are requesting a quote for a vacation that is 10 days in length, or with travel dates within 45 days, or to a non-core destination, a deposit of $75 per person will be required in order for us to begin working on your proposal.
Planning deposits can then be put towards the cost of the trip should you decide to proceed with the booking.
