Taste of Ireland

Touch down at Shannon Airport, where your Irish journey begins. After collecting your rental car, enjoy a scenic drive through Ennis, a heritage town full of character and color, en route to the coast. Your first stop is one of Ireland’s most iconic landmarks: the Cliffs of Moher.

Check in at Fiddle + Bow Hotel, a charming boutique property in the heart of Doolin, known for its warm welcome and stylish interiors. In the evening, dine like a local at the legendary Gus O’Connor’s Pub, where hearty Irish fare and nightly traditional music sessions await.

After breakfast, continue your drive along the Wild Atlantic Way, passing through the hauntingly beautiful Burren region. This otherworldly limestone landscape is dotted with ancient dolmens, wild orchids, and hidden caves, making it a dream for photographers and nature lovers alike.

Arrive in Galway City, the bohemian capital of the west. Wander through the colorful streets of the Latin Quarter, home to artisanal shops, vibrant pubs, and centuries-old architecture. Don’t miss a visit to Micil Distillery, Galway’s first legal distillery in over 100 years, where you’ll learn the secrets of crafting traditional Irish poitín and gin.

In the evening, enjoy Trad on the Prom, an electrifying stage show that celebrates Irish music, dance, and storytelling at its finest—perfectly set along Galway’s picturesque seaside promenade.

Stay overnight at The Galmont Hotel, a contemporary and stylish property just steps from Eyre Square, with views over Lough Atalia and excellent dining options on-site.

Sample everything from creamy Irish cheeses and fresh oysters to handmade chocolates and locally brewed craft beers. This guided experience offers a deep dive into the tastes and stories that make Galway a true gourmet destination.

In the afternoon, head north toward Cong, home to the world-renowned Ashford Castle—an 800-year-old fortress turned five-star hotel and consistently ranked among the best in the world.

Upon arrival, experience the Ireland School of Falconry, the oldest of its kind in the country, with a private session alongside majestic Harris hawks. This unique, hands-on encounter connects you with nature, heritage, and the ancient sport of kings.

Enjoy a regal overnight stay at Ashford Castle, where every detail—from the lavish interiors to the fine dining—is fit for royalty.

After a hearty breakfast in the castle’s opulent dining room, drive eastward across the Irish countryside to Dublin, Ireland’s capital and cultural heartbeat. Return your rental car and settle in at The Davenport Hotel, a Georgian landmark located steps from Merrion Square and Trinity College.

Spend your afternoon at EPIC: The Irish Emigration Museum, an award-winning, interactive museum that tells the powerful story of Irish emigration and the global impact of the Irish diaspora. With touch-screen exhibits, immersive storytelling, and inspiring displays, EPIC offers a modern, moving tribute to Ireland’s worldwide legacy.

Unwind with dinner nearby or explore Dublin’s charming streets by night.

Use your Hop-On/Hop-Off Bus Tour to explore top attractions including Trinity College and the Book of Kells, the General Post Office, the National Museum of Ireland, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, and the James Joyce Centre. Return to The Davenport to relax.
