Classic Ireland Tour

🧭 Trip Overview

Ireland’s best stories aren’t found on a coach tour. They’re found in a quiet monastery on the banks of the Shannon, a farmer’s yard in Connemara, or a castle hall in a medieval town.

This journey takes in the island’s essential landscapes, from Georgian Dublin to the wild Atlantic coast, the lakes and mountains of Kerry and the medieval heart of Kilkenny. It’s travelled at a pace that leaves room to linger, with a private driver-guide, handpicked stays and every entrance arranged in advance.

Every journey is built around you. The route below is our classic, but each day can be shaped to your group’s interests, whether that’s a round of golf on a famous links, an afternoon tracing your family roots, or a private whiskey tasting.
