Itinerary
Day 1: Day 1: Dublin to Kinsale
Stop At: Rock of Cashel, Cashel Ireland
oday we travel south to the begining of the Irelands most famous driving route, the Wild Atlantic Way.
En route, we will take in the imposing Rock of Cashel, once the seat of the Kings of Munster. For more than 1,000 years the Rock was a symbol of royal and religious power; until rivalries saw Brian Boru, future High King of Ireland, take over in the 10th century.
Afterwards we'll head to Cork, a small city with a relaxed pace of life. You’ll have plenty of free time to wander the streets of Cork, with some fantastic sights and attractions to see and do. For example, the bustling and colourful English market, enjoy a great guided tour of the Franciscan Well Brewery, a half day trip to Blarney Castle & Stone or a visit to the ancient site of St Finbarr’s Cathedral.
From there we will make our way to the picturesque yachting harbour of Kinsale (Cionn tSáile), which is one of many colourful gems strung along the coastline of County Cork. Narrow, winding streets lined with galleries and gift shops, lively bars and superb restaurants, and a handsome natural harbour filled with yachts and guarded by a huge 17th-century fortress make it an engrossing place to spend a day or two.

First of all Rori was an amazing tour guide. Accommodating, friendly, knowledgable, and a gentleman. The tour itself was excellent. I feel like I got a really good taste of the south western part of Ireland. Strongly recommend.
