Along Europe's Scenic "Yellow Roads"

Céad Mile Fáilte, Irish Gaelic for "one hundred thousand welcomes"... from the first dawning of a countryside morning to the setting sun over rolling green hills, an Irish welcome for visitors is genuine, exuding warm hospitality...

Tauck's Yellow Roads take you from the Giant's Causeway in the north to the Ring of Kerry in the south – and along the way you'll stay at luxury accommodations including grand hotels and elegant manor houses. Learn the story of three centuries of Irish emigrants building a new life in North America at the Ulster American Folk Park. Get a little taste of the artistic side of Ireland on visits to the Belleek Pottery factory. Experience past and present in Dublin and Belfast and the warmth of small villages. Have lunch with a family who run a working dairy farm. Explore the magnificent Titanic exhibit and enjoy a special 9-course tasting dinner inspired by the great ship's menu in the city where it was built, Belfast.

All this and more on our new Small Group Ireland journey. Read Less

Belfast's Titanic exhibit and a Titanic dinner

Belfast's award-winning Titanic museum... followed by a 9-course Titanic tasting dinner

Learn insider stories behind Titanic, designed to be one of the finest ships ever to grace the seas, on your visit to Titanic Belfast, built on the site of the former Queen's Island shipyards that produced the ill-fated liner. J. Bruce Ismay, Chairman of the White Star Line, asked Lord Pirrie of shipbuilders Harland & Wolff to construct "a stable ship that will not disturb the sediment in the fine wines" they were drinking together at a planning meeting. And while Titanic was, according to her builders, "as nearly as perfect as human brains can make her," she proved no match for nature. Discover more in modern-day galleries that bring the legendary ship back to life... and enjoy a 9-course Titanic tasting dinner in the Great Room of The Merchant Hotel.

Ulster American Folk Park

Hear compelling stories of Irish emigrants to North America at the Ulster American Folk Park

Immerse yourself in the story of the brave Irish emigrants who made the arduous journey across the Atlantic to start a new life in America hundreds of years ago on your visit to the Ulster American Folk Park, an acclaimed open-air museum in Omagh, in Northern Ireland's County Tyrone. Wander through thatched cottages and log cabins, and meet costumed characters who will show you traditional crafts, tell you a few stories and maybe even share a bit of their good food. Board a full-scale emigrant ship to experience the conditions faced by many as they set sail for a new life in America. With 30 buildings and exhibits to explore, the Ulster American Folk Park is a wonderfully unique experience.

Visit and lunch at a family dairy farm

Visit a working dairy farm in Kilmallock for a lunch of Irish specialties

Discover the importance of farming in the west of Ireland – and learn firsthand about the country's modern agribusiness pursuits – on a visit to a working dairy farm in Kilmallock that's been in the same family for generations. You're invited for a light, farm-fresh Irish lunch and some excellent stories!

Ashford Castle

A taste of the royal life of the past on a two-night stay at Ashford Castle

Turrets and ramparts, armor and oak paneling, Waterford chandeliers and gilt mirrors reflect the royal architectural décor you'll find at Ashford Castle. Its first stones were laid in 1228, and since that time eight privileged Irish families have called this 83-bedroom castle – now one of Ireland's most magnificent castle-hotels – home. And for two memorable nights during this journey, you can, too.
