Kiss the Blarney Stone

Kiss the Blarney Stone

Said to give people the gift of the gab, the Stone of Eloquence is a major drawcard of Blarney Castle, as is its pretty grounds.

The Ring of Kerry

The Ring of Kerry

Travel this scenic circuit of the Iveragh Peninsula taking in views of the Atlantic coastline, dramatic mountain passes and ancient heritage sites.

The Aran Islands

The Aran Islands

In Galway Bay is a collection of islands where the landscape and clifftop forts jostle for attention, with equally impressive scenery and historic sites.

Pour a Pint at Guinness Storehouse

Pour a Pint at Guinness Storehouse

Home of the Guinness legacy which spans over 250 years, learn about the history that shaped this iconic stout and not only sample a pint where it originated, but learn to pour it perfectly.

The Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher

Rising up to 214 meters (702 feet) from the churning water, these sheer cliffs are a highlight of the windswept coastline. It’s no wonder puffins choose to make them home when they nest here from May – July.

Irish Discovery     , NSW, Australia, Mar 2024
Thank you to Georgie for making the booking process so simple. Everything was arranged very quickly and seamless from the booking, to payment to arrival in Dublin for the beginning of my trip. Georgie was very quick to respond to any questions I asked.

Just got back from doing the Cosmos Irish Discovery 9 day tour- well what can I say other than ...read more loved every minute - I went solo and chose to do all the optional extra tours & so glad I did. Our group was a good mix of young and old, couples, friends travelling together and a few solo travellers from the USA, Australia, Canada and England. We had a few teenagers travelling with family. The hotels that we stayed in were cosy and clean. On those nights where dinners were not included, the hotel locations were quite central. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety on offer each morning. Our tour director “Deborah” was fantastic, very friendly, full of such interesting knowledge of the whole country!! She grew up and lives in Waterford and had a personal touch to her history and culture and stories she shared with us.

Jarek our driver was professional, courteous and fun and ever so considerate, like driving really slow and at a snails pace so we could all get the perfect photo. We also used seat rotation of 2 rows of seats forward each day enabled others to have front row seats on coach. The coach was extremely comfortable and included WiFi and individual USB ports for recharging phones etc on the go. The scenery was spectacular and we were fortunate to have fine weather most of the time, with just light showers on a couple of days in March.

I particularly loved the tour of Dublin City sights, Guinness Storehouse, tour of Belfast with a very reputable local guide, the Titanic Museum, Giants Causeway, the Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Dingle Peninsula, the Ring of Kerry, Muckross House, Jaunting car ride, Blarney Castle and gardens, the Tamore pub evening for the sing-a-long. All of it! A fantastic tour and highly recommend. I will definitely book with Global Journeys and Cosmos again, I particularly liked the CosmosGO app for guides, maps, tour notes to use offline. Looking forward to next trip now 😊
Ireland   , QLD, Australia, Mar 2024
Global journeys are great to deal with and this Contiki tour was awesome! The trip manager and driver were both great.
Right Balance   , ACT, Australia, Mar 2024
Booked this tour through Global Journeys as we have always had great service from them and they did not disappoint us. Thank you Georgie. We found this 7 day tour had the right balance for us and ticked most of the boxes of sites that we wanted to see across the northern part of Ireland. Have travelled previously with Globus and the service, transport ...read more and accommodation has always been first rate, again, not disappointed. Had a great tour guide Ally and driver Tony. A few more photo stops along the way would have been nice.
Irish Odyssey   , NSW, Australia, Mar 2024
CIE are a great tourist organisation. All costs were in the price quoted , no added extras like some tourist organisations. The tour covered big and small venues, cities and towns whilst the places used for accommodation were of great value. I would recommend CIE.
