IRELAND Dublin

You are assured of a warm welcome when you tour to the Emerald Isle. The very hospitable Irish Clubs will ensure that your tour is memorable, providing you don’t indulge in too much of the “black stuff”!

The Capital City is a youthful and vibrant place to visit. There are many places of interest to visit in this attractive city. The best way is to take a city tour bus from O’Connell Street, this travels around the city taking in all the major sights, this is a “hop off, hop on” service enabling you to spend more time at a particular location. The central area situated around O’Connell bridge and Temple Bar offer a wealth of bars and clubs, there is a brilliant music scene in the city offering everything from typical Irish music through to garage and rock.

Cork Irelands second city, Cork is served by direct ferry from the UK. The city is both a busy port and commercial centre for this region. Famous for its Blarney Stone and Jamesons Whiskey, it is a good alternative to the capital.

Trabolgan Holiday Village

20 miles to the east of Cork is the superbly appointed Trabolgan Holiday village. Modern, fully equipped bungalows offer high standard of accommodation.

IN OUR OPINION A city based tour is more suitable for older groups, Cork and Dublin are both great cities to visit, nightlife, entertainment and friendly hosts ensures a good time is had by all, whilst the superb Trabolgan Village makes an ideal base for younger groups.
