After arriving in Dublin Airport and meeting your driver, you’ll spend the first day exploring Dublin city. Drive through the city, stopping to visit Trinity College, Christchurch Cathedral and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, three buildings closely intertwined with Irish religion and spirituality. See the Book of Kells and explore the underground crypts of Christchurch, an interesting and enlightening experience.
Head towards Wexford today, where you’ll get to experience the fabulous Wicklow Mountains National Park, home to Glendalough. Glendalough is famed for its monastic site and round tower, symbols of the strong belief in religion in 6th century Ireland. Afterwards tour the gaol in Wicklow, before attending Mass in a local church.
Today is devoted to exploring Waterford, beginning with a visit to Waterford Crystal where you can learn more about the crafting process and maybe buy a souvenir! You’ll also visit Our Lady’s Island, a sacred and beloved place of pilgrimage in Ireland. You’ll take a tour of the island and the guide will arrange for a Mass to be said for you. Depart for Waterford City afterwards.
Make a move for Kerry today, beginning with a visit to Blarney Castle. Kiss the famous Blarney Stone and tour the castle grounds before moving on to Millstreet, where the Tubrid Holy Well resides. The well is incredibly important to the Catholic community of the area, and legend has it a fish appears in there on occasion! Afterwards, travel on to Killarney, a charming town in Kerry, where you are free to explore and eat.
Explore the wonderful scenery of Killarney as you drive around the famous Ring of Kerry. The road winds between the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Ireland’s highest mountains, and the varied Atlantic coast. Take some snaps at Torc waterfall and stop for a stroll through Muckross Friary.
Founded in the 15th century, this Franciscan friary is preserved to a high standard. It was built using local limestone. Overnight in Killarney, Bed & Breakfast Included.

The Benedictine monastery sits on stunning grounds, surrounded by streams, trees and greenery. You are free to spend the day getting in touch with your spirit – sit in on Mass and other services before leaving for Ennis in Co. Clare for your next overnight.

Move on to the fabulous Cliffs of Moher, a must-see Irish attraction, before finishing up with a trip to The Burren.
Travel to Knock in Co. Mayo, the National Marian Shrine of Ireland. Knock is famed for its apparitions of Mary, and is a wonderful place to tour and explore. Afterwards you may take a trip to Croagh Patrick, another important pilgrimage for Irish Catholics thanks to its connection with St. Patrick, our patron saint. Overnight will be spent in Mayo.
It was on the summit of the mountain that Saint Patrick fasted for forty days in 441 AD and the custom has been handed down from one generation to the next. Overnight in Mayo, Dinner, Bed & Breakfast Included.

Hi.
My name is Ed short for Edgar. Mixed blood of Latvian and Ireland
I have lived in Mullingar town for most of my life. Traveling around the country is my favorite pass time activity, I have been to many places, and love to explore all the nooks & crannies of Ireland. The beauty of Ireland's landscape is unbelievable sometimes you feel like in a different country. From the serenity of the walk at Glendalough to the humbling feeling of being beside Cliffs of Moher is truly amazing to experience.
When I travel throughout Ireland the hospitality is the one thing that stood out most! Cork is my personal favourite as the people are so nice and welcoming my highlight was the Titanic experience where you feel like one of the passengers who are about to board the ship from the heartbreak pier that still stands to this day.
In Ireland you will always get the warmest welcome in any B&B. My other hobbies are cooking horse riding and fishing. I can’t wait to share the experiences with you for your Trip of a lifetime to this amazing Green Isle.
Sláinte (Cheers)

Hey, my name is Donna and I'm from the town of Mullingar in the Heart of Ireland.
One of my passions is exploring and from my experience, Ireland is a beautiful country to explore. I have so many recommendations but for newcomers to Ireland I definitely opt to send you to Westport for Croagh Patrick & Clew Bay, perfect for hiking scenery and beautiful seafood,
My favorite place in Ireland is Galway City - I love going for a meal with my friends, followed by a stroll down the cobbled streets, before popping into one of the Traditional Irish Pubs like An Púcan.

Hi, I’m Rita and I am living in Kilkenny, the Marble city.
Born in Portugal, I fell in love with Ireland from the moment I landed here. I intended to stay for 6 months, and 6 years after I just cannot imagine my life without the Irish ‘craic’.
Working in Events & Tourism for the last years has been so rewarding - bringing people to see all the magical, undiscovered spots in this country is what I wake up for every day. I have made memories that will last a lifetime, and I work towards creating the same experiences for others visiting the Emerald island.
My favourite place in Ireland is probably the Dingle Peninsula, where bumpy roads bring the Atlantic ocean and green mountains together. The seafood is just as brilliant as the landscape, which I couldn’t forget to mention, being the foodie that I am!
You could say I am biased when I pick Kilkenny as one of my other top spots - I just can’t get enough of this lively mediaeval city branded by its hospitality.

Hi my name is TinaMarie, I have been working in Travel for over 15 years now and still love it as much as when I just started. There is something very special about bringing people to Ireland because we live here we take pride in our wonderful little country and want the whole world to experience what we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep.
Without a shadow of a doubt my favourite county and city in Ireland is Galway simply due to the dual aspect living you can have in this area the beauty and serenity of the Connemara countryside and the diverse cultural living of Galway city. Come and see firsthand how friendly and welcoming the Irish people are , Stop waiting and make the trip of a lifetime!

Hey! My name is Sinéad. I'm from Longford, the heart of the midlands. I'm a countryside girl at heart, depsite living in the capital for a few years while studying. I love the hustle bustle of Dublin city centre, there's always so much going on and so much to do. Although, you can't beat the tranquility of the Irish countryside in my opinion!
Apart from my hometown, one of my favorite place in Ireland has got to be 'The Kingdom' (Kerry). The scenery is just unparalleled. From the idyllic wild Atlantic coasts to our selection of well-known mountain ranges, and everything in between. The ring of Kerry is definitely a must see, the nightlife is pretty great too!!
On my weekends I love to cheer on my local Gaelic football teams. I'd definitely recommend catching a GAA match on your travels!

Hi, my name is Jessica,
I'm from the town of Mullingar, known as the hidden heartlands of Ireland. Travel is my passion, every weekend I try to visit a few different counties here in Ireland and also explore new and exciting countries. Unfortunately there is just not enough time to visit everywhere I want too on our beautiful island of Ireland, Naturally the next best thing is to help make others dreams come true with the trip of a lifetime to our fair isle!
My two favorite places in Ireland is Galway and Kerry. They are full of great culture, food, scenery, and of course many traditional Irish pubs!! There is always a great lively buzz no matter what time of year you visit.
I look forward to working with many of you in the near future to offer my knowledge, guidance and support for your trip of a lifetime.

Hey!
My name is Ronan and I'm from Mullingar (the heart of the Midlands). I have a passion for travelling and have been all over the world. However, my most favourite place in the world is the west of Ireland along the Wild Atlantic Way. From seeing Basking sharks in Keem bay in Achill Island (Mayo), to having a lovely relaxing pint of Guinness in Salthill in Galway, to taking in the majestic Cliffs of Moher in Clare and kayaking alongside dolphins in Dingle bay (Kerry) - it's all just amazing. Oh, and not to forget the delicious Skellig chocolates while looking out at Skellig Michaeal in Kerry, yum!
I love all things sport and food - when I'm not travelling around Ireland I'm cooking up a storm in the kitchen and watching some local GAA (our national sport). I can't wait to help you out and make your trip to Ireland, the trip of a lifetime!
Céad mile fáilte mo chara - (A thousand welcomes my friend).
