Treasures of Ireland End Shannon
6 Day Ireland Sightseeing Tour to Dublin, Waterford, Ring of Kerry and Cliffs of Moher
Blaze a trail and tick off the Treasures of Ireland on this quick jaunt around the Emerald Isle, including stops in Dublin, Cork and Cobh, Titanic's final fateful stop. Learn all about Viking history, kiss the Blarney Stone and watch in wonder as the idyllic Ring of Kerry unfolds.
Put a little Irish spring in your step and stroll through the lyrical capital of Dublin – your springboard to an unforgettable jaunt through the treasures of Ireland. Join a Local Specialist this afternoon to explore the city's iconic sights. Walk the cobbled courtyard of Trinity College and enjoy priority access to see the Book of Kells. Then, enjoy a Welcome Reception to get to know your fellow travellers.
Departing Dublin this morning, we journey to the peaceful monastic ruins at Glendalough which survived repeated Viking attacks over the centuries. We'll Dive Into Culture, watching the master craftsmen of the House of Waterford Crystal as they create delicate works of art. Our final stop today is the 'rebel' city of Cork, where we'll have a free evening to enjoy a little Irish craic and soak up the lively atmosphere of this university city. Our Stays With Stories accommodation is the historic Maldron Shandon Hotel. Originally Cork's first general hospital opened in 1720, the building has a colourful history that has seen it survive wars, political upheaval, fire and demolition threats before it opened its doors as a grand hotel.
Tonight, we'll travel by coach to a local pub for an evening of Irish entertainment with local musicians/singers including a good hearty Pub Supper.

Felt this trip was a great value for all of the locations we visited
This is my second time booking this same tour and they still found ways to add new stops to make it just as exciting as the first time (3 years ago). Even during a pandemic I felt very safe. They did a fantastic job making sure we all wore masks on the bus and they made sure we were sitting in every other row to provide safe distancing on the bus. Can’t say enough about Peter’s knowledge and professionalism.
Would definitely recommend them to othersFirst class service from Caroline Nolan who work for Brandon to us. She’s knowledgeable she’s kind she’s Very efficient and homework. This is a direct reflection on Trafalgar because obviously they picked her as one of their employees.
Frances our tour guide was incredible! So knowledgeable,,helpful and a joy to be with. The tour was incredible, we did all the added events and they exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend to friends, family etc..
