Cultural Coach Tours of Ireland, with Kennedy & Castles
A BOUTIQUE CULTURAL COACH TOUR
Travel Ireland on a luxury tour with two professional traditional Irish musicians: Nuala Kennedy and Brenda Castles. We aspire to sharing with you some of our favourite places, and people as well as our love of the song, music, history and mythology of Ireland. We limit places on our tour to a minimum of fifteen and a maximum of twenty-five – as a smaller group gives us more freedom to explore unique places, and visit gourmet restaurants and areas of interest that are not available to larger tour groups, not to mention plenty of space on the coach!
We aspire to the highest level of comfort ‘on the road’ – you will be staying in beautiful 4 or 5 star hotels, eating gourmet food but yet, going on some unique cultural adventures off the beaten track. Our activities are gently paced and if you have any mobility issues you can contact us to discuss your needs. Your safety is our number one priority, as well of course, as having maximum levels of fun!
Our evening entertainment features private concerts with some of the finest musicians, singers and storytellers Ireland has to offer. Because of our small group size, you will have the opportunity to meet with these performers directly. If you play an instrument, you will have chances to play in sessions along the way.
Here’s what some members of our 2024 tour had to say about SAMHAIN 2024:
“I appreciated seeing Ireland through the eyes of two Irish musicians who seem to know EVERYONE” -Janice, New Mexico
“As I did not know what to expect, I was very pleasantly surprised at the depth of the tour. It was personal, hitting lots of highlights of tourism without being “the same old thing” -Carol, California
“ The experiences were so very unique and personal. The memories of this extraordinary trip will last forever. I will highly recommend this tour to everyone interested in visiting Ireland” -Sue, Arizona
“I loved the mix of traditional music, folklore, archaeology, history and mysticism that made this a very special spiritual journey for me as I research my ancestral roots in Ireland” -Shelby, Arizona
“Wonderful time; outstanding choice of cultural, historical and musical experiences. Over-the-top accommodations and meal offerings. Also, nice that it included both those who were musicians along with those of us who weren’t so it wasn’t skewed toward either.” -Steve, California
“I absolutely loved the tour guides, the entertainment, and the locales. Everything was well-planned out. We were treated to experiences ordinary tourists wouldn’t dream of, and we met the most interesting, eccentric, and talented people” -Cynthia, Arizona
“Thank you for a fantastic tour! Songs fill my head, memories fill my heart and gratitude abounds! I appreciated the intimate experiences you curated for us – this was deep and wonderful time!” -Diane, Massachusetts
