The Experience
What your day looks like
Jagged rocks jut out of the wild Atlantic Ocean; winding roads weave by beaches, pubs, and prehistoric remains; and a dolphin is the most famous resident of a quaint little village. This is the southwestern edge of Ireland, where every horizon hides something curiously beautiful. On this tour, you discover the best of this famous area. But that’s not all. On the way to and from this region, you get to experience two of Ireland’s most spiritual locations. You visit the monastic site of Glendalough concealed within a peaceful valley. And you survey the views from the Rock of Cashel, a ruined cathedral-fortress steeped in stories of St. Patrick. Join this journey and discover the wild landscapes and sensational legends of South West Ireland.

Perfect Choice! Loved the small group of 10. Marcus our Driver/Tour Guide was superb with information and assuring comfort, special experiences, and casual interaction. Bambury Guest House very comfy with delicious and hearty breakfast. Perfect blend of planned and free time. Meeting spot and drop off smooth and safe. Would definitely book again with Rabbies Tour Group. Maybe Scotland next.
