So, if you are ready to spend a week in Ireland, we are ready to share some of the best stops we can share with you in just seven days!
Your Best of Ireland 7-Day Beercation starts in Dublin. We kick off the tour with a welcome toast, followed by a short walking tour and finally a welcome dinner before giving everyone the rest of the night to hit the pubs of Dublin!
This morning we will check out of the hotel, load our luggage onto our coach from Kearney's of Cork, and make our way to the Guinness Storehouse for a self-guided tour and group lunch before departing for Galway.
On the way to Galway, we will stop at the oldest pub in Ireland - Sean's Bar, in Athlone!
After a few pints, we will continue to Galway where we will check into our hotel, and you will have the rest of the day to enjoy the amazing pubs and live music in this lively town with great nightlife thanks to the vibrant student population!
We start our day with a walking tour of Galway. Learn about this harbor town's rich history and importance to Ireland over the centuries. After our walking tour, you will have a free afternoon before meeting up at Galway Bay Brewing Company for a beer tasting and group dinner. The rest of the evening is again free to enjoy the Galway nightlife!
Today we say goodbye to Galway and make our way down the Wild Atlantic Way to Dingle, first stopping at the iconic Cliffs of Moher. Here you will be able to enjoy the scenic views, and visitor center, and even grab a snack or bite to eat in the cafe before we continue on to one of our favorite small towns, Dingle!
After we get to Dingle and check into our hotel, the rest of the evening is yours to explore this little, but mighty town, full of lively pubs, great music, delicious seafood, and some of Ireland's BEST ice cream at Murphy's!
Today you will see quite a bit as we start in the morning by driving Slea Head Drive around the Dingle Peninsula, make a stop at Blarney Castle, and arrive later in the afternoon in Cork.
After we check into our hotel will have a group dinner at Thompson's Brewpub & Restaurant.
After dinner, you have the rest of the night to explore Cork's pubs!
Today we will make the short drive from Cork to Midleton, and visit the Midleton Distillery - makers of fine Irish whiskey like Jameson and Powers, plus many more!
After our guided tour we will have a group lunch before returning to Cork where you will have the rest of the day free to relax, explore, and hit a few pubs!
As we leave Cork, we will stop at the Rock of Cashel, the remains of a historical castle, for a short guided tour before continuing on to Dublin.
