Ireland's Finest Pub Tour
This escorted tour of Ireland visits the Emerald Isle's most popular sights with an emphasis on spending plenty of time at the local pubs in Dublin, Killarney, and Bunratty. In Dublin, you will start with sightseeing of some of the city's most famous attractions such as Trinity College, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Christchurch Cathedral, O'Connell Street and the Bank of Ireland, formerly the Irish House of Parliament. You will also tour the Guinness Factory at St. James where you will learn about how this internationally best selling beer is made and get the opportunity to enjoy a pint at the Gravity Bar on the building's top floor.
Leave Dublin behind and journey through the Irish countryside. Tour the Old Middleton Distillery in Killarney and take a trip back through history to see how Irish whiskey is crafted. Sit back and relax as you take a drive through the Ring of Kerry and experience some of Ireland's most magnificent sights. Finally, because no tour of Ireland is complete without a castle, visit the folk village in Bunratty and discover how the Irish lived in medieval times.
