22 Day Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland

Birmingham, England’s 2nd largest city, is the place to begin an adventure through Ireland. This vacation explores Ireland’s rugged and beautiful land known as the “Emerald Isle.” Westward bound we enter the ancient country of Northern Wales. Here we ascend the rugged mountains of Snowdonia NP and then descend to Holyhead where we board a ferry to cruise leisurely across the Irish Sea to Dublin, Ireland’s capital. This land of dramatic scenery is steeped in legends of giants, leprechauns and searching for pots of gold. Mere words are not sufficient to describe the stark scenic grandeur of this incredible place. We guarantee you will return full of a legacy of wonderful memories to last a lifetime. The Emerald tour is "a can’t" miss add on to the England and Scotland Royal Tour. Your regal British Isles vacation will not be complete without taking home a bit’o luck of the Irish!
