About this trip
This 8-day small-group tour moves at a relaxed pace through Ireland's best-known landscapes and a fair few quieter corners, covering over 1,100 km from Dublin out to the Wild Atlantic Way and back.
You'll take in Ireland's Ancient East and the Ring of Kerry, with days built to leave room for wandering rather than rushing between stops. Expect a mix of guided sightseeing, local stories and free time in each place.
It suits travellers who want the big Irish landmarks without a packed-to-the-minute itinerary, including families and groups travelling together.
What you'll do
- Visit Glendalough Monastery and medieval Kilkenny
- Walk in Killarney National Park and explore Dingle
- Stand atop the Cliffs of Moher and visit Doolin
- Join a farm experience in the Burren
- Wander Galway City and Kylemore Abbey in Connemara
- See Blarney Castle
- An easy-paced itinerary — built for unwinding as much as sightseeing
- Fully guided throughout, with transport, entrance fees and accommodation included
- A private version of this tour is available for friends or family groups wanting more flexibility
Worth it if you value a relaxed pace, hands-on experiences, and a driver who becomes part of the group. Think twice if hotel quality matters more than the guide.
- Driver becomes a genuine friend; goes out of his way for dietary needs, room preferences, physical requirements.
- Activities are genuinely interactive: falconry, sheepdog demos, farm visits, Irish coffee masterclass, not just viewpoints.
- Last-minute driver changes late in trip; a couple of hotels fall short of the rest of the experience.
- Eight days feels unhurried with built-in free time; small group means the mix of people directly shapes your trip.
