Our Ireland holidays
Escaping the car is the best way to experience Ireland’s natural beauty, or the warmth of its culture. Our Ireland holidays, both small group and tailor made tours, will entice those looking to explore the Emerald Isle under their own steam, and with as small a carbon footprint as possible. Relaxed cycling holidays abound, taking you to lesser-known and quieter parts of the country. Meanwhile walking routes such as the Dingle Way or the Ring of Kerry follow well-maintained trails through wonderfully picturesque landscapes. And for those looking to take a more sedate approach, there are train journeys encompassing Dublin, Galway and Belfast, or the stunning Wild Atlantic Way. However you travel, you’ll receive a friendly welcome in locally owned accommodations throughout.

About our Ireland holidays
Walking holidays in Ireland
Ireland is made for walkers. The Ring of Kerry might be crowded with tourist buses, but our holidays lead you to a much more peaceful walking path, the Kerry Way, broadly following the same route and allowing you to step into the scenery, not just admire it through a window. You can find stunning routes in the Aran Islands and the Dingle Way is another superb long-distance route in Kerry. Walking in Ireland does mean taking your chances with the weather, so aim for April to June for your best chance of dodging the rain as well as the crowds.
Ireland by bike
Both the Wild Atlantic Way and the Irish Greenways’ repurposed railway lines have been immensely successful in promoting cycling in Ireland. Our self guided holidays take you along these well-surfaced routes through magnificent countryside and coast, and between welcoming B&Bs. The Greenways in particular has boosted incomes in rural communities with the opportunity to serve passing cyclists, and also to commute more easily on two wheels. Cycling is a way to not only explore the Emerald Isle’s dramatically beautiful landscapes up close and personal, but also to indulge in culture, cuisine, and craic outside the big towns and cities.
Rail holidays in Ireland
Our rail tours in Ireland allow you to see a lot of the country in a short space of time, travelling in comfort between pre-booked accommodation in superb locations. Dramatic views can be enjoyed on routes along the Wild Atlantic Way, but if you’d like to throw some culture in alongside the scenery, opt for a Tri-Cities rail tour. You’ll have plenty of time to explore Dublin and Galway as well as nipping over the border to Belfast, and even taking a short ferry out to the beautiful Aran Islands. And the great thing about exploring by train is that there is a constantly rotating cast of fellow passengers with whom you can enjoy a friendly chat.
