Four days, four very different parts of Ireland, and one central base in Dublin. This package pulls together the country’s most iconic sights into a single booking - so you’re not spending half your holiday sourcing transport, comparing tour operators, or chasing separate confirmation emails.
The day trips cover serious ground. Heading west, you’ll visit the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Kilmacduagh Abbey and Galway city. Going south, the route takes in Glendalough, the Wicklow Mountains, a sheepdog demonstration and Kilkenny city. The northern trip heads up to Dunluce Castle, the Giant’s Causeway, the Dark Hedges, Belfast city and the Titanic Belfast museum.
Your Dublin day is its own full programme: a walking tour of the city, admission to the Guinness Storehouse, a Jameson Distillery tour, and a full-day hop-on hop-off bus pass so you can fill in the gaps at your own pace.
All tours run in air-conditioned vehicles with WiFi on board. Groups can include up to 50 people.
For the day trips: in front of the Hugh Lane Gallery, Parnell Square North. Look for “Suzanne Walking” - a LED light display of a woman walking. Your guide will meet you there.
For the Dublin Walking Tour: at the O’Connell Monument on O’Connell Street.
Give yourself a buffer day at the start. Four packed days works best when you’re not still recovering from the flight on day one. If your schedule allows, arriving a day early and spending an evening settling into the city means you hit the ground at a better pace on your first official day.
Wear layers every day, not just on the coast. The Cliffs of Moher and the Giant’s Causeway are both fully exposed, and Irish weather doesn’t always cooperate regardless of the season. The Wicklow Mountains day has its own microclimate. Pack layers you can shed at the Jameson Distillery and add back on the Atlantic.
The Titanic Belfast museum is worth lingering in. It’s included as part of the northern day trip and covers far more than the ship - the whole story of Belfast’s shipbuilding industry and the era that produced it. Budget at least two hours if you can.
Check the Guinness Storehouse opening time and book your preferred slot. Your admission is included in the package, but Storehouse visits are timed. Confirm the timing with your tour operator when you receive your booking details so the Dublin day flows smoothly.
Use the hop-on hop-off bus to find the neighbourhoods. The bus hits the major landmarks, but its real value is giving you a quick orientation so you can get off in an area that interests you and walk. Portobello, Stoneybatter and Rathmines are all easy to reach and give you a feel for how Dubliners actually live.
