The excursion takes travelers on a journey to the Killarney, Connemara and Burren National Parks, where travelers will encounter views of the region’s lakes, mountains, bogs and valleys, and spot red deer, goats, wild horses and butterflies. At Caheronnell, travelers will experience a private sheepdog demonstration to watch humans and dogs work hand in hand to maneuver sheep around vast fields.
Other highlights of the trip include the Ring of Kerry route, which circles the Iveragh Peninsula, and the Cliffs of Moher stretched along West Clare’s coast. During a private walking tour of Dublin, a guide takes travelers back to the 13th century starting with the Dublin Castle originally built to defend the city. From there, the tour meanders by the city hall on the way to the Trinity College Library to discover artifacts on display such as the Book of Kells. The excursion takes travelers on a journey to the Rock of Cashel, an archeological site perched on a small rocky ridge. The expedition explores the round tower, Gothic cathedral on site.
Travelers will also visit the Blarney Castle, where they will kiss the Blarney stone to obtain the ability to speak fluently and persuasively according to folklore tales. The journey continues to Adare Village, home to quaint churches, old thatched roofed cottages, and the Adare Castle.
Culinary affairs in Ireland are never just as simple as the food. From location to atmosphere, the Irish know how to turn food into an unique experience.
