Whatever Your Heart Desires
Begin your enchanting journey as we collect you from your accommodation and head to the awe-inspiring Rock of Cashel. This iconic medieval monastic site has dominated the skyline since the 12th century, but its history stretches back to the 5th century AD when St. Patrick converted King Aenghus of Munster. Home to one of Europe’s most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture, we’ll spend time exploring the site and its Visitor Centre.

Next, our journey takes us to the charming city of Waterford, nestled in Ireland’s southeastern corner. Known as the country’s oldest city, Waterford offers a rich tapestry of history and culture. We’ll arrive just in time for a delightful lunch at one of the city’s many fine dining establishments, where you can savor local Irish cuisine. Afterward, take a leisurely stroll along the ancient harbor frontage and marvel at the remnants of the city’s historic walls, which have stood the test of time.
One of the highlights of Waterford is Reginald’s Tower, a formidable fortification dating back to 1003. This historic tower now houses the Waterford Museum of Treasures, offering a fascinating glimpse into the area’s archaeological finds and medieval history. As you explore the exhibits, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for Waterford’s significance in Ireland’s storied past.
No visit to Waterford is complete without experiencing the world-renowned Waterford Crystal. Founded in 1783, the House of Waterford Crystal has become synonymous with elegance and craftsmanship. Located on the Mall, this iconic establishment offers guided tours where you can watch master craftsmen at work. Witness the creation of exquisite crystal pieces, each one a testament to the skill and artistry that have made Waterford Crystal a household name. This behind-the-scenes look at the crystal-making process is sure to be a highlight of your visit.

what our clients have to say...
“Our tour guide Dermot was amazing. He told us stories about the history behind all the little towns we drove through. He took us to visit amazing places we didn’t know we needed to see. He continued to check in on us when he was no longer our driver (last 2 days). By the time it was all over with it felt as if we were saying good bye to a friend. Nile and Nyree were amazing and easy to work with. I can’t give this team enough stars !!”
