1/6/2026 - 1/6/2026
Savor the true splendor of Ireland with an unforgettable journey curated by Collette Travel and the Morton Chamber of Commerce.
Discover the rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and warm hospitality that make Ireland unlike anywhere else in the world.
Explore the vibrant city of Dublin by motorcoach, wander along charming Grafton Street, and take in the country’s most iconic sights—from the storied Rock of Cashel to the legendary Blarney Castle. Experience the rugged beauty of the Dingle Peninsula, enjoy tea and scones with a local Irish family, and stand in awe atop the dramatic Cliffs of Moher. Your adventure even includes an overnight stay in a stately Irish castle, complete with grand reception rooms and timeless charm. And of course, no trip to Ireland would be complete without sampling the “water of life” at an authentic whiskey distillery.
Whether you’re drawn to the rolling hills of County Kerry or the historic treasures scattered across the countryside, this tour promises a remarkable Irish experience.
