Ireland Escorted Tours Will Take Travelers From The Titanic Museum To The Blarney Stone
Ireland escorted tours take on a genuine flair with our resident Irishman and owner of The Complete Traveler with his wife Mary, Gerry Buckley, who was born and raised in the Emerald Isle and loves the charm, lore and beauty of a country he calls home. The Complete Traveler is the answer for Ireland escorted tours.
The mission of Mary and Gerry is to bring Ireland as only an Irishman knows Ireland, and Ireland escorted tours have brought that magic to hundreds of “green” travelers yearning for the adventures.
Ireland is steeped in lore, magic and revelation. She produces some of the best woolens and pottery and her pubs are legendary. The Giant’s Causeway on the northern tip is where legends meet science and any Irishman will tell you that Finn McCool was indeed the giant that legends were born of. For centuries countless visitors have marveled at the majesty and mystery of the Giants Causeway. At the heart of one of Europe’s most magnificent coastlines its unique rock formations have, for millions of years, stood as a natural rampart against the unbridled ferocity of Atlantic storms. The rugged symmetry of the columns never fails to intrigue and inspire our visitors. To stroll on the Giants Causeway is to voyage back in time.
Ireland escorted tours will travel to the potters of Balleek and the Irish weavers of Triona as some of Ireland’s representatives of craftsmanship and artistry in a global market. The building that houses Triona Donegal Tweed Visitor Centre is known locally as the ‘Mart’ and once housed over 60 weavers from the local area. Dennis Mulhern himself was one of these weavers and worked in the Mart after leaving school at the age of 14.
Dennis is a fifth-generation hand weaver and his love of the craft saw him start a small bespoke Donegal Tweed company from his own home which he called Triona. The 80’s gave Dennis the opportunity to purchase the ‘Old Mart’ and the heart of Donegal Tweed came to life once again.
A visit to the museum where the Titanic was built in Belfast in Northern Ireland and the pride of the White Star fleet is a day well spend on an Ireland escorted tours. The Titanic Belfast was the world’s leading tourist attraction in 2016.
Your Ireland escorted tours would not be complete without a nip of the Gaelic brew along our journeys of Ireland. Jameson and Guinness are the favorite beverage of choice and jigs, songs, with good times, will be had in some of Ireland’s famous pubs along the way.
One very special place is Adare. It is a pocket of Ireland’s charm with thatched roofs and window boxes bursting with the season’s flowers. Adare, County Limerick, founded in the 13th century, abounds with a rich history and a strong heritage, which remain ever present in its monuments, its thatched cottages, its streets and its people.
Ireland escorted tours wouldn’t be complete without kissing the Blarney Stone! For over 200 years, world statesmen, literary giants, and legends of the silver screen have joined the millions of pilgrims climbing the steps to kiss the Blarney Stone and gain the gift of eloquence. Its powers are unquestioned but its story still creates debate.
