      Itinerary

      Day 1
      Welcome to Ireland

      Arrive in Dublin, meet with your coach driver and English speaking guide and depart for a panoramic tour of Dublin city. Discover the north side of the River Liffey. This area offers great striking monuments such as the GPO (General Post Office) on the city main thoroughfare, O'Connell Street, or the Custom House along the quays, as well as the Phoenix Park, the largest public park in Europe.


      The south side appears more sophisticated with its vast Georgian squares, such as Merrion Square, where Oscar Wilde’s House can still be found (today owned by an American College), its colorful doors, along with Grafton Street and its quality shops. Not so far from St. Stephen’s Green, in Kildare St., you will see the house of Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula.


      This part of the city is also dominated by the students of Trinity College, where the famous Book of Kells is permanently exhibited in its library. The university is facing the medieval district where Dublin Castle and the two Anglican Cathedrals can be found.


      Visit Trinity College

      Trinity was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth 1st on grounds confiscated from an Augustinian priory and is the oldest University in Ireland. The Campanile, erected in 1852, was built on what is believed to be the centre of the monastery. Built to further the education of the ruling Anglo-Irish families, restrictions were imposed to prevent Catholic from attending courses.


      These restrictions were not fully lifted until the 1970’s. Trinity however admitted women in 1902, earlier than most British universities.


      Most of the main buildings off the main square were built during the Georgian period, some of which replaced older buildings. Within its walls, you will be able to admire Parliament Square and its 18th Century edifices. Trinity College has had many famous students such as Jonathan Swift and Samuel Beckett who later became a lecturer in French at the university. The Inter-denominational Church is very much worth a visit, should it be open during your visit.


      Visit the Guinness Store House


      The Guinness Brewery in Dublin is Europe's largest stout producing brewery and home to the Guinness Storehouse. Opened in 1904 The Storehouse was an operational plant for fermenting and storing GUINNESS. Today it houses a very fine exhibition dedicated to the Guinness story. Visitors will discover what goes into the making a pint of GUINNESS - the ingredients, the brewing process, the time, the craft and the passion.


      The exhibition shows how the brew has been marketed and how it is today sold in over 150 countries. Once the tour has finished your group is invited to the Gravity Bar and will then learn the guarded secret of pulling a pint of Guinness. Unlike other beers ~ there is an art to pulling a pint ~ which when properly done can take over 5 minutes to prepare. Each person can then pull their own pint - an added reason for doing it correctly.


      The Storehouse has excellent catering facilities and can be considered as a possibility for lunch Visitors can learn to pour their very own pint of Guinness under the watchful eye of experienced bar staff. You will learn, literally first hand, the passion, pride and practiced skill that go into making and pouring every pint of the black stuff. And to top it off, each pint pourer will receive their very own personalized certificate from the home of Guinness.


      Enjoy the afternoon at leisure in Dublin for some personal sightseeing or shopping. Return to your hotel. Tonight enjoy dinner and a welcome drink at your hotel.


      Overnight, Dinner and full Irish breakfast at your hotel in Dublin or region.

      Excellent trip. Accommodations were outstanding. The hotel was great about opening the kitchen early for days we had early tee times scheduled. Our driver, James, was a key contributor to the overall enjoyment of the trip. He knew the best pubs and the history of the places we visited. His knowledge and sense of humor made him an integral part of our adventure. Having all the arrangements coordinated and scheduled was a huge convenience. Wouldn't do a trip like this any other way going forward.
