Welcome to Dublin, a city where literary legends and friendly locals guide you through charming streets lined with history. On your private half-day Dublin Walking Tour, visit Trinity College to marvel at the illuminated Book of Kells, then stroll through Georgian squares and Viking-era lanes. Later, indulge in Ireland’s pub culture with a Perfect Pint Tour & Food Pairing Experience, where a local expert introduces you to the subtle complexities of Irish beer, paired with local bites in authentic pubs.
Dublin to Cork via Kilkenny
Explore Kilkenny Castle, a stunning Norman stronghold, and enjoy time wandering through the city’s craft shops, charming cafes, and historic alleyways. Afterward, continue to Cork where culinary culture and coastal charm await.
With your local True Trips guide, explore Cork’s historic core and then head to nearby Cobh, once the final port of call for the Titanic and a gateway for Irish emigration. Visit heritage centers, colorful seafront houses, and learn about the powerful stories of Ireland’s past.
The following day, explore the dramatic beauty of West Cork. Meander through the gourmet town of Kinsale, then follow the coast through Clonakilty, Bantry, and Skibbereen, all the way to the tranquil village of Kenmare.
Enjoy a full-day tour of the Ring of Kerry, one of Ireland’s most scenic drives. Travel through dramatic landscapes dotted with lakes, rugged coastlines, and charming villages like Sneem and Waterville. Learn about ancient stone forts, Gaelic traditions, and the region’s unique biodiversity from your local guide. On your way to Galway, pause to explore Killarney National Park, with time to visit Muckross House & Gardens or take a jaunting car ride past lakes and waterfalls.
Begin your stay with a scenic day trip to the Cliffs of Moher, one of Ireland’s most iconic natural wonders. Towering 700 feet above the Atlantic, the views are simply unforgettable. Return to Galway for a private walking tour through this lively university town, full of street performers, local artisans, and centuries of history. The next day, board a ferry to the Aran Islands for a guided pubs, food, music & heritage tour.
