Why should you tag along?
Because this isn’t just a vacation—it’s a story-worthy, pint-clinking, postcard-come-to-life kind of experience. Here are just a few of the unforgettable moments waiting for you on this adventure:
🍻 Raise a Glass at Europe’s Oldest Pub
Join generations of pub-goers at Sean’s Bar in Athlone, proudly featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest bar in Europe. It's been serving thirsty customers since 900 AD—and no, that’s not a typo.
🎶 Sip, Sway, and Soak in the Soundtrack of Ireland
Hear traditional Irish music right from the source as you relax at The Marine Bar in Dungarvan, a 300-year-old pub owned by local musician Christy O’Neill. This cozy, toe-tapping night out is a CIE Tours exclusive—aka, something most tourists will never get to do.
🏰 Explore Legendary Castles
Roam the halls of Blarney Castle, kiss the famous stone (if you dare), and imagine what life was like when knights, nobles, and a whole lot of drama filled these walls.
🌊 Stand on the Edge of the World (Kind Of)
Take in the dramatic beauty of the Cliffs of Moher, where the views are endless and the wind is working overtime on your hair. It’s main-character energy, guaranteed.
🐑 Make Eye Contact With a Sheepdog
Visit a working Irish sheep farm and see just how smart (and adorable) these herding pros really are. It’s like National Geographic, but with better accents.
🎻 Experience Real Irish Culture, Not Just the Tourist Version
From a jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park to strolling Galway’s colorful streets, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to go beyond the guidebook.
