My wife and I were blessed to have a wonderful tour guide who shared his expansive knowledge of Ireland. He shared personal stories, read poems and sang to our group all along our journey. We also had a terrific driver who was super experienced and professional. We felt extremely safe with him behind the wheel. All things considered, it was a near perfect trip.

Many cities and sights covered in the 10 days! Excellent and experienced tour guide. Well worth it. All hotels are high quality. The one suggestion would be to select optional activities carefully. Whatever you choose will be added on to an already packed day. If you are looking for time to explore on your own or to enjoy the quality hotels you are paying for, it may be wise to pass on some of the extra optional activities.

Have you never heard of an Irish half-hour? It can stretch for days, and that's what you'll experience on this exciting 10-day guided road trip along the Antrim Coast, through the Wild Atlantic Way.
Starting at the medieval Rock of Cashel and continuing to the food hub of Co. Cork, Kinsale, we kick off our this ultimate tour with the best of the best. From there, we leave the rebel county and venture into the wooded hills of Killarney National Park. Take in sights like Moll's Gap and tour towering castles before hitting the town with the greatest 'craic' (fun)—Dingle! Stop by Foxy John's Hardware store, now serving creamy pints of Guinness, or try some fresh local catch at the award-winning Fish Box.
Visit Ireland's most famous spot—the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher—before heading to bohemian Galway to dance in the streets, and then explore the Aran Islands. Heading north, you'll arrive in Co. Donegal, one of the most breathtaking places on Earth. Spend an evening in the Donegal Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area), where you'll be speaking a "cúpla focal" (a few words of Gaelic) in no time. From there, it's on to Derry, the last walled city built in Europe. Walk in the footsteps of Fionn McCool at the Giant’s Causeway, where a volcanic eruption created this Wonder of the World 60 million years ago. And look—could that be Jon Snow in the 'dark hedges'? We'll head to the iconic beech trees to find out.
Then, it's full steam ahead to The Titanic Experience in Belfast, an award-winning interactive journey about the world’s most tragic ship. Finally, we end with a visit to the ancient Newgrange before returning to Ireland's big smoke, Dublin.
Along the way, between the heritage and culture, there’ll be ceol agus craic (music and fun), Red Snapper and John Dory, stout and uisce beatha (whiskey), and an epic road trip you’ll never forget.
