THE HEART OF IRELAND
A Travel Experience Through Ireland’s Most Iconic Landscapes
Experience the magic of the Emerald Isle on this unforgettable 10-day Ireland guided tour, designed to blend iconic highlights with hidden gems and immersive local experiences. The Heart of Ireland is a curated Travel With Me group journey hosted by The Sunny Travelers, created for travelers who want culture, scenery, connection, and seamless planning — without missing what truly makes Ireland special.
Your adventure begins in Dublin, Ireland’s vibrant capital. Enjoy an orientation drive through statue-lined O’Connell Street, elegant Georgian squares, and past St. Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity College Dublin. From historic architecture to lively pubs, Dublin sets the tone for the journey ahead.
Travel south to Kilkenny, often called the “Marble City,” before continuing to Waterford, Ireland’s oldest city founded by Vikings. Here, you’ll choose your own included experience — explore the historic Viking Triangle on a guided walk or visit the renowned House of Waterford Crystal.
In Blarney Castle, you’ll have the opportunity to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone before heading to Rosscarbery and the coastal village of Baltimore, where you’ll ferry to Cape Clear Island. With only about 110 residents, this remote island offers an intimate look into authentic Irish island life.
Journey along the famous Ring of Kerry, then enjoy a horse-drawn jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park, surrounded by mountains, lakes, and dramatic landscapes. Stop in charming Adare before arriving in Limerick.
Stand at the edge of the world at the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, rising 668 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. At Rathbaun Farm near Galway, you’ll bake traditional Irish scones, sip coffee, and watch a sheepdog demonstration — one of the most beloved cultural highlights of the tour.
In Galway, enjoy colorful streets, cozy cafés, and traditional Irish charm before continuing to Birr. Visit the sustainable Ahascragh Distillery, Ireland’s first zero-emissions distillery, and enjoy lunch in a traditional Irish pub in Shannonbridge. You’ll also experience Ireland’s horse-racing heritage with a visit to the Irish National Stud in County Kildare before returning to Dublin.
