Being born and raised in Ireland allows me, Liam Stapleton as director of Stapleton tours to have a distinct advantage over many tour operators. Having toured every city in Ireland and the majority of towns and villages, I wish also for my fellow travellers to experience the cultural and historical landmarks which make Ireland a unique place to visit. The Irish also share a historical friendship with America. Since famine times the Irish community have made their home in many of the major cities like, Boston, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The majority of descendants of these original families have returned to visit their roots a number of times. With the contacts developed by Stapleton tours we are able to offer discounted rates to our clients traveling both to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Landscapes which are dotted with castles and spectacular scenery touch the very spirit of the traveler. Plus you have the added advantage of going off the beaten track to my hometown village to partake in some food and traditional song and dance with family and friends. There is no better way to experience the culture of Ireland than to meet and chat with the Irish themselves. Prior to leaving for Ireland you will be informed of all aspects of the tour. Any queries you may have will be answered before leaving on the excursion so that you will have peace of mind knowing that you will have full knowledge of your trip. Every morning breakfast is served in your hotel. A table d’hote dinner is a 4-course meal with 3 to 5 choices of appetizers, entrees and desserts followed by tea or coffee. Special requests for vegetarian or low fat meals should be made directly to the hotel on arrival. So when you arrive in Ireland just sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation.
