NEW
LOW AIRFARES TO IRELAND!!
Spectacular airfare sales are going on for all of our destinations,
and now is a great time to take advantage of the widely available
value costs. Aer Lingus is offering airfare to Ireland from the
U.S. during the month of May for around $380 roundtrip, which
is the lowest the fare has been in years, perhaps ever! In addition
U.S. Air has added direct flights to Ireland from Philadelphia,
which means there are now four airlines in the U.S. offering non-strop
service into Ireland. We have also negotiated some good rates
with some of our preferred hotels, car rental companies, and other
suppliers, all of which are anxious to attract the American traveler
this year. Please give us a call to see what we can find for you.
NEW
LUXURY ESCORTED MOTORCOACH TOURS
Perhaps our newest and most exciting additions to the Warren
Tours travel program are our new luxury Escorted Motorcoach
Tours in Ireland. The first tour is "Gardens and Castles
of Ireland", an exclusive luxury tour of Ireland's most
historic, unique, and interesting gardens and castles, taking
place in August, 2003. The other two tours Food, Drink, Music,
Laughs, are Food & Drink tours, both casual, fun, and focused
luxury escorted tours, culminating in a world-renowned Irish
gourmet food festival, either the 49th Annual Galway Oyster
Festival in September or the Kinsale Festival of Autumn Flavours
in October. These highly specialized tours, which I have planned
myself, will be small, very luxurious, high-service Escorted
tours, though we would also be delighted to offer you a similar
itinerary for a private Self-Drive or Chauffeur-Driven option.
The maximum number of guests for each Escorted tour will be
25 people, and only the best attractions, visits, and guest
lecturers will be included. My goal in designing these new special
interest tours was to take our established boutique concept
for personally customized private tours, and apply it to a very
specialized, well planned escorted tour that will meet the needs
of each of our individual guests.
Gardens
& Castles of Ireland
For our first deluxe escorted tour, Gardens and Castles of Ireland,
we have hired the services of Marianne Gorman, an accomplished
Irish tour guide, who is a well-known expert in the field of
Ireland's gardens and historic homes. Guests will see a variety
of prized gardens, including Mount Usher Gardens, Garnish Island,
Brian Cross's Lakemount, and the Helen Dillon Gardens. The castles
and private homes toured will be just as prestigious, to include
Glin Castle, Muckross House, Blarney Castle, Kilkenny Castle,
Leixlip Castle, and Castletown House. The highpoints are lunch
with the Earl of Rosse at his ancestral home, Birr Castle &
Gardens, and a lecture by the Honorable Desmond Guinness in
his home, Leixlip Castle. A stay at Glin Castle, private home
of Desmond Fitzgerald, the Knight of Glin, is another unique
experience guests will enjoy. In addition some of Ireland's
most treasured attractions will be visited including the Cliffs
of Moher, Waterford Crystal Factory, and Dublin City. Of course
only Ireland's most elegant and beautiful fairy tale castles
and world class hotels will be used, including The Park Hotel
Kenmare, Dromoland Castle, Waterford Castle, and The Merrion.
Food,
Drink, Music, Laughs
For the Food & Drink Tours our guests will be treated to
a fun, luxurious, and savory journey through Ireland, where
New Irish Cuisine and coveted Irish drink are complimented by
traditional Irish music and some old fashioned good craic (Irish
for fun). Each tour is capped off with a gourmet food festival,
either the 49th Annual Galway Oyster Festival in September,
or the Kinsale Festival of Autumn Flavours in October. Both
tours include a stay at the Galway Great Southern Hotel in Galway
City and The Clarence in Dublin, and they include one night
at an authentic luxury Irish country house, famous for world
class cuisine: either Dunbrody Country House or Ballymaloe House,
where guests will have a demonstration presented by an Irish
country house gourmet chef. Of course Irish must-sees will also
be visited, including the Midleton Whiskey Distillery, Kilkenny
Castle, The Cliffs of Moher, and the Guinness Storehouse.
NEW
SELF-DRIVE & CHAUFFEUR DRIVE OPTIONS
The Warren Tours hallmark, Self-Drive and Chauffeur Driven custom
tour packages, are also available, and still include your choice
of Ireland's most splendid castles, country houses, hotels,
and resorts, with a few new properties for you to explore. We
will soon be adding the 5-Star Hotel Castle Dunloe near Killarney
Town to our Classic Luxury Ireland package when this spectacular
resort awakens for the season. The Classic
Luxury Ireland tour has become increasingly popular for
travelers looking for a complete luxury tour of Ireland without
all of the extras, while our 5-Star
Irish Castles & Country Houses will always be a favorite
for our clients who need a good pampering. The most exciting
development in the custom side of Warren Tours is our addition
of new tour packages to Scotland, England, and Wales. At the
end of March we will begin offering specific packages for Self-Drive
and Chauffeur-Drive luxury tours of the U.K., to include our
existing preferred U.K. hotels and attractions, as well as some
new and exciting additions to our supplier list. Check the website
or give us a call for our latest updates.
