Let us show you around
Following the resounding success of our first journey, Tours of Ireland returns with a new jam-packed, carefully curated itinerary exploring two of Ireland's most vibrant hotspots. Both Dublin and Belfast are bursting at the seams with heritage, culture and authentic hospitality, offering captivating histories and exciting futures.
We’ll visit the bustling hubs of each city, touring galleries, museums, distilleries and breweries, and we’ll meet the makers, chefs and bar owners fueling the evolution of hospitality and artistry for which the Emerald Isle is world-renowned.
We’ll enjoy workshops on contemporary Irish cooking, behind-the-scenes access to the home of Guinness, drams in some of Ireland’s most iconic pubs, plus visits to candlemakers, designers, and distillers, and even a stay in one of the country’s most luxurious spas.
Our second tour will give you the chance to get up close and personal with The Dead Rabbit's collaborators, all of whom are leading the way in championing modern Ireland on a global stage, including the musicians, artists, and creators who make us proud to call Ireland home.
Sure, you can relax if you like, but we guarantee you’ll never be short of things to do.
