Itinerary
Your tour begins at the Molly Malone Statue
Meet your guide at Dublin's iconic Molly Malone Statue, a bronze tribute to Ireland's unofficial anthem. Settle into a comfortable air-conditioned coach for the scenic drive west across the country to the Atlantic coast.
Travel west to Connemara
Cross into Connemara, a rugged Gaelic-speaking region of bogs and lakes on Ireland's western edge. Watch wild ponies graze beneath the Twelve Bens, a sweeping mountain range, as your local guide shares stories.
Cruise Ireland's only fjord at Killary Harbour
Board a small boat for a 1.5-hour cruise on Killary Harbour, Ireland's only true fjord. Glide past mussel beds and the steep slopes of Mweelrea, the tallest mountain in Connacht province. In winter, a visit to a charming Killary sheep farm replaces this cruise.
Snap photos at romantic Kylemore Abbey
Next travel by coach to Kylemore Abbey, a 19th-century neo-Gothic castle and one of Ireland's most romantic estates. Built in 1868 as a husband's love token, it reflects across a still lake framed by forested hills. Take beautiful photos of the exterior before moving on.
Wander Galway's bohemian Latin Quarter
Then roll into Galway, a lively harbor city nicknamed the City of Tribes after its 14 founding merchant families. Take a guided walking tour through Galway's Latin Quarter. Then during free time, explore medieval streets lined with painted pubs, traditional Aran wool sweaters, and Irish Claddagh rings.
Your tour ends at the Molly Malone Statue
Settle back in the coach for a relaxing drive east through Ireland's green countryside. Arrive at the Molly Malone Statue in central Dublin with memories of fjords, abbeys, and Galway's painted streets to take home.
