The Northern routes begins in Dublin. You will then make your way north to the Antrim coast, with the Giant’s Causeway, Game of Thrones and ancient castles. Travelling west from here you will visit Donegal and Glenveagh National Park.
The final legs of these tours bring you to Galway, visiting Connemara on the way. You will then return to Dublin and drop your rental car to the airport before flying back home.
Your journeys south also start in Dublin but this time your next stop will be Cork. On the way you have the options to visit the medieval city of Kilkenny, the Rock of Cashel and the Blarney Castle.
From Cork you will travel west, along the Beara coastline to Killarney. From your Killarney base you can travel around the famous Ring of Kerry and visit the Dingle Peninsula. Moving north along the Wild Atlantic Coast you can visit Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, the Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands and Burren National Park before your final stop in Galway. Your departure day will see you return to Dublin.
