DUBLIN GUIDED TOUR (Walking & bus tour) – approx. 5-6 hrs including lunch

Its Viking heritage, cobbled streets and Georgian architecture make Dublin one of the most captivating cities in Europe. It is home to some of Ireland’s most iconic landmarks, from the majestic Trinity College and its world-famous Book of Kells to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin Castle, and the vibrant Temple Bar district. The city has produced Nobel laureates such as W.B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, and Samuel Beckett, and continues to nurture new generations of writers, musicians, and artists.

Despite its compact size, Dublin feels wonderfully expansive thanks to its open parks, like St. Stephen’s Green and Phoenix Park. Visitors can stroll along the River Liffey, enjoy live traditional music spilling from pubs, stop for a hearty lunch at local favourites such as Jr. Mahon’s, or discover the craft and innovation at the Teeling Whiskey Distillery. Every corner of Dublin offers a story, a smile, or a melody to enjoy.

FULL-DAY TOUR OF GLENDALOUGH AND POWERSCOURT WITH BAILEYS WORKSHOP (approx. 8 hrs)

 From the serene monastic ruins of Glendalough to the rugged Wicklow Mountains, Ireland’s scenery seems made for exploration. Visit the remote valley where St Kevin founded a monastery in the 7th century and Enniskerry, one of the prettiest villages in Ireland lying in a wooded hollow among the hills.

The warmth of Irish hospitality can be savoured over a traditional lunch at Johnny Fox’s Pub, perched high above the valleys, or in the elegance of Powerscourt Gardens, located on a steep south slope facing the Sugar Loaf Mountain. The Baileys Making Workshop – which includes a brief introduction to the history and heritage of the brand and a demonstration of the different ingredients used to create Baileys – will add a uniquely local touch to this full-day tour.
