Tauck's week-long Ireland travel adventure includes some of the Emerald Isle's most notable places, from scenic wonders like the Cliffs of Moher to sophisticated cities and charming small towns dotting the verdant countryside. Attend an Irish House Party in Georgian Dublin, featuring traditional Irish music, dance and dinner. Stay at a castle, a manor house and a luxury hotel in the heart of Dublin. Go to a private recital at a cathedral in Cork. Explore the ruins of 6th-century Glendalough with a local guide, and see the Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle and the Book of Kells; and enjoy multiple-night stays in some of Ireland's finest castle, country and city landmark hotels. A week in Ireland is a week well spent!
