Ireland Self-Drive Tours
Vacation Packages 2020/2021You want to discover Ireland in your own way. Your preference is to have an itinerary in mind, but you want to pull over when you see a crafts store down a winding lane. You want to join a group that 's about to take off into the woods. Meet locals. Get behind the wheel of a car and be open to Authentic experiences. Consider a self-drive tour of Ireland.
We’ll arrange the type of car you want—it doesn’t have to be a stick-shift!—give you lodging options, depending on the sort of adventure you want, and set that part up for you. For some of us, there is something about the freedom of the road that is unrivalled.

We have romantic escapes and getaways in the secluded regions of Ireland. Pubs and Music. Whiskey and Wellness. A Wellness Retreat for renewal. Wild Ireland. A wondrous Game of Thrones immersion.
Go to enchanting villages. Stay in castles. Relax and renew at a spa. Savor Ireland’s culinary bounty. You can use one of our routes, or mix and match parts of several.
