From our itineraries

What a day in Dublin looks like.

Taken from the itineraries themselves — these are real days from trips we run, not a generic description of the city.

Day 1 · Essence of Ireland

Arrival in Dublin

Dublin is built on the River Liffey and announces itself in Georgian brick: the wide streets of Merrion Square and Fitzwilliam Square, the Custom House, the Four Courts, and the doorways — each painted a different colour — that have been the symbol of Dublin's domestic architecture since the 18th century. Your private driver meets you at Dublin Airport. The afternoon at leisure: the Trinity College cobbled square and the Long Room library, the Book of Kells, and the first pint of Guinness at a pub on Grafton Street or in the nearby Kehoe's — one of the Victorian-era pubs that preserves the snug layout and mahogany of the original. Welcome dinner at a restaurant that takes modern Irish cooking seriously: the wild Atlantic seafood, the Irish beef, and the increasingly excellent indigenous wine list that Irish sommeliers have been building over the past decade.

  • Private airport transfer
  • Trinity College Long Room and the Book of Kells
  • Georgian Dublin — Merrion Square and the painted doorways

Day 11 · Epic Ireland

Cork and Departure

Cork has been insisting it is the real capital of Ireland for as long as Dublin has been claiming the title. The English Market — established 1788 — sells the produce that Cork's food culture is built on: tripe, drisheen, crubeens, Cork butter, dry-aged beef, and the freshest Atlantic fish. The Crawford Art Gallery holds the finest collection of Irish art outside Dublin. Blarney Castle is thirty minutes from the city — the 15th-century tower house whose Blarney Stone visitors kiss to gain the gift of eloquence, suspended upside down above a forty-metre drop. Your private driver transfers you to Cork Airport at the agreed time. Eleven days and the full island covered.

  • Cork English Market — the 1788 food market and its singular produce
  • Crawford Art Gallery
  • Blarney Castle and the Blarney Stone
