Collette is inviting travelers to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day next year with its “The Best of Ireland” Explorations tour – one of the most popular of its kind. The tour was a favorite amongst travelers in 2022. Travelers who took the tour rated the experience as excellent 87% of the time last year.
The 15-day tour gives travelers the opportunity to explore the island’s culture and its history. Throughout the tour, they’ll get the chance to listen to folklore and legends that have been passed down through generations told by a seanchaí (Irish storyteller), tour cottages in Glencolcille that have been maintained since the 18th century, and even play a traditional Irish game of hurling. Travelers secure a spot on the “The Best of Ireland” tour for the March 5 and 12, 2024 departures to experience the holiday in its home nation.
"The 'Best of Ireland' Explorations tour ranks as one of our top experiences. Across a span of 15 days, travelers will fully immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Irish culture. Whether it's meeting diligent sheepdogs at Caherconnel Farm or engaging in a game of hurling with locals at Malzards Pub – this explorations tour is a great way to absorb many aspects of the local culture and experience the hospitality of those who create it" said Jaclyn Leibl-Cote, Collette's president and chief customer experience officer. "Plus, if travelers book now, they will have the possibility of being in Ireland for the iconic St. Patrick's Day – an experience that will be cherished forever!"
