North of Ireland Escape (Kanx)

Embark on a journey to the enchanting and historic “Emerald Isle” with a guided tour of Ireland. Delight in the beauty of green valleys and sweeping seashores, away from the hustle of the busy travel season. Your adventure commences in the charming city of Dublin, where you’ll marvel at statue-lined O’Connell Street, explore elegant Georgian squares, and catch glimpses of Trinity College and St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Leave the urban buzz behind as you venture into Ireland’s picturesque countryside, making a stop at Rathbaun Farm to learn about sheep-farming practices and try your hand at scone baking in the farmhouse kitchen. Travel west to Galway, a colorful harbor city with vibrant shops, cafés, and traditional pubs. Pass through Westport, Donegal, and Letterkenny on your way to Northern Ireland. Take a guided walk on Derry’s Old Town walls and witness the awe-inspiring Giant’s Causeway, a natural formation of massive interlocking basalt columns along the seashore.

Enjoy a two-night stay in Belfast, exploring the capital city of Northern Ireland, including the fascinating Titanic Experience. On your return to Dublin, make a stop in Carlingford, a town on the Cooley Peninsula known for its oyster farms, medieval buildings, and 12th-century King John’s Castle. Conclude your guided tour in Dublin, where you’ll appreciate the beauty and history of Ireland even more without the crowds of the high season. This affordable and guided Irish vacation promises a memorable escape.
