Ireland - Off the Beaten Path - 11 Nights / 12 Days
Larissa Schultz, MCC, MHA
Available for hire
There are many different ways to see the Emerald Isle from group travel, to train travel, bus travel, to self-drive or chauffer driven.
This itinerary focuses on some areas of the country that are "off the beaten path" and accessible by self-drive or hiring your own private driver.
We highlight some points of interest that are common to the country, but delve into some other spectacular sites, villages and places that don't normally show up on a "typical Irish getaway".
The itinerary is mapped out for a grand tour of the country, going to towns and villages that aren't always referenced in the normal brochures and is perfect for people who may have seen a lot of Ireland already and want to delve into smaller, niche areas; or for those who enjoy traveling off-the-beaten path and away from most of the general tourist destinations - getting into the heart of the country.

Most flights from the U.S. are overnight into Ireland, departing from a number of major U.S. cities.
We recommend starting this trip out from Dublin, but you won't stay long in the city - just collect your bags and out into the countryside you will go.
(Don't worry, you will have plenty of time at the end of the trip to spend some time in this bustling capital).
