Learning about leprechauns and drinking gallons of Guinness is one thing, but exploring the Jameson's Distillery, eating Irish stew and oysters in Galway & seeing the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway? Well that's quite another. The full Irish experience awaits on our 8-day tour of The Emerald Isle.

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.

Worth every cent! All the extra activities were well priced. I would pay to do all the activities again, apart from the Guinness tour, I wouldn't do this again only because it doesn't taste nice haha

The trip was perfectly planned out from start to finish! I really enjoyed everything from accomadation to the bus to the last night dinner that contiki had organized. Also our tour manager Ebony was AMAZING! She was so knowlagable in Ireland's history and organized this trip perfectly! It is a very fast pace trip with alot to do in 8 days so you deff need to pace yourself and not drink and party every night but if you want to see Ireland and all it has to offer than sign up and do this trip! Also you will meet people from all over the world and make friends that will last a life time! In fact I loved this trip so much that I already booked my next trip! Thank you contiki for making this a trip of a lifetime!

Worth the money, Ireland is amazing. The only negative things was the one hotel we stayed at in Belfast was horrible and worse than some hostels I've seen. I would've rather been further from the city centre and in a nice hotel than stay there. Also the one dinner in Galway that was included wasn't great but other than that the included things and meals were good and well worth it
