Depart the United States and enjoy your overnight flight to Europe.

March 30 - When Irish Eyes are Smiling! Welcome to Dublin, a city of remarkable contrasts and contradictions! Traditional old pubs complete with a “snug” stand next to modern

bars of pale wood and aluminum and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the distinct smell of hops from the Guinness brew-

ery. Upon your arrival in Dublin, you’ll be met by your private driver/guide who will assist you with the transfer to your castle hotel, yes

tonight you stay in a genuine Irish castle! The remainder of the day is at leisure and you may opt to explore the magnificent grounds of

“your” castle. This evening, you are invited to a reception where you will enjoy music played by an acclaimed Irish harpist, as you savor

your welcome-to-Ireland drink and Irish stew - an exclusive to us!

Overnight: Dublin (Irish coffee, Irish stew and Irish harpist)

March 31 - A Castle Today! Drive south to Kilkenny today, one of the most medieval cities in Ireland, for a guided tour of Kilkenny Castle. This was the residence of the powerful Butler family for almost 600 years beginning when the 3rd Earl of Ormonde purchased it in 1391. In 1967, the 6th Marquess of Ormonde presented this magnificent castle to the people of Kilkenny for a token payment of £50. The Picture Gallery Wing is a delight and today is home to part of Ireland’s National Art collection. Your next stop is the famous Waterford Crystal Factory where you will have time to watch crystal pieces being created as well as browse in the gift shop. You check into your hotel for the evening and then meet in the lobby for an exclusive walking tour of Waterford.

Your tour includes national monuments, cathedrals, and a whole gallery of rogues, rascals and reprobates! This light-hearted mixture of history and hilarity has won numerous awards and you’ll be laughing as you listen to your guide with his delightful Irish brogue! Afterward, enjoy dinner in the hotel dining room.

the steps of fabled Blarney Castle to kiss the famous “Stone of Eloquence.” Built over 600 years ago, it’s one of Ireland’s greatest

treasures! There is time to enjoy the beautiful gardens of the magical castle with 60 acres of avenues, waterways and arboretums! You will

Visitors have been drawn here since Victorian times and as you travel the winding coastal road you’ll understand why. This mountainous,

lake-splattered region is undeniably scenic and you won’t tire of the eternal beauty of the Irish landscape! After a full day marveling at

shades of green, return to your hotel with some time on your own. This evening,your TRIPS guide will take you to visit one of

Killarney’s famous “singing” pubs, where you will experience traditional Irish music. Most tours will take you to a “touristy” venue, but

their ancestral songs. This is a delightful way to connect with the Irish people on their own turf, while getting a taste of authentic

Irish culture!
