Grand Tour of Ireland
Date: 19/09/2010
Price: from £719
Days: 10
Join us once more for this popular tour to the Emerald Isle. Along the way we will take in the capital city of Dublin, the lakes of Killarney and the splendour of the Ring of Kerry. We will also admire the sheer magnitude of the wild Atlantic coastline and the Cliffs of Moher. The scenery changes each day on this tour but the one thing which remains constant is the genuine sense of warmth in the welcome by the locals and this will probably be one of your fondest memories at the end of the holiday.
£719, single supplement £179
