Immerse yourself in
the music, literary tradition and the sheer beauty of one of Europe’s most
exciting destinations.
From the exuberant coastal nightlife of Cork to the
tranquil, soaring peaks of Macgillycuddy's Reeks further inland, Ireland boasts
some of the most diverse, scenic locations in the world. And we’ll catch a bit
of it all on our Walking tour of the Emerald Isle. We’ll make our way along
fields and meadows boasting their famed 40 shades of green. We’ll dine
alongside locals in village pubs and restaurants and we’ll experience the “gift
of the gab” firsthand during an in-home experience with Killarney local, Dennis
Kissane. Discovery the serenity of the nation’s landscapes and enjoy the
jubilance of Irish culture on VBT’s walking tour of Ireland.
