Ashford CastleDay 1: Dublin & Russborough House Your tour starts at Dublin Airport with a transfer to your hotel between 7:00 am and 12:00 noon. If your flight arrives later, transfer to the hotel at your own expense. At 2:00 pm take a short ride through the Wicklow Mountains for a guided tour around stately Russborough House, noted for its art and photography collections. In the evening discuss your itinerary with your tour director over a welcome drink and he will assist you in choosing a suitable restaurant to dine independently.

Day 2: Book of Kells & Theatre Evening This morning see central Dublin's public buildings, tranquil parks and bustling shopping streets. Drive past Leinster House, the seat of government, and St. Stephen's Green. Cross the River Liffey and see the wide O'Connell Street with many monuments and pause at the Famine Memorial. Walk through Trinity College to see stately buildings and visit the Old Library where the priceless 8th century manuscript of the Book of Kells is housed. In the afternoon you may take an independent open-top bus tour and a visit to Guinness or Jameson. Dine in the hotel restaurant before heading to the world-famous Abbey or Gate Theatre for a performance. (B, D)

At a nearby farmhouse sample home-made scones with tea and watch a farmer use his trained dogs to round up sheep.
