Southern Adventure
Private escorted tour | 10 days | Start any date
This tour takes you on a journey of discovery along the spectacular Atlantic coasts and through the green and fertile heart of Ireland.
You will visit castles and great houses, museums and art galleries, ancient monasteries and fortresses, explore medieval cities and tiny villages, all in the company of a friendly and knowledgeable guide who will be happy to answer your questions.
We saw Ireland as the Irish rather than as tourists, never feeling “locked in” or constrained in any manner.
Our discovery tours move at an easy pace, allowing you plenty of time to truly experience the places you visit. We keep unpacking and repacking to a minimum, with two or more nights spent in most places, so that you have ample opportunity to relax in your hotel and to enjoy dining and evening entertainment in each location.
