Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Dublin

    You'll arrive in Dublin whenever works for your flight, so there's no rush getting to your accommodation. The evening brings a welcome meeting where you'll connect with your CEO and the rest of your group. If you arrive earlier in the day, consider taking a walk around the city center or grabbing a bite at one of the local spots to get your bearings.

  2. Day 2

    Dublin

    This is your day to explore Dublin however you like. Head along the River Liffey or wander through the cobblestone streets at your own pace.

From there, you'll follow part of the Wild Atlantic Way coastal route before driving to Galway for the evening. If you're up for it, hitting a local pub later is a good way to experience the town's social side.

After that, the afternoon is yours to wander around at your own pace. You'll have time to check out the colorful shopfronts and streets, grab a bite at one of the local cafes, and just soak in the bohemian vibe that the city's known for. It's a nice mix of structured exploration followed by freedom to find your own discoveries.

    Our tour guide Peter was phenomenal . He has so much passion and enthusiasm in sharing his knowledge about his country. That truly made the trip more memorable and of course we enjoyed our coastal hike to Cliffs of Moher . ( tour date 4/26- 5/4, 2024.)

    We had to spend our own money to visit Ross castle and places. Which was inconvenient since there's no taxi available. Guide should have dropped and picked us up.

    I always enjoy G Adventures tours, this one had been a long time coming to as it had been rebooked twice due to covid. G Adventures and Trailfinders handled that really well though and I wasn't out of pocket.

    This was my first overnight group tour and I loved it. I really liked the size of our group (16) and the chance to get to know people from other parts of the world a little better. I liked the variety of the hotels (smaller to large) and I treasure all the areas of Ireland I got to see. I value learning new things ( like the fact that the potato famine was really a genicide) and of course seeing new places, which I had multiple opportunities to do on this trip. I appreciated the choice and ideas given for each destination. I?m 75 years old and felt like I could keep up with the group, with the exception of the Cliffs of Moher. Local guide walked way too fast. I have a second gadventures tour to Christmas markets booked for early Dec and I?m really looking forward to it. And I gotta say, Jamie made the tour fun.
