A Romantic Irish Honeymoon

On arrival you will be warmly welcomed to Ireland by your friendly driver guide. We will build the itinerary around your preferred time of arrival, allowing you full flexibility. 

Since it is your honeymoon we will have a little surprise for you two, to celebrate this very special occasion! If you arrive in the morning, we can start off your vacation with a Full Irish Breakfast in Dublin City in Temple Bar. This will help you to immerse yourself straight away into the Irish culture.

Depending on the weather, we will embark on a driving or walking tour of the city of Dublin taking in famous sights such as Kilmainham Gaol, the Guinness Brewery, Jameson Whiskey Distillery, the Book of Kells and / or Trinity College – as this is a customised tour and because it is your honeymoon, it is tailored specific to you and your interests, so just let us know what you like. 

To treat yourself, we recommend a stay in the luxurious Shelbourne Hotel right in the heart of Dublin City.

Today we depart Dublin and travel south to the medieval city of Kilkenny deep into Ireland’s Ancient East. Before arriving in Kilkenny, we stop at Avoca, a great place to stock up on some great quality Irish goodies. 

Then we carry on to visit the monastic settlement of Glendalough, which is located in the mythical Wicklow Mountains, which make for a great photo opportunity. Take a romantic stroll around the lakes of Glendalough and enjoy a hearty lunch in The Wicklow Heather Restaurant. 

We will now drive further south and spend the evening exploring some of Kilkenny’s main attractions: don’t miss Kilkenny Castle and the Smithwicks Brewery. 

End the day with a romantic dinner in Zuni’s right opposite the castle – we recommend you book a hotel in the city to enjoy Kilkenny’s fabulous nightlife and to celebrate this occasion in style.

Or, if you prefer a more relaxed pace we can stop at one of the numerous pubs and restaurants serving fresh locally caught seafood. Why not treat yourself to some oysters and a bottle of bubbly in one of Castletownbere’s fabulous restaurants – go on, it’s your honeymoon!
