7 Day / 6 Night Irish Road Tour 2027
Welcome to our 7 day Irish Road Tour. We are almost booked out for 2027, but we are taking bookings for guided tours only. This is where you take care of the accommodation and we do the rest. The following is only a recommendation as you will 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 suggested itinerary only - we can modify the tour to include Northern Ireland, or a visit to some of our islands such as Skellig Michael, Great Blasket or Cape Clear Island,
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). And no tour of Dublin would be complete withourt a visit to the Guinness Storehouse. Overnight in Dublin,
Day 2
Today we head west and visit the ancient monastery of Clonmacnoise. We travel on to Galway where you will have free time to enjoy the pubs, restaurants and shops of this vibrant town. Overnight in Galway.
Day 3
After a hearty Irish breakfast, we head off to tour Connemara. We’ll visit Killary Harbour and Leenane, before making our way to the impossibly romantic Kylemore Abbey (read an account of this in our blog here). We will return to Galway via the quaint village of Cong in Co. Mayo (home of The Quiet Man). Overnight in Galway
Day 4
Today we head south to the wilds of County Clare, where we will visit The Burren, one of Ireland’s most unique geological sites. We’ll take in a secret locations, via a secret faerie wood (you think we’re joking?), before we wind our way down the coast to the iconic Cliffs of Moher. From there we will head south and cross the mighty Shannon estuary by ferry. Overnight in Killarney.
Day 5
Today we tour the magnificent Ring of Kerry. Our tour will include an off-the-beaten-path route and exciting lunch stop. Overnight in Killarney.
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. He found America (we say), and the feasibility of his trip was proven by Tim Severn who sailed from the very same creek in 1976. More of that on tour. Overnight in Killarney.
