3/07/12 Welcome to Dublin, Ireland's lively capital city! Arrive at 7am and be transferred to your hotel, the Burlington Hotel. Your Classic room has been pre-reserved so it is guaranteed for an early check-in! At 2pm, embark on a city tour with a local guide that brings life to Dublin's grand archtiectural treasurs and history stretching back more than 1,000 years.

You are transported away from everyday life to the richness of Ireland's famous writers including Joyce, Shaw, Yeats, Wilde, Beckett and Behan. Each group is led by actors on a trail from pub to pub - no props, no lights, no make-up, just the voice and personality of the actor. Nothing like it exists anywhere else in the world.
