01/12
Dublin, Galway, & Inis Mór: The Perfect Irish Escape
City energy, coastal charm, and Ireland’s stunning landscapes
Picture the lively fiddle music spilling from Dublin's Temple Bar pubs, the salty Atlantic breeze along Galway's colorful waterfront, and ancient stone forts rising from remote Aran Islands. This is Ireland—where every conversation becomes a story, every meal feels like a celebration, and every view takes your breath away, all experienced through small group travel with newfound friends.
Dublin: Where History Meets Modern Irish Life You'll discover Ireland's vibrant capital through its legendary pub culture, literary landmarks, and Georgian elegance. Walk the same cobblestone streets as Joyce and Wilde, learn the art of the perfect Guinness pour, and explore neighborhoods where locals share stories over perfectly poured pints. Our small group Ireland tours provide personalized attention you can't get elsewhere.
Galway: Medieval Charm on the Wild Atlantic Way Experience this coastal gem's thriving arts scene, incredible cuisine, and musical traditions flowing from every doorway. Stroll the historic Latin Quarter, admire colorful houses along the Long Walk, and watch traditional Galway hooker boats with red sails glide along the River Corrib. Evening pubs welcome you like an old friend for spontaneous traditional music sessions.
Inis Mór: Step Back in Time Your unforgettable day trip to the largest Aran Island reveals ancient stone forts, dramatic cliff-edge landscapes, and living Irish traditions unchanged for centuries. The return journey offers breathtaking views of the towering Cliffs of Moher from the sea. An iconic finale to your Irish adventure.
Perfect April Timing Spring's mild weather, longer days, and emerging green landscapes make April ideal for our intimate small group travel style. Comfortable temperatures for walking Dublin's streets and exploring Galway's waterfront showcase why Ireland earned its nickname as the Emerald Isle.
You'll leave with newfound friendships, stunning memories, and understanding of "Céad míle fáilte": a hundred thousand welcomes. This isn't just sightseeing—it's experiencing Ireland's soul through small group Ireland tours designed for authentic discovery.
