One of Abbey Ireland & U.K.’s newest tours, Jewels of the North, is a seven-day excursion of Northern Ireland.
“(The tour) immerses visitors from North America in the culture and history of this rugged region, weaving a story stretching from thousands of years ago right up to modern day,” says Jennifer McGuire, the company’s sales and marketing executive.
On this tour, visitors will explore the wild and romantic beauty of Connemara, unspoiled by the passage of time. At St. Patrick’s resting place in Downpatrick, they follow in the patron saint’s footsteps and discover the roots of Christianity in Ireland. They also take a famous Black Cab tour, where they engage in the history of Belfast, the now-peaceful capital of the north that was once ensnared in a divisive civil war.
When groups travel to Ireland, they can find extensive air access from major cities, and the United States preclearance program makes travel simpler. They’re also greeted cordially by locals.
“Wherever they go, visitors can expect to travel safely, be received warmly, and experience the inimitable Irish ‘craic,’ or fun and banter,” McGuire says. “Ireland’s famed hospitality is matched by the beauty of its unique landscapes and the depth of the thousands of years of history it has lived through, making it a wonderfully interesting place to visit with a vast range of attractions and activities.”
Celebrating 40 years in business in 2018, Abbey Ireland & U.K. provides guaranteed hotel space, on-the-ground account handling, quick responses to all queries and customized itineraries.
