Join the Porters' crew for an epic week of fun and sun in Ireland. Four nights in the iconic Wynn's hotel in downtown Dublin and three nights in the Jurys Inn in Galway, with stops at Trim Castle and the Tullamore Dew distillery on the way from Dublin to Galway. From our centrally located hotels you'll have free time to explore the towns and their surroundings... Trinity College and the Book of Kells, the Guinness Brewery and Jameson Distillery, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Aran Isles, the countryside of Connemara, or just relax and unwind in a cozy Irish pub.
$1959 includes direct non-stop flights to Dublin and back from Shannon, all air taxes and fuel surcharges, all transfers between airports and hotels in Ireland, three nights Dublin in the centrally located Wynn's Hotel, four nights in the Jurys Inn Hotel in Galway, breakfasts daily, Trim Castle and Tullamore Dew Distillery visits and a pre departure meeting and orientation before we go. If you've ever wanted to visit Ireland this is your chance. You won't find a better value or a better time to go!! Especially in July when the weather in Ireland is at it's best... AND it's the 100 year anniversary of the Easter Rising so there will be lots of special events and celebrations going on. Dublin is a city steeped in a rich history. Originally a Viking settlement and now the country's largest city and capital. Visit the famed Trinity College and gaze upon the 6th century Book of Kells written by a long forgotten Irish monk, visit St Patrick's Cathedral and Christ Church Cathedral and learn about their centuries long rivalry for dominance in Dublin. Stroll along the river Liffy and eat and drink your way through the Temple Bar area. The list goes on and on. We'll stop at Trim Castle on our way from Dublin to Galway, built by Hugh de Lacey in 1173, it's the largest Norman castle in all of Europe and it sits on the south bank of the river Boyne where scenes from Braveheart were filmed. And, of course, no Porters' trip to Ireland would be complete without a stop at Tullamore Dew, that golden elixir of the Irish gods. Galway on the western shore of Ireland is the land of music. We'll be staying in the heart of the pedestrian friendly zone where you can wander out in the morning, eat and drink in many of the fine local establishments, and stagger home at night! We'll also be offering a couple optional trips to Newgrange and the Hill of Slane from Dublin, and the Aran Islands from Galway. Prices are based on double occupancy. There is a single supplement fee of $549. Airport departure taxed and fuel surcharges are included but subject to change until time of booking, |
