What's this trip about?

    Ready, set, adventure! Explore four amazing cities in six unforgettable nights. From historical castles and churches, to scenic natural wonders, to lively pub-filled streets, the Emerald Isle is a world of its own. Experience the warmth of Irish hospitality, and collect stories and photographs to share with friends and family back home!  Upon arrival in Dublin, you'll hop in your rental car and journey to Kilkenny, your first destination. This medieval city is known for its century-old churches, castles, and monasteries! Next, drive to Killarney for picture-perfect natural beauty. Explore Killarney National Park on your own, then relax in a comfortable motorcoach during your included Ring of Kerry tour! This group tour is a great opportunity to meet other tourists traveling in the area.  Your next two nights will be spent in Ireland's "most Irish city" - Galway! Hear Gaelic spoken as you weave through picturesque streets lined with shops and brightly-painted pubs. During your stay in Galway, you'll want to take a day trip to the stunning Cliffs of Moher for your included admission! Craving some more scenery? Drive to nearby Connemara National Park, about 90 minutes from Galway City.  This Irish journey ends with one last night in the capital city of Dublin. Sightsee through the streets and explore iconic cathedrals, historic distilleries, and traditional pubs! Wander along Grafton Street, lined with shops and local street performers.
