Increasingly, many holidaymakers to Ireland would prefer to abandon their car, and take things at a different pace. But if the thought of coordinating train, plane and ferry timetables seems daunting, you’d be right! That’s why we’ve carefully designed and created Irish holidays that are ideal for independent travellers who want to experience Ireland without their car – but also without hassle.

Many of these are adapted versions of our popular self-drive holidays in Ireland, while others are specifically designed for the non-driver, using the services of expert local guided. By definition your experience will be very different, you will be more restricted in some ways as to what you can see, but in other ways travelling without a car can be a liberating experience, and forward planning is even more important.

With our initmate knowledge of Ireland, that's where we come in!
