 This fascinating tour brings you the best of Ireland and Scotland. Ireland’s capital, Dublin, is the birthplace of writers including Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett, and home of Guinness beer. Nicknamed the “Emerald Isle” for its lush landscape of rolling green hills, it’s dotted with castles and ancient sites, such as massive 12th-century Cahir Castle. Scotland is a land of mountain wildernesses such as the Cairngorms and Western Highlands, interspersed with glacial glens (valleys) and lochs (lakes). Edinburgh, the capital, is loomed over by its iconic castle, and Glasgow, is famed for its vibrant cultural scene.
Scotland is also the ‘home of golf’, typified by the 16th-century Old Course at St Andrews. This escorted tour promises to be a favorite with Coda travelers. These areas are best seen with professional guides who bring the history, both ancient and modern, to life for you. And the flowers are in bloom this time of year. Join us and discover these countries where so much of American heritage is derived. Also available are the trips to just Ireland - Authentic Ireland Gay Tour, June 1 - 8, 2017, or just Scotland - Discovering Scotland Gay Tour, June 7 - 15, 2017, if you have been to one but want to see the other with a fun group of guys.

Continue along to the namesake Fitzwilliam Square, enclosed in 1813 to provide a quiet, more intimate atmosphere in bustling Dublin. Visit St.Stephens Green with its beautifully landscaped twenty-two acre parks and gardens, and Newman House, having a stolid exterior and astonishingly lavish interior “…with, perhaps, the finest artisan plasterwork in the city.”

Day 5 - Monday, June 5, 2017
 This morning after breakfast we will travel to Connemara.
Connemara is a land of lakes and rivers, bogs and mountains; a land of small villages where Gaelic is still the spoken language and where little has changed since the beginning of time – it is, without a doubt, the wildest and the most romantic part of Ireland. Connemara is a vast peninsula bordered by the arid and rocky coastline of Galway Bay in the south, characteristically noted in old texts as “…idyllic scenes of the Irish countryside replete with stone-walled, thatched-roof cottages.” On its northern shore the land is harsher and more rugged, with spectacular views of the Ocean and the beautiful fjord of Killary Harbour, with its steep mountains overlooking numerous lakes and large bog areas.
We will visit Kylemore Abbey and enjoy an afternoon tea in the restaurant.
 Originally built during the years 1867-1871 by Mitchell Henry, a wealthy London doctor, Kylemore Abbey is a 40,000 sq.-ft., 70-room castle located in the Kylemore Pass in Connemara. The architecture is best described as neo-gothic and the house displays all the characteristics of that period – perhaps one of its most famous features is the miniature cathedral, built in 1870 and known locally as “The Gothic Church”. Passed through varied ownerships, in 1920 the castle was purchased by the Catholic Church and converted into an abbey for The Irish Order of Benedictine Nuns. You may also visit the Kylemore Abbey Victorian Walled Garden, created during the castle’s original construction. Return to our hotel in Galway. This evening enjoy dinner at the Pullman Restaurant at your hotel. Overnight, in Galway.

Day 6 - Tuesday, June 6, 2017
 Today you will depart your hotel in Galway and travel to Derry. En-route enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. On arrival in Derry you will meet with a local guide for a guided walking tour of Derry City Walls. Founded in the 6th century by St Columba, Derry is the second largest city and port of Northern Ireland. Columba named it “Doire” or “Oak grove” which was later anglicised as Derry. In 1613 the city was selected as a major plantation project, organised by the London livery companies and, as a result, acquired the prefix London, hence Londonderry. In the same year the walls of Derry were built to protect the town from the Gaelic chieftains in Donegal – a walk on the walls is a must on any visit to Derry as they are among the best-preserved fortifications in Europe, rising to a height of 26ft., they are, in some areas 29.5ft. wide. Today these walls separate two communities, the Bogside ~ a Catholic ghetto with its famous murals, and the Waterside ~ a Protestant enclave.

Day 7 - Wednesday, June 7, 2017
 This morning you will depart Derry and travel along the Antrim coastline. Visit the Giants Causeway. The causeway was formed more than 60 million years ago due to volcanic eruption in the earth’s crust. Quickly cooled by the raging sea, the lava crystallized and formed into the 40,000 basalt polygonal columns projecting out of the ocean, thus forming the Giants Causeway. A must on any visit to the North of Ireland, the Causeway is an UNESCO World Heritage site, and is often referred to as the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World.’
Next, visit the Old Bushmills Distillery. The Old Bushmills Distillery in County Antrim, North Ireland, is the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery having received its “…licence to distil..” granted to Sir Thomas Phillipps by King James I in 1608. The present distillery was built in 1885 after the original had been destroyed by fire. A guided visit commences with an excellent short film on the history and distillation of Irish whiskey, followed by a tour of the distillery. The visit finishes in the distillery pub where all are invited to partake of a Wee Bush (a sample of Bushmills Whiskey). Enjoy lunch at the Bushmills Inn.  Continue to Belfast and on arrival enjoy a panoramic tour of the city. The tour will take in the leaning Albert Memorial Clock tower (Irelands answer to the Tower of Pisa) and the Opera House, which is one of Belfast’s great landmarks. Pass by the City Hall, the Opera house, The Crown Bar (which dates from 1885), Queens University and the Botanic Gardens. You will also see the Harland and Wolfe Shipyard, where the Titanic was built and launched in 1912.
