When you put yourself in our hands, we take that responsibility very seriously. As well as providing you with all the expert tuition you need, we also take care of everything – from picking you up at the airport to arranging accommodation and activities. Why? Because we want to make sure that you enjoy your stay in Ireland to the full!

have the opportunity to kiss the Blarney Stone to receive the gifts this bestows. There is also
time to take a walk through the Enchanted Garden before doing some shopping in the Woollen
Mills.

wildlife park at Fota. As Cobh was the last port of call of the Titanic, one of the main

part of the 20th Century as they visit the charming Muckross Farm. A visit to the majestic Torc
Waterfall is a must, and there is time to visit Killarney town.
Cashel & Mitchelstown Caves
The students will visit the Rock of Cashel and also Mitchelstown Caves for a mixture of
historical and natural wonder. The Rock of Cashel is one of the most spectacular archaeological
sites in Ireland, while the Caves are a unique and breath-taking natural formation.
Bunratty Castle
This 15th Century castle is one of the highlights of any visit to the Limerick region. The castle
itself is a well-preserved part of Irish history, while the folk park next to the castle offers a
wonderful insight into life in Ireland in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Ring Of Kerry
The Ring of Kerry is part of the mystical & unspoilt Ireland that has attracted visitors for
hundreds of years. Majestic mountains swoop down to pristine lakes, while the magnificent
Atlantic ocean awaits around the next bend.
