Similar to the comforting blend of a classic Irish coffee, crafted with hot java, Irish whiskey, brown sugar, and fresh whipped cream, this introductory tour of Ireland seamlessly mixes the most invigorating sights, serene landscapes, and charming accents of the Emerald Isle. Unfolding in a loop from Dublin to the west coast and back, first-time visitors will be stirred by the vivacity of the bustling capital city, captivated by the dramatic scenery along the fabled coast, and soothed by the lush rolling hills across the verdant countryside.

Expect to feel a sudden surge of inspiration as you try your hand at crafting limericks and baking scones on an Irish sheep farm in Galway. Enriched with authentic local experiences and visits to dream-worthy sights, including the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, the majestic Ring of Kerry, and the renowned House of Waterford Crystal, this tour of Ireland offers the perfect respite from the daily routine.
