  • Day 1: Dublin – Cork – Cobh - Killarney

Your excursion will begin with a train journey to Cork in the south of Ireland. There you will visit Blarney Castle, one of Ireland's greatest treasures dating back to the 6th century. You can go right up to the top of the castle to admire the magic stone that endows people with the gift of the gab. Accompanied by your guide, you will then head to the charming harbour town of Cobh.

When you leave Cobh, you will take the train to Killarney where you will stay in a hotel for two nights.

  • Day 2: Killarney – Ring of Kerry

After a break for lunch in Kilronan, you will visit Dún Aengus, an archaeological site dating back to the Iron Age.
