- Small Island – Because Ireland is such a small Island you can go practically anywhere for the weekend. We like to pop down to Dingle for the many music festivals, up to Bundoran for a cheeky surf or across to Doolin for the Autumn beer festival. This is why you can manage to squeeze in the highlights of the Wild Atlantic Way on your 7 day Adventure tour Ireland.
- Best Food Producers – We have the best climate for beef farming and are on of the highest exporters of quality beef in the world. Our fish exports are one of the most sought after around the globe. Overland guests go wild for oysters, mussels and prawns from the Atlantic when on tour. The produce does not have far to travel from sea to plate! Delicious. Your Adventure tour Ireland team is ready to send you off to the best restaurants Ireland has on offer.
- Sexiest Accent – Yes we were very surprised to hear that Irish accents on men have been voted the sexiest accents in the world…Well I guess we should say a big ‘Top of the Morning to ya…. Diddly Dee… Potatoes’. How did we beat those sexy French Romeos and Italian Stallions?
- Best Musicians – Ireland undoubtedly has produced some of the best musical talent in the world – U2, Hozier and we will even go as far as Niall Horan from One Direction! These are international superstars who we are proud to call Ireland’s sons.
- St Patrick – This man has put Ireland on the world map time and time again. He is responsible for Irish men and Women spreading our culture and craic around the world every St Patrick’s Day. We feel immense pride as Irish people seeing buildings, towns, waterfalls and lakes being painted green in celebration of the man responsible for bringing Christianity to Ireland and banishing the snakes! You can take a hike up Croagh Patrick (Patrick’s Holy Mountain) and see the stunning views of Clew Bay, Westport on your small group tour of Ireland. Legend says that you are entitled to one sin when you complete the hike on the condition that you do it again!
- The Craic – This is the term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment and merriment. It is a word that appears daily in an Irish persons vocabulary. It is in our nature to seek out craic whenever we can. Even on the most miserable day there is craic to be found throughout the country. We love our fellow Irish men and women for their wit, humour and devilment.
- A Pint – Following on from the Craic* we are grateful for the humble pint. It doesn’t matter whether you fancy a pint of black stuff, an ale or a simple lager as long as you are having it in a cosy bar surrounded with good company you will be ‘Ar muin na muice – on the pigs back’. *The craic usually follows a couple of pints with friends old and new!!
- Culture – On a tour of Ireland you will hear traditional music, learn about Irish folklore and legends, see splendid Irish dancers and no doubt be told about our literary genius’ like Yeats, Behan and Joyce. These are all part of our wonderful Irish culture and what sets us apart from the rest of the world. Irish culture is embedded deep inside us. We love a good story. We live for music and dancing.
- Festivals – Throw a dart at a calendar and whatever date it lands on you can guarantee that there is a festival on somewhere in Ireland! Especially during the summer it is impossible to be bored.
- The Wild Atlantic Way – This newly packaged route for your Adventure tour Ireland has created waves of excitement throughout Ireland and abroad. We are so proud and grateful to have this amazing coastline on our doorstep, full of epic activities for us to enjoy and share with our guests on their adventure tour of Ireland with Overland!
