Planned Itinerary:
July 2018 - 10 Days/9 Nights
July 10 - Day 0 - Fly from Dayton to a major US airport. Dinner and breakfast served on the flight.
July 11 - Day 1 - Land in Shannon, Ireland and meet our private coach driver/guide. Enjoy a brief tour of Shannon then off to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burrens. Take a ferry out to get a breath-taking view only seen from the sea. Lunch on your own at the visitor's center. Then it is in to Galway for a city tour. We will have a Welcome dinner in the evening.
July 12 - Day 2 - After a hearty Irish breakfast, you have some options. Spend the day exploring Galway or take in a full day of Galway Fringe Festival. Lunch and dinner on your own.
July 13 - Day 3 - After breakfast, we travel south toward Limerick. We will have some exploring time. This is a compact city on the Shannon River. Plenty of food, pubs, shopping, and medieval architecture. We will travel on through Southern Ireland country and end the evening in Waterford. Lunch and dinner on your own.
July 14 - Day 4 - In the morning, after breakfast, we will tour Waterford Crystal seeing the fine crystal and international trophies they are known for. We will tour the nearby Famine Ship and get the full experience of the conditions during the great migration to the US. Also nearby is the Waterford Medieval Treasures Museum. Or it could be an optional day to explore Waterford at your own pace. Lunch and dinner on your own.
July 15 - Day 5 - After breakfast, we say goodbye to Waterford and head towards Cork. Along the way we will stop at the famous Blarney Castle and visit the famous Blarney Woolen Mills. Our driver/guide will give us a city tour before we check into our hotel in Cork and spend the evening exploring the pubs.
July 16 - Day 6 - After breakfast we will have some free time to explore Cork. After lunch on your own, we travel on along the southern coast with scenic stops along the way. Our stop that evening will be in the village of Killarney, nestled at the base of Killarney National Park.
July 17 & 18 -Day 7 and 8 are full of possible group and optional adventures. The Park could be a drive and hop-off day seeing beautiful sights. Dunloe offers a strange yet enchanting landscape to hike. Skellig Michael (of Star Wars fame) is nearby via a ferry. Rare birds including Puffins are plentiful in this area. Another possible day trip would be to have the coach take us out on the Dingle Peninsula. There is also kayaking and surfing available. As always, guests could stay in town and explore Killarney
July 19 - Day 9 - Return to Shannon. Celebrate a great trip with a farewell banquet at Bunratty Castle after visiting Heritage Village Park or nearby Durty Nellie's Pub.
July 20 - Day 10 - Fly home out of Shannon exhausted, but with a smile on your face! :-)
