    Carl

    Asked on January 7th, 2024

    I am interested in the Irish Gold 8 days/7 Nights tour, July 10, 2024 to July 17, 2024. Our group is 6 adults, and two children, ages 14 and 9. Is there availability? What would the overall cost be? If we arrived in Dublin on July 9th, can you extend us the same arrival hotel? We like the idea of the small group tour. For our reference, what are the additional destinations on the tour with 15 destinations?
