Vibrant cities, amazing roads & breath-taking scenery, the Emerald Isle is one of the most enchanting driving destinations in the world!
Perched on the Northwest Tip of Europe, Ireland is one of the places in the world where even getting lost will be fun. With ancient myths and legends to uncover, amazing landscapes to explore, you’ll return home with memories that will last a lifetime.
The Grand Tour of Ireland is a combination of our three most popular tours:
The Causeway Coastal Route is rated as one of the world’s great road journeys and boasts one of the top 5 views in the world. It’s an ever-changing tapestry of scenery and colours, set against a dramatic coastal backdrop that will take your breath away.
The Wild Atlantic Way is a world-famous coastal route that spans seven of Ireland’s counties, taking in some incredible scenery along the way. You’ll drive routes that ring great peninsulas reaching out into the ocean. Tiny roads cling to the shoreline and then emerge high up in the cliffs above the Atlantic swell.
Waterford, Killarney & the Ring of Kerry is a tour that takes you along the rugged south coast from Killarney to Waterford, home of the famous Waterford Crystal.
