Taste of Dublin Escapade

Upon arrival, meet your driver for a private transfer to your selected hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure. This evening, you may consider an Irish Pub for live entertainment and local folk music.

This morning, your guide will walk you through the streets of Dublin, discussing with you all aspects of Irish history, from the influence of the American and French Revolutions to the Potato Famine, the 1916 Rising and The Troubles. Your tour will also include a visit to Trinity College and the famed Book of Kells as well as Dublin Castle. After lunch (not included), you will discover the history of one of the world’s most famous beers. The dramatic story of Guinness begins over 250 years ago and ends in Gravity, the sky bar, with a complimentary pint of frothy brew and panoramic views of Dublin. (B)

Today, consider a full-day optional tour to Connemara and Kylemore Abbey. Described by Oscar Wilde as a “savage beauty,” lush greenery surrounds traditional, rural Irish life. Within the hills of Connemara resides Kylemore Abbey, a Benedictine monastery and castle founded for nuns. (B)
