A scenic transfer through County Kildare ends in Killarney, where travelers will spend four nights and tour Muckross House in the national park. Option excursions are to the Dingle Peninsula, Kinsale and Blarney, and Bantry Bay and Garinish Island.

The cost of $2,699 per person, double occupancy – if booked before May 20 - includes round-trip airfare, accommodations for seven nights, daily breakfasts and a farewell dinner. After May 20, the cost will be $2,949.
