The Emerald Tour
Coach Holidays - 8 Days

Tour Highlights
Lovely Southern County Cork, Youghal, Wicklow Mountains, Snowdonia, The spectacular Ring of Kerry, Famous Blarney, Dublin

Southern Ireland is an unforgettable experience, and there’s no finer way to discover this magical land than on our Emerald Isle tour. Ireland’s natural splendour is matched only by the hospitality of the Irish themselves. Take the opportunity to visit Blarney Castle, take a boat on the lakes of Killarney, and enjoy the incomparable scenery of the ‘Ring of Kerry.’
