Overview

Itinerary

1. Day 1: London - Dublin · 9h

   Check-in at London Euston Station at the Network Rail Mobility Assistance Reception for the 09:02 departure of your train direct to Holyhead. You will be met by your host and escorted into your reserved seats.
   
   Your train, complete with snack car/bar will speed through the heart of England and along the North Wales coast to reach Holyhead in just 3 hours and 40 minutes. Holyhead rail station is also the cruise ferry terminal so after a short bus transfer to the berth you walk onto the ship – The Irish Ferries ‘Ulysses’ to Dublin.
   
   Enjoy an invigorating 3 hours and 15 minute voyage across the Irish Sea to Dublin. Facilities on board the ship include a range of restaurants and bars, a 2-screen cinema and a traditional promenade deck, from where you can enjoy the fresh sea air.
   
   Arrive into Dublin at 17:25hrs where you will be welcomed by your host and transferred to your hotel in Dublin City Centre.

2. Day 2: Discover Dublin at your leisure · 1 day

   Free to discover Dublin with your 48hr Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus Tour ticket.
   
   The popular tour, the 2-day Hop-On Hop-Off Tour, is offered with both live and multilingual commentary. All drivers are Fáilte Ireland approved, which means that not only are they great story tellers, they're also brimming with information and history of Dublin's past, and will have you laughing all the way around the tour route.

3. Day 3: The Cliffs of Moher & Bunratty Castle · 1h 30m

   We arrive in Limerick shortly after 9am, where we will join our tour coach.
   
   After a brief city tour, we head out to Bunratty Castle and admission is included. The castle was completed in 1425 and, after many years of neglect, has been restored to its former glory. There is also a folk park here and many of the buildings – including the village – were dismantled at various locations in the region and rebuilt, brick by brick, at their present location.

4. Day 3: The Cliffs of Moher & Bunratty Castle · 2h

   There is a lunch stop at a local pub in Doolin before arriving at the majestic Cliffs of Moher – among the highest sea cliffs in Western Europe. There is plenty of time to visit Ireland’s second most popular tourist attraction and your host will advise you of the departure time.

5. Day 3: The Cliffs of Moher & Bunratty Castle · 15m

   From the Cliffs of Moher, we take the coast road for much of the way to Galway, with time for photos along The Burren. This is a national park and the word Burren comes from the Irish Language – meaning ‘rocky place’.
   
   Today the Burren is noted for its diverse flora with few parallels elsewhere in Ireland or indeed, Europe. As time permits, we will make a short stop here for photographs.
   
   We continue along the coast road to Black Head, passing the pretty coastal villages of Ballyvaughan and Kinvara before joining the main road to Galway, where we will arrive shortly after 17:00. Ask your host if there is time to explore the streets around Eyre Square.
   
   At the end of the day the coach will set you down at Eyre Square in the centre of Galway City adjacent to the railway station where we take the train back to Dublin.
