10 Day Irish Road Tour 2027
Welcome to our 10 day Irish Road Tour. We are almost booked out for 2026, but we have availability for guided tours - you book your own accommodation and we’ll take you there. As with our 7 Day tour, this is only a recommendation because you decide the length of your tour and the level of accommodation you wish to enjoy. Whatever you choose, the tour begins and ends in Dublin and throughout you will be staying in great locations and savouring unique local pubs and restaurants. Our mission is to give you the best possible experience and an unforgettable holiday. Please contact us via email to discuss your vacation. Please note: this is a unique itinerary and we can modify the tour to include Northern Ireland, and a trip to Skellig Michael.
Day 1
We begin our Irish Road Tour with a panoramic tour of Dublin. Some of the highlights include O’Connell Street and the GPO, The Custom House, Trinity College, Christ Church, St Patricks Cathedral and Áras an Uachtaráin (residence of our President). We head out of Dublin to visit Newgrange for a guided tour of this prehistoric monument that predates the Pyramids. Overnight in Dublin.
Day 2
We take the road north to Donegal, stopping on the way to visit Trim Castle, Built by by the powerful Hugh de Lacy, in 1172, it’s one of the best preserved Norman castles in Ireland. We continue on and visit beautiful Glenveagh National Park. Overnight in Co. Donegal.
Day 3
By now you will have realised there is something special about Donegal (incredibly, it’s absent from most tour company maps!). The day will be packed full of secret locations and astonishing sights as we zig zag inland and around the coast to Sliabh Liag, the highest sea cliffs on the mainland. We want to keep some of our locations secret so we can’t say any more than that! We overnight again in Co. Donegal.
Day 4
We slowly move south, pausing for a coffee at Drumcliff to visit the resting place of W.B. Yeats. We make for Cong in Co. Mayo (home of The Quiet Man). After lunch we take the road to Connemara where we will visit Leenane (we’ll tell you about The Field over a pint in Gaynors), Killary Harbour and the impossibly romantic Kylemore Abbey. We overnight in Galway, also known as City of the Tribes, where you can visit one or two of our favourite pubs for traditional Irish music.
Day 5
We continue south to the wilds of County Clare and the Burren National Park. We will visit Poulnabrone Dolmen, one of Ireland’s most iconic archaeological monuments, and a secret location via a secret faerie wood (you think we’re joking?). We wind our way down the coast to the iconic Cliffs of Moher and afterwards head south to cross the mighty Shannon estuary by ferry. Check into the lively town of Killarney for the night.
Day 6
This is the day for the Dingle Peninsula and the epic Slea Head Drive. Along the way we visit famine era cottages, 2500 year old Dún Beag Fort and Ionad an Bhlascaoid Mhóir - the Blasket Centre. And you might just spot the film location of Ryan’s Daughter, Star Wars and Far and Away! The Dingle Peninsula would not be complete without a stop at the enigmatic Gallarus Oratory before we take you to Brandon Creek where Brendan the Navigator set off to discover The Garden of Eden. Overnight in Killarney.
Day 7
Time is going too fast at this stage but we must move on to County Cork, and we get there via the magnificent Ring of Kerry . We always include a secret location, and we have a few tricks up our sleeves to avoid the masses. Overnight in Killarney.
Day 8
We head to Co. Cork and Blarney Castle, where you will have the opportunity to kiss the famous Blarney Stone. After lunch we take a whiskey tasting tour of the famous Jameson Distillery at Middleton. Overnight in the famousl coastal village of Kinsale.
