The Best of Ireland

10-day independent rail trip across four Irish cities

Railbookers runs this 10-day, 9-night independent rail package through Ireland, moving between Killarney, Galway, Dublin, and Belfast, with a return to Dublin later in the trip. The operator describes travelers as breezing from city to city by train, taking in the country's rolling countryside and coastline along the way. Alongside the rail travel, the package includes handpicked day trips, sightseeing tours, and admission tickets in each destination, adding some guided structure to what is otherwise an independent trip. Priced from $2,149 per person, about $215 a day, it suits travelers who want to see several Irish cities by train while still having sightseeing and day trips arranged for them rather than planning every outing from scratch.
