day 1Dublin/Cork

Rolling hills speckled with picturesque villages, and a unique culture featuring a vibrant undercurrent of myths and music, the Emerald Isle will not disappoint. Say hello to Dublin before being whisked away, moving deeper into the its lush, green heart. You’ll stop at the Rock of Cashel before readying your sea legs for a ferry ride to Spike Island where you’ll be regaled in tales told by a local storyteller.
Travel from Dublin to Cashel this morning. Witness the striking monument silhouetted against the sky, proudly standing since the 13th century. Stand where laymen once stood, in archways lined with centuries old frescoes, and imagine how life used to be in this incredible complex. Continue on to Cobh for lunch, then board the ferry for Spike Island, an important piece of Irish history, having served as a prison and military fortress. Said to be Ireland’s Alcatraz, Spike Island hosted thousands of prisoners before hosting thousands of likeminded tourists, eager to learn of its complicated history. Enjoy free time on the island before returning to the mainland for an optional dinner in the evening.

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.
