Welcome to Dublin, Ireland's lively capital city! At 2 p.m., your voyage of discovery begins on a city tour that brings to life Dublin's grand architectural treasures and history stretching back more than 1,000 years. Visit St. Patrick's Cathedral, see the Georgian squares, and walk the cobbled courtyards of Trinity College to its library and world treasure, the 8th century Book of Kells. Later, join your Driver/Guide and fellow travelers for a Welcome Dinner with wine. (Welcome Dinner)

Day 3: Dublin / Blarney / Killarney
Drive across the countryside to see the Rock of Cashel. The limestone rock crowned with secular and religious buildings dominates the landscape for miles around. Travel on to the village of Blarney. Stop at Blarney Woollen Mills to shop and visit 600-year-old Blarney Castle with its magical stone that gives the gift of eloquence for a kiss. Then on to bustling Killarney. The town on the lakes is famous for its lively pubs and friendly people. (Breakfast, Dinner)

Day 4: Ring of Kerry Excursion
Travel the road that winds around the beautiful Ring of Kerry. Here mountains, valleys, lakes and sea blend into a landscape that is often breathtaking beyond words. Stopping at Torc Waterfall for photos, there is a chance to join a leisurely guided hike. You will walk along the lakeshore and past the farmlands of the Muckross Estate. For those who do not want to join the hike, the motorcoach will return you to Killarney, where the rest of the day is at leisure. (Breakfast). NOTE: The hike travels over wooded paths and lakeshore trails. While there are no mountains to climb, walkers need to be fit, have good walking shoes or boots, sunscreen and raingear.

Day 5: Killarney / Cliffs of Moher / Limerick
Travel north, crossing the Shannon Estuary by ferry. Continue to the majestic Cliffs of Moher rising 700 feet above the pounding Atlantic waves. Next, on to Limerick for a Farewell Irish Coffee at your hotel. Tonight, why not attend an optional Medieval Castle banquet? (Breakfast)
