Vacation Travel Packages and Tours

VisitIreland offers a wide range of guided and independent tours and vacation packages of Ireland and the British Isles. Our new 2006 season includes Dublin and London tours, guided motorcoach tours, self-drive vacations and hotel packages.

Self-Drive Vacations

A self-drive vacation package is designed for those traveling independently. Our packages combine accommodation and car rental. We have self-drive vacation packages covering Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales.

Escorted and Guided Tours

An escorted tour is comprised of a group of people whom travel together via motorcoach and follow a preplanned itinerary. Our escorted tours include accommodations, some meals, sightseeing transportation and the services of a knowledgeable professional tour guide who escorts the group.

Purchasing a vacation package or tour offers the following key benefits:

• Price - By contracting in volume for rental cars, bed and breakfast and other accommodation packages, ground transportation, sightseeing tours, meals and other services, we are able to achieve substantial cost savings and pass them along to our travelers. A tour or vacation package also provides peace of mind. Since you prepay for your travel, you know the cost in advance and can budget your vacation with greater degree of certainty. 
• Selection - In addition to negotiating volume pricing discounts leveraged purchasing also allows us to offer a range of accommodations, tours and vacation packages that would be nearly impossible to provide otherwise.
• Convenience - Our tour and vacation packages are bundled with all the appropriate travel resources including planned itineraries, tour and travel guides, accommodation directories, vouchers, prepaid and discount admission passes, maps etc.
