Ireland may seem like a tiny country, but its list of sights to see is lengthy. If you are inspired to discover a true Irish experience then allow Juniper to guide you in creating a dream itinerary.
As we travel around Ireland, you will be enchanted with wild nature, as well as good-natured, indigenous people throughout the country. Discover the Antrim coast during your trip to Northern Ireland, and you will be treated to one of Ireland’s finest gems. County Clare is the part of Ireland which is home to the world-famous Cliffs of Moher, which of course, you are going to be stopping in to see on any visit to County Clare. If you are looking to experience real Ireland then we recommend our “Best of Ireland” Tour or our Ireland “Self Drive” Tour.

Our self-drive Ireland trips are easily doable over the course of one weekend, but if you want a longer or more relaxing Irish road trip around the region, there is plenty to see.

Self-drive tours of Ireland are perfect for those who like to travel at their own pace and create their own plans.
Some accommodations of our Ireland Self Drive Tour include the famous highlights of Ireland Tour in Waterford, Dublin, Kerry, and Galway. Continue the Westward Tour by driving across Sligo and into Co Donegal, passing through the town of Donegal, then continuing onwards towards the Inishowen Peninsula, the northernmost section of the entire island of Ireland, an area full of ancient history.

Irish genealogy tours work with you and/or with professional genealogy experts to help trace your family’s ancestry back in Ireland. Some of our recommendations include the georgian style gentry houses with vibrantly painted doors, the liffey river, glasnevin cemetery museum, and the national cemeteries of Ireland, a who is who of contemporary Irish history.
Our custom-made itineraries give you an entirely unique, personal Irish experience. All you need to decide is how long you would like to be in Ireland, your tour budget, and what you’d like to do, Juniper will handle the rest! For such a relatively small country, Ireland has a long history of emigration, which was often driven by times of tragedy and need. Let Juniper help you trace your Irish roots with a customized Irish heritage tour!
With landmarks older than the pyramids of Egypt, and the castles perched high above all other hills, Ireland is a prime destination to soak up some real history. Spend the day in Dublin in the National Museum of archaeology and history, home to the overwhelming majority of the country’s history through the present. The national museum of Ireland, Dublin is filled with Irish history and culture. You can immerse yourself in ancient history, visit medieval castles, and walk the streets of heritage villages.
Ireland is home to thousands of castles, but Dublin Castle is among the best known, and the most preserved (it is over 800 years old). Dating back to the 1770s, Hillsborough Castle is the only royal Palace in Ireland, still used by the British Royal Family during their state visits to Northern Ireland. Both the castle and the Blarney Stone inside serve as popular attractions for visitors from around the world. Hopping inside for a quick tour is absolutely one of the best things to do in Ireland, and the tour is worth its cost of admission: it takes you places you might not have found simply by wandering around Dublin Castle alone.
