An early morning departure from Stamford Brook, West London today for the drive to the ferry port at Holyhead, North Wales. Irish Ferries 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!

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.

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

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.
