I'm going in May with my girlfriend and her cousins (all Irish decent) with CIE Tours. Will be a motorcoach tour with stops in Dublin, Donegal, Galway, Dingal and Killarney. Have a full day in Galway and a couple half days along the route with nothing on the schedule so looking to do side trips of some sort on our own. Any suggestions?
Liked Enis so much we spent an extra day going to pubs for Trad music and wandering around. The Old Ground Hotel is where we stayed and it was nicely centered for walking around town. The roads large enough to accommodate anything larger than a compact car are few and it leaves you with no way to get to the better, smaller venues. The Hill of Tara was very cool and the Island of Innishmore (one of the Aran Islands) was very worthwhile. Caught a ferry and spent a night there. In our case the fact we were from AK seemed to resonate with virtually every one and we had a great time with very friendly folks.
