We do a "highlights tour" of Dublin by coach on our way to the Guinness Storehouse. You'll tour St. James Gate Guinness Brewery, wander the Storehouse and enjoy a pint of Guinness.

Later, you can spend the afternoon exploring Dublin on your own: St. Stephens Green for a stroll through the gardens, Grafton Street for lots of shopping, the Temple Bar area for excitement, and Trinity College that houses the Book of Kells. Dinner at our hotel.

Hotel: Camden Court Hotel

Dublin

Grafton Street

We head to Tullamore Dew Distillery where you travel through one man's vision leading to the global brands of Tullamore Dew Whiskey and Irish Mist Liqueur. The centre is situated in the distillery's original 19th century bonded warehouses.

Next up is Cobh Heritage Centre in Cork where the story of Cobh's unique origins, its history and legacy are dramatically recalled in The Queenstown Story. Explore the conditions on board the early emigrant ships and learn about an "Irish Wake" and its connection to the ill-fated Titanic and Lusitania ships.

Then we visit Middleton Whiskey for a tour and tasting to journey through the history of Irish whiskey known as the "Water of Life." The distillery started life as a woolen manufacturing business in 1796. Dinner at our hotel.

Cork Golf Club

Today you can chose to play golf at the Cork Golf Club or to enjoy Blarney Castle with a Kiss-the-Blarney-Stone experience as well as the Blarney Woolen Mills for some of the best shopping in Ireland.

(If you want to play golf, you must sign up before June 2012). Dinner at our hotel.

Hotel: Blarney Castle Hotel
 

Blarney Woolen Mills shops

We make our way to Killarney where you can explore the village on your own: take a jaunting cart ride, visit the shops, or have lunch before we go to the Dingle Peninsula, which was made famous by such movies as Ryan's Daughter and Far & Away.

See the long sandy stretches of Inch Strand beach and admire the views across the bay. The film Playboy of the Western World was shot entirely at Inch. Dinner is at our hotel.

Dinner is at our hotel

Hotel: TBD
 

Cliffs of Moher

Thoor Ballylee

Roundstone

We head to Thoor Ballylee, summer home to Yeats, which has become his monument and symbol. It satisfied his desire for a rooted place in a known countryside where he lived with his life-long friend Lady Gregory. Living in a tower perhaps complemented his alignment with a tradition of cultivated aristocracy which he envied and with a leisured peace which he enjoyed.

Next we head to Galway for a couple of hours exploration on your own: Lunch perhaps?

Then we head to Roundstone, a beautiful fishing village, and Clifden, which is the largest town in Connemara. Dinner is at our hotel.

Hotel: Renvyle House Hotel
 

Galway

You have a free day with several options:

--The hotel offers many free amenities to enjoy, such as 9-hole golf links, fly fishing, relaxing, croquet, snooker, swimming in their pool, lawn bowling, waling tours, learning a little tune, or sitting in front of a turf fire with a good book.

Or, you may tour Kylemore Abbey and its beautiful gardens.

Later, you can join others in the bar area before dinner for a little get-together and possibly some picture taking. Dinner is at our hotel.

Hotel: Renvyle House Hotel
 

Renvyle House Hotel

Renvyle Golf Course

Kylemore Abbey

Connemara Marble

Ennis

We head to Connemara Marble. For three generations, the Walsh families have worked the beautiful, green marble that is unique to Connemara in the West of Ireland. Their quarry at Lissoughter in the Connemara Mountains first opened in the 19th century. In 1903, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra visited it during the Royal Tour of Connemara. Today, the marble of Connemara can be found in many of the world's great monuments.

Next, we make our way to Rathbaun Farm where you will journey through Irish farming practices and have a wonderful, homemade lunch. We may even talk The Dady Brothers into a song or two!

Afterwards, we head to our hotel in Ennis with time for you to repack and to get ready to depart in the morning. Dinner it at our hotel.

Hotel: Old Ground Hotel

Old Ground Hotel
