St Patrick's Day

What better way than to celebrate St Paddies day than by commencing festivities in London and partying all the way to Wales, where you get to board the ferry with your friends? Once you arrive its time to sample a pint or two of the black stuff and prepare yourself for your welcome party and all the fun and craic to come!

St Paddies day 2010 has come and gone. We will be running tours in 2011 and the itinerary will be very similar to what is below, so please keep checking back!

Monday 15th March:
An early morning departure from Stamford Brook, West London today for the drive to the ferry port at Holyhead, North Wales. Irish Ferries 'Isle of Irishmore' takes 3.5 hours and has an excellent authentic Irish bar on board! Arrival at our Dublin accommodation is early evening, in plenty of time to explore the great nightlife, which is just a short walk away from our accommodation. Tonight we have a huge welcome party organised in a local bar to start the tour as we mean to continue!

 

Tuesday 16th March:
Today we have a group session at the famous Guinness Brewery for the afternoon where included in your tour price is the admission, the self-guided tour of the brewery and some complimentary Guinness!

Alternatively, we are offering an optional day excursion today to Belfast.


Of course if you prefer, you are free to do your own thing throughout the day. You may like to take in a local tour of Dublin, or pass the time with a spot of shopping down Grafton Street. This evening we will head out to the Temple Bar area to sample more of the famous Dublin nightlife and hospitality.

 

Wednesday 17th March:
St Patrick's Day! Enjoy the colour and spectacle of the day as the St Patrick's parade snakes its way through the streets of Dublin, or just sit in one of the friendly pubs and get into the Guinness with a bunch of locals! This is the biggest day of the tour and you are free to enjoy it as you wish. We'll provide maps and information on the festival program and concerts so you can take in whatever appeals to your tastes.

 

 


Thursday 18th March:
An early start for the ferry home! If you're very keen, there's the bar on the ferry, otherwise we pass time on the coaches on the way home with some videos and music. Arrival back in London is approximately 8.30pm where we say goodbye to our new found friends until the tour reunion!


 

Fancy a day trip to belfast?

As an optional excursion you can choose to take a day trip to Northern Ireland and the city of Belfast via the St. Patrick's Centre in Downpatrick. The return transport and entrance to the St. Patrick's Centre (incl. an interactive cinematic display) is included in the day trip price of USD $39. Once in Belfast you will have a few hours in which to take in the famous Black Taxi tour of the city or simply explore the city at your leisure.
