This sightseeing getaway is based in Castlebar where you’ll have free time to perhaps take a leisurely stroll through the Mayo Peace Park or wander around Lough Lannagh with its walking trails and picnic areas. Look forward to a guided walking tour of Galway, a harbour city on Ireland’s west coast that rests at a picturesque spot where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean. The heart of this city lies in Eyre Square, which dates back to medieval times and is also known as the John F Kennedy Memorial Park in honour of the US president who made a speech here in 1963. It is a popular meeting place featuring interesting focal points and flanked by traditional Irish music pubs. On another day, we immerse ourselves in history with a guided tour of Westport House, a Georgian-era estate and one of the few privately owned notable homes in Ireland. We also visit the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life, home to all things Irish, and set in thirty acres of parkland featuring an ornamental lake and a Victorian gothic mansion.
