Our base is Killarney, a tourist hub on the shores of Lough Leane that has been welcoming visitors for over two centuries. Perhaps you’d like to visit fifteenth century Ross Castle or the magnificent Victorian mansion, Muckross House, with its formal gardens. Hop aboard a jaunting car to see the sights in the traditional way or take a boat trip to Innisfallen Island, home to monastic ruins dating back to the eleventh century. Or head to Killarney House and Gardens, a three-hundred-year-old estate lovingly restored to its former glory and where you can tour the period rooms and experience the beauty of this peaceful haven. Splendid sightseeing includes the seaport city of Cork, set on the River Lee and home to pastel painted buildings. We explore the stunning Ring of Kerry, a lengthy route that circumnavigates the Iveragh Peninsula taking in rugged countryside, panoramic seascapes and secluded villages. We also enjoy a guided tour of the fair city of Dublin with its fascinating history and many attractions.
