Luxury Ireland Holidays & Tours

Why should you travel to Ireland with us?

Hover over the Cliffs of Moher, listen to old folk tales over a pint of Guinness in Dublin and fuel your Game of Thrones obsession in Northern Ireland’s County Antrim.

Renowned as the Emerald Isle, Ireland is a myth we have spent years untangling. A myth that dances up from rugged hilltop heathers, blowing across the Giant’s Causeway, down the Wild Atlantic Coast to blanket unique landscapes and vibrant city streets; it wraps its way around your soul, all at once giving you a casual sense of freedom that will sweep you off your feet. On our tailormade holidays to Ireland, our local historians and guides invite you in for sunrise hikes in Connemara National Park, a sense of history in Belfast and lyrical tours of Dublin city centre.

What to see and do in Ireland & Northern Ireland

As ever, if you can’t see it here then we can still plan it for you.

WELCOME TO THE EMERALD ISLE

The cities are home to bright facades and cobblestone streets while the coastline is repeatedly pummeled by forceful swells. The countryside is rich in age-old legends, the islands are dotted with postcard-worthy fishing villages, and the golf courses are some of the best in the world. A luxury tour of Ireland incorporating both the urban and the rural proves to be nothing short of remarkable and unforgettable. With Black Tomato, an all-encompassing holiday exposes the enlightening magic of this country and its people.

TOUR THE ICONS OF IRELAND

Small but mighty, the island of Ireland is rich in iconic landmarks, countryside castles, and friendly people. With so much to discover and explore, a tailormade tour with our on-site experts will ensure that nothing is missed. Begin with a private tour of Dublin, including an intimate day at the historic Trinity College and a few pints at the Guinness Storehouse. Move west to hover over the tremendous Cliffs of Moher, devour fish and chips in colourful Galway, and check into our favourite manor house for an authentic Irish experience.

Myth, Legend, and Folklore

Ireland’s mythological landscape comes alive through curated local experiences. On the Cooley Peninsula, the echoes of Cú Chulainn’s battles linger among the hills, while County Sligo’s prehistoric monuments whisper the legends of the Tuatha Dé Danann. The Giant’s Causeway rises dramatically from the Antrim coast, its basalt columns entwined with centuries of myth, and the Dingle Peninsula hides the silent messages of enigmatic Ogham stones. In Cork, Blarney Castle offers a playful kiss of history at the famous Blarney Stone. As dusk falls, seanchaí fill private castle halls with ancient tales, creating intimate, unforgettable encounters.

Ireland on a plate

Ireland’s gastronomy is as rich and varied as its landscapes. Taste the freshest seafood along the Wild Atlantic Way, sample rare whiskeys in private distillery tours, or join Michelin-starred chefs for intimate cooking sessions. From artisan cheeses to farm-to-table feasts in historic homes, every experience is curated to delight the senses. On a luxury itinerary, food becomes more than a meal — it’s a window into Ireland’s culture, craft, and heritage.

Fit for royalty

Ireland’s history comes alive when you spend the night in a centuries-old castle or stately country house. Wander private gardens, toast at open fires, and explore sweeping estates where every corridor and chamber tells a story. From Kerry’s rugged coastal retreats to Galway’s serene countryside manors, these exclusive stays combine authentic heritage with modern comfort, offering a rare glimpse into Ireland’s grand past. On one of our luxury journeys, every evening becomes as memorable as the day’s adventures.

From Dublin to the Highlands

Ireland pairs effortlessly with other European destinations, each offering its own distinct story. Explore Dublin’s literary heritage before wandering Edinburgh’s medieval lanes, or complement castle stays in Ireland with the sweeping landscapes and Highland estates of Scotland, where shared Celtic roots meet uniquely different character. London, meanwhile, provides an elegant urban counterpoint to Ireland’s rolling countryside, creating a journey that balances culture, history, and timeless charm.

AN ATLANTIC PAIRING

While Game of Thrones may be over, our love affair with exploring the shows various filming location is just getting started. Now more than ever before, a combination tour of Iceland and Northern Ireland is gaining momentum as something unique and wonderful. However, it’s not all about walking through Winterfell or gawking over the wall the white-walkers somehow managed to destroy. A tailormade tour through these two magnificent countries includes jaw-dropping waterfalls, crumbling castles, private horseback rides, and dazzling glaciers.
