Day 1 Arrival in Dublin Airport, where you meet your Lynott driver/guide for a 10AM departure for Galway. Enjoy the relaxed pace of Ireland, known for its bogs and turf fires, rich farmlands and scenic countryside. On arrival in Galway, enjoy a guided walking tour of the city with expert local guide. Stay in Galway for 2 nights.
Day 3 Make your way to Ireland’s most iconic natural beauty: the Cliffs of Moher and unique Burren region. Stop in quaint Doolin (a great spot for some food), and then visit the Cliffs of Moher. Stretching along the Atlantic coast, the highest point at O’Brien Tower is 214 meters above sea level. On a clear day, you can see the Aran islands etched on the waters of Galway Bay. Visit Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, the most complete and authentic mediaeval castle in Ireland. Bunratty Folk Park is a living reconstruction of the homes and environment of Ireland of over a century ago. Stay in Adare in a traditional Irish country hotel.
Day 4 Travel to Killarney, with ample time to explore the famous Dingle Peninsula. Described as “the most beautiful place on earth” by National Geographic magazine, much of the peninsula is a Gaeltacht – an area where the Irish continues to be the daily language of the people. Enjoy spectacular sea views, and the rich archaeological heritage, including ancient beehive huts and Gallarus Oratory. Stop in Dingle town, before continuing out to Slea Head, the most westerly part of Ireland. At Dunquin, visit the Blasket Centre and learn about the traditional island life and literary legacy of the unique community who lived on the remote Blasket Islands.

Day 5 Explore Killarney National Park, a magical and magnificent wilderness and take a traditional horse drawn jaunting car. Time free to relax or explore quaint Killarney town. This evening, enjoy some traditional music in a local pub.
Day 6 We are off to Blarney, known not only for its castle, beautiful gardens, including a fairy garden, but some of the best shopping in Ireland. Travel through landscapes of the rarest green, where herds of black and white cows peek from every hill. We’re heading to Co. Kildare, where we enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea at Newbridge. Enjoy classic afternoon tea with homemade sandwiches, cakes, and scones presented on a vintage tea service before settling in to our castle accommodations at Barberstown Castle this evening.
