(10 days)
10 days -
over 30 sites - $2499
(based on double occupancy)
What does Double Occupancy
Mean?
The price of $2499 is for one
person that travels with a partner.
If you wish to register for the trip
as a lone traveler, there will be an
additional cost (tba). If you
would like us to pair you with
another lone traveler - meaning you
would share a room with that person
- we are happy to assist, though we
can't guarantee.
What does "B" and "D" mean on the itinerary?
The B and D noted in parenthesis on the
Itinerary refers to Breakfast and Dinner.. which is
included in the overall fee. All hotel
locations are providing breakfast, but when Dinner
is not noted, guests must find and pay for dinner on
their own.
What is the primary mode of land
transportation?
The tour will move through the itinerary
transporting guests on a motorcoach... medium sized,
as the trip is limited to 20 guests. All land
transportation is included in overall fee.
What if a guest wants to take a side trip to
visit friends or relatives?
The itinerary is flexible for guests, so if they
want to leave the group and stay behind for a day or
two, that's fine - so long as they can make
arrangements to catch up to the group in one of its
next locations at their own expense. This is
relatively simple to do as Ireland is not a large
country and the longest driving distances between
locations is usually under one hour.
NOTE: The registration fee does not waiver or
decrease if a guest wants to divert from the
itinerary. All diversions and transportation
away from the group are at the guests' expense.
Is there any quiet time or personal time for
guests away from the group?
The itinerary has been planned so that all but 2
stops have guests spending at least two nights in a
town. This was deliberately planned so that
guests could forgo a day's trip and stay in town if
they preferred relaxation away from the group or
another diversion, and still be able to resume group
activities the next day.
