About your Lodgings
The Irish Pub and Music tour includes two nights at a 4-star Georgian Townhouse in Dublin and 6 nights at top-rated bed and breakfasts. There is nothing as intimate, warm, quirky, and personal as a bed & breakfast. B&Bs dot the Irish countryside, and they differ in style and ambiance. Each room is different than the next—there are no cookie-cutter rooms in a B & B. However if you prefer, you may upgrade any or all of your nights to hotel or luxury accommodation - let us know in the space provided on the Get Quote form. Below are some recommended upgrades for this tour. Special Places to Stay are just that. Select one for a truly memorable experience.

Dublin's O'Connell Street. This is the city’s main thoroughfare which is flanked by interesting buildings including the GPO (General Post Office). This was the scene of the famous Easter Rising - where on Easter Monday, 1916, a group of rebels led by Pádraig Pearse, proclaimed the Irish Republic independent from England. You can also see the Spire - 7 times the height of the GPO - it was erected in 2003 to mark the Millennium.

Client Reviews & Testimonials
I really loved the west coast!
We toured Dingle Peninsula, the Burren, and the Black Valley and the scenery was spectacular. Our group of 6 enjoyed many of the pubs - food was excellent and people were friendly. We heard some really good trad music. Our favorite town was Dingle - we stayed 2 nights so we were able to do more exploring. It was all great craic! I definitely want to come back to Ireland! The service that we received from Authentic Ireland was the best. - Alicia Bauman, May 2010
We highly recommend everything about our trip to our friends!
I loved all of Ireland that we saw. The diversity --barren mountains, rocks, green fields with sheep, stone walls, cliffs and the sea, the pubs.... the lovely hotels and service and walking distance to the shops. - Jane Nelson, April 2010
A great experience, we had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend you.
Loved Killarney, Doolin, the Conemarra area outside of Galway and everything else we saw. Our favorite times were when we interacted with the Irish people. We stopped into a pub in midafternoon in a small town outside of Killarney area and found two older gentlemen singing and playing the accordion and spoons- not as entertainment but just to while away a Saturday afternoon. - Kati Ford, April 2010
Thank You for helping us in organizing such an amazing vacation!
