Detailed Description

From the sophistication of the Pale to the fighting spirit of Cork and Kerry, the Republic of Ireland is filled with beauty, magic and incredible scenery. This ten-day vacation offers the best of east and west, from Georgian townhouses and divine cathedrals to climbing mountains and beaten shores; with so much to see, you’ll be sure to appreciate the fact that this trip can be tailored to fit whatever you want to see and do most.

Begin your custom tour to Ireland in Dublin, the venerable capital and literary center for nearly a millennia, where you’re never far away from the beautiful and timeless words that shaped this remarkable city. Head west to County Cork and engage your wild side at Blarney Castle and Cork city, where drums beat the way to a glorious past and tin whistles twitter a romantic present. Then cruise up the land slated against the mighty Atlantic, witnessing ponderous cliffs, eerie landscapes and enchanting cities that will spark your imagination and leave you begging for more.

This is a nation filled with song and poetry, wonder and adventure and the friendliest people on Earth; it is a country of a prideful history and a promising future, ready to welcome you and eager to call you her own; it is a land that can never be copied or duplicated, gloriously its own and eternally unique. Visit for love, visit for laughter, visit for life—whatever your reason, Ireland is waiting.

Ireland Vacation Review: Dublin, Rock of Cashel, Blarney...

This Ireland trip was absolutely incredible. Our family of 13 ranged from three to 70 years old and we loved it so much. Working with Zicasso’s travel agent was so easy. During the planning stage, she accommodated my calls and emails, executing perfectly on a flawless itinerary.

We loved starting out in Dublin and then traveling to the stunning Irish countryside by way of private driver. We saw so much, from the Rock of Cashel to the Blarney Stone, the English market in Cork, and the café in Cork, which was a highlight for us!

Our absolute favorite accommodation was our lodge in County Kerry, which was a stunning property that took our experience to the next level.

The Gap of Dunloe and Cliffs of Moher were two of our favorite tours.

The travel company handled all the logistics with precision! Every transfer, tour, and activity was meticulously planned, allowing my family and me to fully immerse without worry. And our guide/driver, well, he was the absolute best. He became the 14th family member by the end of our eight-day road trip together!

The preparation support was exceptional. Zicasso's travel consultant found activities and lodging that fit our ideas and requests quite well. She adjusted certain activities based on our reactions to the original plan. Responsiveness was fantastic. The trip itself worked out very consistently with the plan. The one occasion when we needed help, the support was immediate.

Ireland Tour Review: Kilkenny, Kinsale, Galway, Forty Foot,...

We had a wonderful trip. Everything was executed flawlessly, which made it so easy and relaxing for us. The hotels that were chosen were great. Our driver/guide was amazing and the perfect companion.

The only advice I would give is to include driving times on the itinerary so we would know how far things were from each other. But I would 100% recommend Zicasso's travel company to anyone traveling to Ireland. I can’t wait to go again!
