Time spent in each place (in days)
DAY 1:
Arrive Dublin
Dublin
Céad míle fáilte, meaning one hundred, thousand, welcomes is what you get in this city packed with heritage, character, and more cute pubs than you could crawl in a week. Meet up with your Trip Manager this afternoon, then meet your new travel squad for dinner and then end the day with a lively night of festivities at the cobbled lanes of Temple Bar. Guinness, anyone?
Dublin
DAY 2:
Dublin to Cork via Kilkenny
Dublin
That's us done with Dublin…for now. But fear not Dub-lovers, we'll get another taste of this fine place before our trip comes to an end.
Kilkenny
Break up your coach hangs with some bicycle time in a village sure to leave you wanting Irish in your blood. It's a castle, a cathedral & mountains of medieval charm before we hit the road again for Cork.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Guided bike tour of Kilkenny
GBP 18.00
Cork
Welcome to vibrant Cork! But not before the chance to sample some of Ireland's famous whiskey at the Jameson's Distillery in Middleton. Yum! Even when the skies are grey, Cork is covered in colour and good vibes. Stroll the River Lee or grab your first Guinness in the comfort of a pub, if you didn't get your hands on one in Dublin.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Jameson's Whiskey Distillery tour
GBP 16.00
DAY 3:
Cork to Galway via Blarney and Cliffs of Moher
Cork
Hopefully you exhausted all of your cork puns yesterday, as today we are moving on, sightseeing our way to 2-nights in Galway.
Blarney
Irish folklore tells us there's a chunk of limestone built into a castle that grants its kissers the gift of the gab. Pucker up kids, we're paying her a visit!
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit Blarney Castle
Cliffs of Moher
If heights aren't your cup of English Breakfast, you best sit this one out. Spine tingling, nail biting cliff faces are there to tremble at for those without fear.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
See the Cliffs of Moher (weather dependent)
Galway
From the moment we arrive in Galway, you'll understand why 2-nights were needed here. Everything you've dreamed Ireland to be is tucked into this small, atmospheric city. Step into a local pub and down Irish stew over live music and chats with locals. Outside will be just as lively, with buskers & colourful buildings lining the streets.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Galway Walking Tour
DAY 4:
Galway
Galway
Try your tongue at some Gaelic and carry on exploring gorgeous Galway. Or, if you hear the call of the wild, you can sign yourself up to a ferry ride to Aran Islands (summer departures only) where you can dance around with horses and take a bike ride around the picturesque farms, or head up to Dún Aonghasa (the ruins of a prehistoric fortress) - make sure you take photos, this area is not for the faint-hearted! Irish life, you so sweet.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Boat ride to Aran Islands (summer only)
GBP 28.00
Galway
DAY 5:
Galway to Londonderry
Galway
Goodbye Galway, hello more Irish eye-candy. Today we continue on towards to Londonderry.
Londonderry
Here in Londonderry, 17th century walls stand at 8 metres high speaking of times gone by when this area was in battle. Times may have changed, but we're still keen to soak up the history and learn a thing or two from our wise Local Guide.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
See the 17th century city walls of Londonderry
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Londonderry Walking Tour
GBP 9.00
DAY 6:
Londonderry to Belfast via Giant's Causeway
Londonderry
Laters Londonderry, we've got a one way ticket to Belfast and a whole lot more exploration to do.
Giant's Causeway
UNESCO World Heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway - also known as those giant rock columns you've probably drooled over on Pinterest needs to be seen to be believed. Get those hashtags ready, a snap with the group is essential on the mind-blowing natural formation.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit the Giant's Causeway
Belfast
Next up - we'll arrive in Belfast. Concluding the day will be a driving tour and a trip to the Titanic museum where parts of the world's most famous ship can be seen.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
City tour of Belfast with a Local Guide
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Entry into the Titanic Museum
GBP 16.65
DAY 7:
Belfast to Dublin
Belfast
With one night left in Ireland and on tour, we're on the fast track to Dublin where our Irish fairytale first began.
Dublin
A promise is a promise. Here we are back in the city that started our Ireland infatuations. Use this second stint to do your missed critical activities such as visiting the Guinness Storehouse where you can learn how to pull a pint the Irish way.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Guinness Storehouse Visit
GBP 16.00
Farewell Evening at The Merry Ploughboy Pub
GBP 49.50
DAY 8:
Depart Dublin
Dublin
We leave Ireland today with leprechauns in our hearts and memories in our souls. Say goodbye at breakfast as it will be the last bite our crew has together.
Dublin

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience a lot of variety in Ireland! City nightlife with wonderful music in charming pubs, enriching history at breathtaking castles, jaw-dropping picturesque landscapes and very nice accommodations made this vacation feel very well rounded and I can't think of a single reason why I wouldn't recommend this trip or Contiki. They made everything very easy and fun!

I was very pleased with the activities on our contiki tour. I enjoyed the local guide from Derry. He spoke with a lot of passion and respect. Our tour manager Chris was very professional and knowledgeable as well as entertaining. The driver David was simply amazing. Made the most difficult turns look easy. Unfortunately what I didn't like was certain dinners (Crowe's Pub) considered a dinner meal with such small portions and no real entree. I would have preferred being able to play our own music in the bus. If possible I would have liked more time at certain locations to be able to enjoy the scenery and the locals. I would and have recommended the tour to my friends and work colleagues.

It was fun, but it was awfully rushed the entire time. Would arrive somewhere and be given an hour to explore before back on the bus to the next place.
They park you in the pub at the end of the night, and there are a lot of hidden costs that are not mentioned anywhere.

Purchase of the actual tour was of great value and we stayed at some great hotels. Be wary with the extra add-ons, if you do not cancel within 48 hours (even if the add on is within the first 48 hours), you will be charged for the excursions!
