The Gap of Dunloe

An Irish Adventure

The itinerary below was designed for an alumni group to include a balance of all the different and fascinating aspects of Irish culture. These range from castles to early Christian sites,  a literature walk to a real Irish ceilidh, with visits to the Guinness Brewery and Waterford Crystal Factory as well. All this and the tour also includes the beautiful countryside and a little free time here and there to recharge the batteries.
