The Best of Ireland
September 4, 2017
Only $3479 per person
C I Destinations “The difference is in the details”
Ireland is a country that has never lost a shared sense of community. Even in towns and cities, the pace
of life is gentler here; people stop to chat in the streets, they are happy to give directions to tourists, they
are glad you have come and they are sorry to see you go. Ireland has much to offer everyone. From
storybook castles to magnificent gardens, wide open spaces to the bustle of international cities,
breathtaking natural scenery to man made megalithic structures, Ireland opens her arms and welcomes
you to explore her ancient sites, traverse her green fields and discover her treasures. The scenery is
gorgeous, the weather is mild (though changeable), there is a rich cultural heritage to discover, and a
wealth of music and stories to share. But the real joy of Ireland lies in the friendliness of the people, the
warmth of their welcome, and the ease with which they make you feel at home.
