Trafalgar

Explore Dublin with a Local Specialist, passing elegant Georgian squares, O’Connell Street, the Custom House and Trinity College. The tour introduces the compact capital through its architecture and streets, from formal eighteenth-century facades to the bustle of the city centre.

Enjoy a whiskey tasting at a local distillery and discover a craft closely tied to Irish food and drink culture. The tasting adds a flavour of contemporary Dublin to the city’s historic landmarks.

Meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers over drinks and a welcome meal in Dublin. This hosted gathering offers a chance to get acquainted and hear about the places and experiences that shape the journey across Ireland.

Conversation and shared food give the evening its character. It is an introduction to the convivial atmosphere of the tour, rather than simply a meal at the end of a sightseeing day.

Discover Belfast from a dedicated Black Cab with commentary from a local cabbie. Travel through the city’s streets while hearing an insider’s perspective on the people, places and events that have shaped its recent history.

The cab format makes this a particularly personal introduction to Northern Ireland’s capital. Stories from someone who knows the city bring context to its changing neighbourhoods and to the legacy of division visible in Belfast today.

Explore Titanic Belfast, the visitor attraction beside the slipways where RMS Titanic was built. Its exhibitions trace the ship’s construction in the city’s shipyards, its maiden voyage and the disaster that followed in the North Atlantic.

Discover how Belfast’s industrial ambition produced one of the world’s most famous ocean liners. The setting in the historic Titanic Quarter connects the passengers’ stories with the shipbuilders and the city that launched her.

Join the Cole family at Broughgammon Farm near Ballycastle for a hosted introduction to farm life and a meal of local favourites. Meet your hosts in their own setting and experience the hospitality behind Trafalgar’s Be My Guest visit.

This is more than a lunch stop: it is an opportunity to connect food with the people and countryside that produce it. The family welcome offers a personal perspective on rural life along Northern Ireland’s north coast.

Walk among the interlocking basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway on Northern Ireland’s Atlantic coast. Around 40,000 columns form a striking shoreline of steps and angular stones, created by volcanic activity and shaped by the sea.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site also belongs to Irish legend: folklore credits the giant Finn McCool with building a path across the water. Geology and storytelling give the same landscape two compelling ways to explore it.

Walk with a Local Specialist inside Derry/Londonderry’s seventeenth-century city walls. See the Gothic Guildhall and Georgian houses of Shipquay Street while learning how the walled city’s historic centre developed.

View the Bogside murals and hear how they depict events associated with the Troubles. The contrast between the preserved walls and the neighbourhood’s more recent history makes this a layered introduction to the city and its communities.

Visit the Belleek Pottery Visitor Centre to watch craftspeople at work. See how skill and careful finishing contribute to the delicate ceramics for which Belleek has been known since the mid-nineteenth century.

One of the world’s oldest working potteries, Belleek links a small border village to a craft recognised far beyond Ireland. Watching the makers gives a clearer sense of the time and precision behind the finished pieces.

Travel through Connemara’s loughs and mountains on a scenic drive across one of western Ireland’s most distinctive landscapes. Visit Kylemore Abbey, its turreted Neo-Gothic building set against the mountains beside a lakeshore.

Explore the abbey and ramble through its Victorian walled garden. Originally a private estate, Kylemore became a home for Benedictine nuns who fled Belgium during the First World War, giving its romantic setting a deeper human history.

Walk the Cliffs of Moher with a conservation specialist and take in views from cliffs rising more than 200 metres above the Atlantic. Learn how coastal wildflowers support birdlife, including the red-billed chough, and how local communities are connected to this landscape.

Explore the Atlantic Edge exhibition to understand the forces that shaped the cliffs and the seabirds that nest here. This MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience brings conservation into focus alongside the coastal scenery.

Cross the Shannon Estuary by ferry, taking in views of the broad waterway as it opens towards the Atlantic. The crossing offers time on the water amid the coastal scenery of western Ireland.

The Shannon is Ireland’s longest river, and its tidal estuary has long connected riverside communities with the sea. From the ferry, the scale of the water and its surrounding shores becomes part of the experience rather than just a route between places.

Follow the Ring of Kerry around the Iveragh Peninsula on a scenic coastal drive. Look out for Killorglin, known for its annual Puck Fair, the fishing village of Waterville and mountain scenery near the Black Valley and Moll’s Gap.

The route brings together Atlantic shoreline, small settlements and rugged uplands in a single sweep of County Kerry. Cahirciveen also recalls Daniel O’Connell, the nineteenth-century political leader whose name remains closely associated with the area.

Visit Blarney Castle and see the famous Blarney Stone, set high in the castle’s battlements. Those who wish to take part can kiss the stone, a tradition said to bestow the gift of eloquence, or the Irish “gift of the gab”.

The medieval stronghold gives the custom its dramatic setting: reaching the stone involves leaning back with assistance at the top of the castle. Folklore and historic stonework make this a distinctly Irish landmark visit.

Visit the House of Waterford Crystal to see master craftspeople demonstrate how crystal pieces are made. Watch the precision involved in creating the finely worked objects for which Waterford is known, and browse the crystal showroom.

The workshop visit places finished designs alongside the skilled hands and techniques behind them. It is a close look at a craft that has become closely identified with the city, rather than a showroom visit alone.

Explore the Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience in New Ross with a Local Specialist. Step aboard a replica nineteenth-century emigrant ship to learn about the difficult voyages undertaken by people leaving Ireland during the Great Famine.

The ship gives physical scale to a defining chapter of Irish migration history. In the port town, see the John F. Kennedy monument, which marks his 1963 visit to the hometown of his ancestors and adds another connection to Ireland’s emigrant story.

Explore the Inishowen Peninsula on an optional excursion from Derry/Londonderry. This northern County Donegal landscape offers a chance to discover more of the area’s scenery and rich history beyond the city.

Inishowen’s coastal setting and long-settled communities add another perspective to a journey through Ireland’s northwest. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; the precise route and stops are not specified in the itinerary.

Experience a traditional Irish céilí in Killarney, an evening centred on music, dance and craic—the easy conversation and good humour that accompany a lively gathering. It offers a social way to encounter Irish performance traditions.

Céilí music and group dancing have long brought communities together. Whether watching the dancing or joining the atmosphere, you can enjoy a different side of Irish culture from the landscapes and landmarks of the tour. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.
