Some details about the tour:

Navigating airports can be very stressful. Unlike other tours, in which you have to find your own way to Ireland before even meeting up, I'll be with you to help at the airport: check-in, security clearance, and getting to the flight. Also, unlike most tours, mine are limited to 7-10 people. I'll also help you to book a flight, and provide information about getting to the airport and available parking options.

You will need a US Passport, but it is not necessary to apply for a visa.

After an overnight flight you'll arrive at Dublin Airport early in the morning. After clearing customs, we will travel together by Air Coach into Dublin city center, exchange currency, and check in to the hotel. The first day is tiring, and I've found the best way to get on Irish time is to take a brief nap and go out, but make an early night of it. By the next morning you should feel refreshed and ready to explore!

There are many places to go in Dublin and Ireland. I will share information about all the possibilities and hear what you would like to see while in Ireland. I will create an itinerary based on interests of the group.

Here is an example of a typical day:
