In and around Ireland

In late April of 2006 my family went on a tour of Ireland with CIE.
This was my second time in Ireland and my parent's first time abroad.
We selected a ten day tour called the "Irish Welcomes" from CIE. We had the best driver/guide. His name was Tony. He sang and told stories, he was very friendly and funny. I'd recommend CIE to anyone.
