Relaxed touring, History, the Atlantic Coast & Dublin
The Emerald Isle. Before you’ve travelled far in this country you’ll be enchanted and captivated by the land, its people and its wonderful laid-back atmosphere. Enjoy late Spring as we tour around the south and west of the country, all in a relaxed manner.
Along the south and west coasts is where Blarney, The Ring of Kerry, The Dingle Peninsular and The Cliffs of Moher are all found. We include these as we travel leisurely along much of the Wild Atlantic Way route.
It’s then time to be in Dublin, to take in the history and culture of Ireland’s capital city. You’ll be fascinated by the colourfulness of the city, which is home to Molly Malone, Guinness and Trinity College containing the Book of Kells.
This tour offers wonderful travel in your own motorhome, in lovely locations and at a relaxed pace throughout. The tour is also reasonably pet friendly, should you wish to include your pet.
