Few countries capture the heart and soul like Ireland. And few journeys bring it as vividly to life as this adventure does. From old Dublin to the Wild Atlantic Way on the windswept west coast, new layers of Irish identity unfold through the voices of storytellers, musicians and historians. Wander the Gaelic-speaking Aran Islands, stand atop the nearly 2,000-foot-high Slieve League sea cliffs, explore the prehistoric fort of Dun Aonghasa, and trace the history of the Troubles in Derry. In the evenings, cozy up in convivial pubs as we meet Ireland’s keepers of tradition, sharing their heritage in word, song and whisky. Slainte!
