Immerse yourself in the music, literary tradition and the sheer beauty of one of Europe’s most exciting destinations.

From the exuberant coastal nightlife of Cork to the tranquil, soaring peaks of Macgillycuddy's Reeks further inland, Ireland boasts some of the most diverse, scenic locations in the world. And we’ll catch a bit of it all on our Walking tour of the Emerald Isle. We’ll make our way along fields and meadows boasting their famed 40 shades of green. We’ll dine alongside locals in village pubs and restaurants and we’ll experience the “gift of the gab” firsthand during an in-home experience with Killarney local, Dennis Kissane. Discovery the serenity of the nation’s landscapes and enjoy the jubilance of Irish culture on VBT’s walking tour of Ireland.
