Hotels with breakfast, coach travel with an English-speaking tour guide, the Dublin city tour, the jaunting car and lake cruise in Killarney, the Cliffs of Moher, two dinners in Ireland and the main admissions are arranged before you leave.
The tour begins with three nights in Dublin, a compact, friendly city on the River Liffey. A panoramic tour takes in the elegant Georgian squares, Trinity College — home of the Book of Kells — O’Connell Street, St Patrick’s Cathedral and the riverside quays. A free day lets you explore at your own pace: the pubs and live music of Temple Bar, shopping on Grafton Street, the Guinness Storehouse with its rooftop bar, or a walk in St Stephen’s Green. Dublin is an easy city to start a trip in, with good Indian and vegetarian restaurants and most sights within walking distance.
Leaving Dublin, the coach climbs into the Wicklow Mountains to the Powerscourt Gardens, one of the finest estates in Ireland, with terraces, lakes and a view of Sugarloaf Mountain (admission included). Next is Kilkenny, a medieval city of narrow lanes, a Norman castle and old stone churches. In the afternoon the tour reaches the Rock of Cashel, a cluster of medieval church ruins and a round tower on a limestone hill, once the seat of the kings of Munster (admission included). The night is in Cork, Ireland’s second city, with dinner included.
For many travellers this is the most memorable day in Ireland. After a stop in the harbour town of Kinsale, the tour heads to County Kerry and Killarney National Park, where a traditional jaunting car — a horse and carriage — takes you through woods and along the lakes to Ross Castle, followed by a short cruise on the Lakes of Killarney. The road then runs through Adare, often called Ireland’s prettiest village, with its thatched cottages, before a night and an included dinner in Limerick on the River Shannon.
Ireland’s west coast shows its wild side. The Bunratty Folk Park recreates 19th-century Irish village life around a restored medieval castle (admission included). Then comes the highlight of any Ireland trip: the Cliffs of Moher, rising more than 200 metres straight out of the Atlantic, with time to walk the cliff path towards O’Brien’s Tower and look out to the Aran Islands on a clear day (admission included). The night is in Galway, a lively university city famous for its colourful shopfronts, street musicians and traditional music sessions in the pubs of the Latin Quarter.
Crossing the heart of Ireland, the tour passes the village of Cong and the grounds of Ashford Castle, one of the country’s grandest castle hotels, then visits Clonmacnoise, an early-Christian monastic site on the banks of the Shannon, with high crosses, round towers and church ruins, on a guided visit. The route continues through Athlone back to Dublin for a final night in Ireland.
A ferry across the Irish Sea brings the tour to Wales and the mighty Caernarfon Castle, a UNESCO-listed fortress where the Prince of Wales is invested. The night is in Liverpool, the port city of the Beatles, with the Royal Albert Dock, the Cavern Club and a waterfront that has been reborn as one of the liveliest in England.
On the last day the coach stops in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, with its Tudor houses along the River Avon, and in Oxford, among the honey-coloured colleges of the oldest university in the English-speaking world. The tour ends on arrival in London in the evening — our team can book extra nights in London if you want time for the city before flying home.
This 9 days Ireland tour including Dublin, Killarney, the Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Wales and London suits travellers who want to see the best of Ireland in a short trip; couples and honeymooners who love green landscapes and old castles; retired couples and senior travellers who prefer a guided pace; and repeat Europe travellers looking for something beyond Paris and Switzerland. It also works well as an add-on before a longer UK holiday.
May to September is the best season, with long daylight hours and the gardens in bloom; April and October are cooler and quieter, with lower prices. Departures are on Wednesdays. Indian passport holders need an Irish visa and a UK visa for this route, as neither country is part of the Schengen area — our visa team prepares both files, so start about three months before travel.
Breakfast is included every day, plus two dinners in Ireland (Cork and Limerick); other meals are on your own, and Dublin, Galway, Liverpool and London all have Indian and vegetarian restaurants. Irish weather changes quickly, so pack a light rain jacket and layers even in summer. The tour ends in London on Day 9, so plan your flight home for the next day or add a London hotel night. International flights into Dublin and out of London are booked separately — our team can book them from any Indian city. Prices start from €1,595 per person (about ₹1,75,500) on twin sharing, excluding GST and TCS, and are recalculated for your exact travel dates and season.
