While nearly every Irish town and village has its own collection of pubs to choose from, it has to be said that some places have more than their fair share. This Irish Pub & Folk Tour will help you discover these pub locations that are well-known for their great atmospheres, superb fare, plentiful drink and of course great traditional Irish music. Your tour will begin in Kilkenny which is regarded by many as Ireland’s top pub destination and end in Dublin which is famous not only for its bustling nightlife but also for the many wonderful historic buildings and museums that are dispersed throughout the city. As you travel from each location you will find inspiring scenery and many historically significant sites and buildings that will make your trip to Ireland unforgettable.
On arrival at Dublin Airport meet with your experienced Irish driver/guide who will transfer you into Dublin city and for a panoramic tour of Ireland’s capital city including visits to Trinity College Library and the Book of Kells exhibition before enjoying some time shopping around the famous Grafton Street area.
