After our walking tour you will have a bit of time to freshen up before the official group welcome dinner!
Today we depart Dublin as we board our private coach from Kearney's of Cork and make our way west, and north to explore some of Ireland's less visited parts in Counties Mayo, Sligo, and Donegal.
On the way to Westport, Ireland - County Mayo's most vibrant city, with loads of "craic" - Irish for fun - and great night life, we will stop at the world's oldest pub, Sean's Bar, in Athelone, Ireland where we will have an Irish Coffee Master Class as you learn the proper way to make this famous drink!
After checking to our hotel you will have free time to explore Westport before we have a group dinner.
You may choose to depart from Belfast International Airport (BSF) or Dublin Airport (DUB).
Keep in mind if you choose to depart from Belfast International Airport you will go through US Customs and Boarder Control when you land back in the United States. If you choose to return from Dublin Airport you will go through US Customs and Boarder Control while at Dublin Airport.
If you choose to depart from Belfast International Airport, instead of our private coach, separate transportation will be arranged to the airport. Please, try not to book your return flight before 10:00am.
If you choose to depart from Dublin, please try not to book your return departure from Dublin Airport before 12:30pm as we the drive to Dublin from Belfast will be about 2½ hours from Belfast to Dublin and it is highly suggested to be at the airport 3 hours before departure because of the additional step.
