We will also visit the site of the Battle of the Boyne fought in 1690 just after the siege of Derry. This battle was between William Prince of Orange and his Father In-Law King James. It was essentially a European war and a fight for the English crown. Its ramifications are still fought over today in the North of Ireland. There is a new Boyne interpretive Centre recently opened last year which assists us in explaining this complex time in Irish history.

After this a further 20 minute drive down the motorway to the historic City of Dublin where we will provide a guided bus tour of the city. This tour will cover many parts of Dublin including Kilmainham Jail which once housed many famous Republican and Nationalist leaders namely Michael Collins, Eamon De Velera and James Connolly.

As we journey further around Dublin we will see the Guinness Brewery, Trinity College founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth 1, The G.P.O. scene of the reading of the Proclamation at the Easter Rising in 1916. Our guided tour will give you an overview of the British contribution to the architecture and Governance of Ireland and the benefits it brought prior to partition in 1921.

Dublin's original inhabitants has included the Viking, Celts, Gaels, Old English, Anglo/Normans, English but the most important inhabitants are "The Dubs" Nowadays the city has a cosmopolitan feel to it with its wide variety of Restaurants, Pubs and Nightclubs. The bustling O'Connell and Grafton Streets are a must see!!! The Craic's mighty as they say in Dublin City when the Guinness is following.

The Liffey River the watered vein that flows though the heart of Dublin inspired many great Dublin poets like James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde to name a few …Some say it's a romantic city we let you decide that …
