14 Night 5 Centre Self Drive/Chauffeured Tour of Ireland
Overview for 14 Night 5 Centre Self Drive/Chauffeured Tour of Ireland
 
Overview


   

This tour can be accessed from any of Ireland's International airports although ideally entering and departing via Dublin would be the easiest option. This 5 Centre Tour is perfect for the traveller who prefers to explore the countryside from a number of bases rather than switch accommodations every night or two. The tour will allow the customer a greater amount of time to get to know the areas in which they are residing and of course the locals that reside in those locations. One of the greatest advantages of the 5 Centre Tour is that you will undoubtedly feel considerably more rested at the end of the tour than someone who has taken the alternative 8 day tour where they stay in each location for just one or two nights.

Your first journey will depend on your airport of arrival, whether it be Dublin, Shannon or Cork. For this itinerary, we will be using Dublin airport as the starting point. This 14 night tour will enable you to visit Ireland’s most famous sights including Trinity College and Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, Powerscourt House & the Waterford Crystal Factory in the South East, Blarney Castle and the Cobh Heritage Centre in Cork, Killarney and the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher and the ‘Burren Landscape’ of County Clare and Galway Bay and the Aran Islands in the west of Ireland. From there travel north to County Donegal via Sligo (or Yeats County) and into Derry in Northern Ireland to visit the wondrous Giants Causeway back towards Dublin and on route you may wish to visit Ireland's most popular attraction, the ancient Megalithic Tombs at Newgrange, just 45 minutes north of Dublin. This tour will leave the traveller with a wonderful array of memories of the diverse scenery and cultural differences that they will encounter from one side of the country to the other. While the accents and dialects of the spoken word will vary greatly while journeying from County Dublin in the east of Ireland to the western counties of Cork, Kerry and Clare, the one unchanging constant will be the level of friendliness, humour & welcome that you receive throughout your travels.
