    LOCAL TASTES Someone's in the kitchen in Rathbaun Farm, just outside of Galway. You can don an apron and whip up your own delicious home-made scones, served with fresh preserves and whipped cream. Learn about the long-time tradition of sheep farming in this beautiful Irish landscape.

    174 mi / 281 km

    LOCAL FAVORITE
    LOCAL TASTES It's clear why we get a warm feeling with traditional Irish Coffee - as much a warm welcome now as it was for stranded travelers in 1943. It was a wintry night in Limerick when Foynes Port chef Joe Sheridan concocted this soothing elixir of hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and whipped cream to make their cancelled flight a little more palatable. Raise a toddy glass of Caife Gaelach with a hearty "slainte!"
  • Day 5 KILLARNEY-BLARNEY-WATERFORD Fine Crystal & The Gift of Gab Drive across the Kerry Mountains and through County Cork.
    BLARNEY Visit the village known for its magical Kissing Stone.
    WATERFORD Guided tour of the House of Waterford Crystal. (B,D)
    131 mi / 210 km

    TOUR HIGHLIGHT
    LEGENDS & LORE Cut the blarney and hear the history of how telling tales is forever linked to the 15th-century castle and the village below in Blarney. One of the last estate villages that remain standing in Ireland, the village was built by an 18th-century landlord to house the castle workers there. It's true!
  • Day 6 WATERFORD-KILKENNY-DUBLIN MOUNTAIN LOUGHS & MEDIEVAL MONKS KILKENNY Time to explore one of Ireland's most quaint towns.
    DUBLIN Free time this afternoon. (B)
    122 mi / 196 km

    TOUR HIGHLIGHT
    HISTORIC SPOT Time to explore the city of Kilkenny, referred to as the "Marble City" because of the widespread use of local black limestone to construct many local buildings. The "Medieval Mile" is the city's main thoroughfare and is lined with medieval landmarks, quaint shops and charming pubs. Today Kilkenny is renowned for its active arts and crafts scene.
  • Day 7 DUBLIN Safe travels until we meet again! Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (B)
