Summary

Meet your host and begin your trip on a train ride to Cork. From there, travel by coach to Blarney Castle and take the opportunity to kiss the famous stone and explore the village of Blarney. Stop for lunch (own expense) in town before heading back into the city of Cork for a short walking tour. Next, transfer to the harbor town of Cobh and visit the Queenstown Story Heritage Center to learn about the role the port played in the stories of the Titanic and the Lusitania. When ready, head back to Cork station and take the train to Killarney, where your bed & breakfast (with en suite facilities) awaits. The evening is yours to relax or take a stroll of the historic town. After a full Irish breakfast (included), spend the following day enjoying the rolling hills and rugged coastline on a Ring of Kerry scenic drive around the Iveragh Peninsula. Admire Dingle Bay and the Lakes of Killarney before being dropped back in Killarney for another night in your bed & breakfast. On your final day, visit Limerick City and stroll the streets on a short walking tour, then continue on to the 15th-century Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. Afterward, head into the village of Doolin for a pub lunch (own expense), then onto the Cliffs of Moher, Black Head, and the Burren and Galway Bays, before returning to Dublin later that evening.
