slide Day 1Independent Exploration in Dublin
Explore Dublin independently onboard the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus tour and see this vibrant city of Georgian squares, bustling pubs, and the River Liffey. Choose a visit to one of Dublin's top attractions using your voucher: the Guinness Storehouse, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Jameson Distillery Bow St. Experience, or the GPO Museum. You are free to explore the restaurants and pubs of the city center, or return to your hotel, for independent dining as you wish.
Enjoy a free morning in Dublin for further independent sightseeing. Depart from your hotel at 2:00 PM for a panoramic tour of Dublin city center. Visit the award-winning Teeling Distillery in the heart of the historic Liberties. When it opened in 2015 it was Dublin's first distillery to open in 125 years. Return to your hotel for a welcome drink and then visit Taylors Three Rock for dinner and an evening of Irish music and dance. (B, D)
Relax and enjoy the farmlands of the picturesque midlands. Savor farm life as you visit a traditional farm; enjoy homemade scones with tea, and watch trained dogs show off their skills herding sheep. Visit Blarney Castle to kiss the famous "Stone of Eloquence" or explore the tranquil gardens. Travel through Macroom and into County Kerry where the scenery becomes more mountainous. Arrive in the charming town of Killarney. (B, D)
Discover the glorious Dingle Peninsula; the rugged coastline provides some of Ireland's most spectacular vistas. Visit the Blasket Centre, a fascinating museum exploring the lives of the community who occupied the nearby Blasket Islands until 1953. Travel to Slea Head at the westernmost tip of the peninsula for awesome views of the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy an evening of traditional Irish entertainment at Muckross Schoolhouse. (B, D)
Take a traditional horse-drawn jaunting car through the Killarney National Park to Ross Castle and Kenmare Estate. Visit Moriarty's in the Gap of Dunloe, a CIE Tours preferred shopping partner. Stop in the picturesque village of Adare, with its thatched cottages and colorful garden, then on to Limerick for a panoramic tour. Dine at a medieval-style feast, where lords and ladies will serenade you with songs and music from days of yore. (B, D)
Travel along the coast of County Clare to the spectacular Cliffs of Moher, soaring 700 feet above the churning Atlantic. Drive through the austerely beautiful landscape of the Burren on your way to Galway. Join a local guide in Galway for a walking tour of this thriving historic city; see its charming medieval streetscape, filled with small local shops, cafes, and many street musicians.

Cliffs of Moher

"From the ancient ring forts, castles, the history of the Irish people and all they have endured, the landscapes, the craic pubs, to the absolutely breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, this trip was exquisite in every way possible. I would highly recommend CIE and I am looking forward to my next trip with them."

2024 Best of Ireland South (Tour C) - 7 Days/6 Nights.

Our Driver/Guide Mike was great. He handled the coach so well we never felt unsafe. He was very organized and kept us right on schedule. He kept us entertained with lots of information about the areas we were passing thru as we drove around the country. The itinerary was excellent. We saw most of the places that we had wanted to see when searching for a trip. The hotel accommodations were all great. 4/5 star hotels. We were given breakfast and dinner every day but the final evening we had to get our own dinner. The food was top notch. It was a perfect first visit to Ireland.

We missed our first day due to airline delays but felt like we didn’t miss a beat when we met up with our group the next day. A great diverse group that made our time there fantastic!
