Itinerary
DAY 1 and 2: DUBLIN
Arrive in Dublin and spend your first two nights. We have listed just some of the activities that you can do while in Dublin but these are just a few of the many things you will want to explore.
CROKE PARK TOUR (Tour times 11am, 1pm and 3pm)
During her visit, Queen Elizabeth made an historic trip to Croke Park, the home of the GAA. This was a hugely symbolic event as Croke Park was the scene of the killing of 12 Irish citizens by the British Army during the War of Independence.
Your tour of the stadium will include an exciting mix of Irish sporting and cultural heritage. You will visit the players dressing rooms, walk down the famous tunnel and out into the arena itself. You will get a tour of the VIP Facilities including the corporate suites, media centre and the Players Lounge. (Duration 1hr 20mins)
GARDEN OF REMEMBERANCE
Located in the centre of Dublin at the Northern end of O’Connell Street, the Garden of Rememberance is dedicated to the memory of all “those who gave their lives in the cause of Irish Freedom”. Designed by Daithi Hanly the Garden includes a large sculpture inspired by the legend of the “Childern of Lir”. (Duration: At your Leisure, about 20 mins)
GUINNESS STOREHOUSE EXPERIENCE (Open 9am – 5pm)
As I am sure the Queen would point out, a visit to Dublin would not be complete without a stop off at the Guinness Storehouse. The Guinness Storehouse brings a true Irish Legend to life. Learn the history of this great stout from its humble beginnings in innercity Dublin to being a world renowned and much loved brand. The Storehouse stretches over 7 floors with the climax being the Gravity Bar where you will learn how to pull the prefect pint but more importantly you will get to them drink the brew. (Duration: Self guided about 1hr 30mins)
IRISH NATIONAL STUD
Her Majesty the Queen’s love of all things equine is well known and it is no surprise that she included the home of “See the Star”, one of the world’s best known racehorses. Horse racing is in the Irish blood and The Irish National Stud is a true symbol of this proud tradition. If you have ever dreamed about being the proud owner of a thoroughbred horse this will be the highlight of your tour. It’s not all about horses as the Nation Stud also includes the stunning The Japanese Gardens. The Gardens are among the finest of their type in Europe and are a delightful infusion of East meets West. (Duration: Half a day).
.
DAY 3: WATERFORD
Leave Dublin and head South where you will arrive in one of the oldest cities in Ireland, Waterford. World renowned for its Crystal, Waterford was once a walled city and many of the original features remain today. Visit the Reginald Tower which was part of the citys defences and is now open to visitors holding many exhibitions. Although the old Waterford Crystal factory is now closed the proud traditional of glass blowing and crystal remains in the city. A new and exciting Waterford Crystal visitors centre has been opened in the City Centre where you can learn the history of this great tradition and follow the making of crystal from start to finish.
Day 4 and 5: KILLARNEY
From Waterford you will travel on to one of Irelands real Gems, Killarney. There is always lots to do in Killarney and one could argue that two weeks never mind two days is not enough. From the Ring of Kerry to Muckross House and Gardens to walking along its tranquil lakes it will not take you long to fall in love with this wonderful place.
Day 6: SHANNON REGION
What better way to finish off your royal tour then a nights stay in one of Irelands premier castles or Manors. Live like a King or Queen for a day and enjoy one the surrounds of either Dromoland Castle or Adare Manor. Spend your last day being pamper in luxury, stroll around the beautiful grounds of the castle and indulge in a spot of Falconry. Visit the picturesque Adare village, famed for being a regular winner of Ireland’s Tidy Towns competition. Located on the River Maguire Adare’s beautiful traditional thatched cottages, Tudor-style houses and pretty gardens will enchant you.
