Top 5 Must-See Spots in Ireland You Can Explore with Our Group Tours

Ireland is a land of myth, music, and mesmerising landscapes. From the jagged cliffs of the west coast to the vibrant heart of Dublin, the Emerald Isle is brimming with experiences waiting to be uncovered. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller, discovering Ireland as part of a group brings a whole new level of connection and joy. At Celtic Horizon Tours, our group tour packages are carefully curated to make your journey seamless, sociable, and filled with unforgettable moments.

Travelling with others—be it family, friends, or newfound companions—offers more than just shared laughs and photo ops. It’s also cost-effective, convenient, and safe. According to the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation (ITIC), over 10 million visitors explored Ireland in 2023, with an increasing number opting for social group tour packages due to the flexibility, cultural immersion, and structured ease they provide.

So, where can you go with our Ireland travel packages? Let’s dive into five unmissable destinations that showcase the soul of Ireland.

1. Cliffs of Moher – The Wild Atlantic Wonder

Standing 214 metres above the crashing Atlantic Ocean, the Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s most iconic natural attraction. With sweeping views stretching as far as the Aran Islands on a clear day, it’s no surprise that the cliffs attract over 1.6 million visitors annually. As part of our group tours, you’ll get more than just a photo stop—we include local guides who breathe life into the geology, wildlife, and legends that surround this dramatic stretch of coastline.

The cliffs are not just a sightseeing destination; they’re a place to feel Ireland’s raw, untamed beauty. You’ll share the awe with your fellow travellers, creating the kind of memory that sticks long after the holiday ends.

2. Dublin – Where Tradition Meets Buzzing City Life

No journey through Ireland is complete without soaking in the charisma of its capital city. Dublin is a vibrant mix of old and new—where 1,000-year-old cathedrals stand next to indie coffee shops and live music pours from every pub.

With our group travel Ireland options, we make navigating Dublin easy and insightful. Enjoy a guided stroll through Trinity College to see the Book of Kells, explore the cobbled charm of Temple Bar, and finish off at the Guinness Storehouse for a pint with panoramic views of the city.

What makes Dublin special in a group setting is the shared culture—whether that’s tapping your feet together to trad music or discovering the literary legacy of writers like Joyce and Beckett.

3. Ring of Kerry – The Scenic Route of Legends

Ireland’s southwest is home to the Ring of Kerry, a 179-kilometre loop that takes you through rolling hills, remote beaches, rugged coastlines, and quaint villages. The route is as rich in folklore as it is in jaw-dropping scenery.

Going solo on this drive is tricky—but with Celtic Horizon Tours, it’s a breeze. Our drivers and guides ensure you don’t miss a single story or view, all while you relax and enjoy the experience with your fellow adventurers.

You’ll pass through charming stops like Killorglin, Sneem, and Waterville—each with its own charm, character, and history. Along the way, you might even catch a glimpse of wild deer in Killarney National Park or grab a handmade knit from a local market.

4. Giants Causeway – Nature’s Puzzle

Up north, the Giant’s Causeway offers a geological spectacle that baffles the mind and stirs the imagination. Made of around 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is the result of volcanic activity—but Irish legend tells of a giant named Finn McCool building a pathway to Scotland.

As part of our northern group tours, you’ll walk across these otherworldly formations, hear the myths, and enjoy some of Ireland’s most dramatic coastlines. The experience is only enhanced when shared with fellow travellers—everyone seeing something different in the rock formations, everyone hearing the same story and reacting together.

Nearby stops include the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and Dunluce Castle, making this one of the most exciting itineraries in our Ireland travel packages.

5. Galway – The Bohemian Heart of Ireland

Galway is the cultural heartbeat of the west. With its cobbled lanes, colourful shopfronts, and vibrant arts scene, it’s a place that feels alive day and night. Street performers, festivals, and foodie gems make it the perfect end—or start—to any Irish adventure.

Our group tour packages give you the freedom to enjoy Galway’s highlights at your pace while still benefiting from a well-organised itinerary. From the Spanish Arch to the Galway City Museum, and all the pubs, cafés, and sea breezes in between—you’ll explore it all with a group that feels like family by the end.

According to Failte Ireland, Galway saw a 12% rise in international visitors in 2023, thanks to its inclusion on the Wild Atlantic Way and its reputation as Ireland’s friendliest city.
