Why I Chose This for You

Because Ireland has a way of wrapping you in its warmth — and this trip captures that perfectly. It’s the best of the west: dramatic landscapes, cosy pubs, traditional farm life, and historic gems. For solo travellers, it’s both welcoming and worry-free, with everything taken care of so you can simply enjoy the craic.

About this Trip

Discover one of the most beautiful and unspoilt corners of Ireland, where ancient Gaelic heritage meets the warmth of traditional hospitality. From your delightful base at the four-star McWilliam Park Hotel, you’ll explore colourful Galway City, cruise a majestic fjord, wander the dramatic Cliffs of Moher, and lose yourself in the rugged beauty of Connemara.


This solo-friendly tour is a tapestry of iconic sights and authentic encounters: see sheepdogs in action at Glen Keen Farm, admire the historic Kylemore Abbey, and soak up the charm of Ireland’s west coast towns. With everything organised and a friendly tour manager by your side, all you need to do is enjoy the adventure.
