Your adventure begins in Dublin, a city that’s redefined itself as one of Europe’s most dynamic capitals. Instead of pub crawls and crowds, think electric bike tours, private cathedral access, and fine dining that rivals any major culinary city.

From there, travel south through Kilkenny’s medieval streets and along the Copper Coast, where you’ll stay in some of Ireland’s most beautiful estates. Each property – from Mount Juliet to Adare Manor – offers more than just luxury accommodation. Whether it’s falconry on manicured lawns, sheepdog demonstrations in rolling fields, or whiskey tastings straight from the cask, every experience feels crafted with care.

The route weaves together iconic Irish moments – the wild Cliffs of Moher, the history of Cobh and the Titanic, and the warmth of country hospitality at Ballymaloe House.

Plan Your Trip

In detail

Days 1–2

Dublin

Arrive in Dublin, where your private driver welcomes you to Ireland’s capital. Settle into your hotel and take time to explore before your first full day of discovery. Visit Kilmainham Gaol, a moving landmark of Ireland’s revolutionary past, and enjoy a private, after-hours tour of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where centuries of history are brought to life. Between the city’s architecture, culture, and modern food scene, Dublin offers a perfect introduction to the country’s mix of old and new.

Days 3–4

Kilkenny & Mount Juliet

Head south to Kilkenny, one of Ireland’s most atmospheric towns. Stroll The Medieval Mile with your guide, explore Kilkenny Castle, and wander through winding streets filled with artisan shops and galleries. Then retreat to Mount Juliet Estate, a country escape of elegance and calm.

Here, the pace slows. Watch a sheepdog demonstration, explore the ruins of Newtown Jerpoint, or spend the afternoon fly-fishing or horseback riding along the River Nore. The estate’s falconry and fine dining capture the spirit of Irish country life at its most graceful.

Days 5–6

Arthurstown & The Copper Coast

Travel south through Arthurstown, stopping at the Dunbrody Famine Ship and Kennedy Homestead for a glimpse into Ireland’s emigrant story. Visit the serene Tintern Abbey, then unwind at Dunbrody Country House Hotel, known for its warm hospitality and refined simplicity.

The next day, follow the Copper Coast, where ocean cliffs and quiet beaches line the road to Ballymaloe House. En route, visit Lismore Castle and its extraordinary gardens before a private cooking class at Ballymaloe. Using fresh, seasonal produce from the estate, you’ll learn the traditions that define Ireland’s farm-to-table cuisine.

Days 7–8

Cobh, Blarney & Adare

Travel to Cobh, the colourful harbour town that was the Titanic’s final port of call. Your private walking tour shares the human stories behind its maritime past, before a behind-the-scenes experience at the Jameson Distillery in Midleton – complete with tastings of rare Irish whiskeys.

Continue to Blarney Castle, where you can explore its gardens and, if you wish, kiss the famous stone for luck. Then arrive at Adare Manor, one of Ireland’s most remarkable hotels. Spend your time enjoying spa treatments, fine dining, and the estate’s tranquil parkland – a destination in itself.

Days 9–10

County Clare - Wild Landscapes & Farewell

Your final days bring you west to County Clare, a region of limestone plateaus, wildflowers, and sea cliffs. Explore The Burren with your private guide, visiting ancient tombs and hidden caves, before viewing the Cliffs of Moher by private boat – a perspective few travelers experience.

After a final evening reflecting on your journey, you’ll enjoy a seamless private transfer to Shannon Airport.

The Guinness Connoisseur Experience, Dublin Inside St James's Gate, a private bar on the fourth floor of the Guinness Storehouse offers a different way into one of the world's most recognised drinks: four variants, one trained connoisseur and the story behind every pour.

Titanic Belfast Museum Titanic Belfast stands on the slipways of the Harland and Wolff shipyard where the Titanic was built between 1909 and 1911. Across nine interactive galleries, the story moves from the streets of early 20th-century Belfast through the construction, the maiden voyage and the night of April 14, 1912, to the ocean floor and the legacy that followed

Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Kilmainham Gaol opened in 1796 and closed in 1924. In the 128 years between, it held petty criminals, Famine survivors, political prisoners and the leaders of every major Irish rebellion. A private guided visit reaches the parts of that history that a crowded standard tour cannot.

Dining the Wild Atlantic Way Aniar in Galway and Chestnut in west Cork hold Michelin stars and serve tasting menus built entirely around what the land, the shore and the season provide. No fixed menus, no outside sourcing.

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum sits in the stone vaults of the CHQ building on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands. Twenty interactive galleries tell the story of Irish emigration across centuries, from the reasons people left to the countries they shaped. A guided visit adds a layer of depth the self-guided experience cannot replicate.
