About this trip
A 9-day coach tour that loops right around the island of Ireland, starting and finishing in Dublin. You cross the border freely between the Republic and Northern Ireland, taking in cities, coastline and countryside as you go.
The route runs from Belfast and the Giant's Causeway up north, down through Donegal and Connemara to Galway, then along the west coast past the Cliffs of Moher and the Dingle Peninsula, before heading back east through Kilkenny.
It is a fully guided group trip built around covering a lot of ground and a lot of well-known sights, with a coach doing the driving between stops.
