Getting To Know Ireland With A Walking Tour
There’s no better way to get to know local culture and scenery than with a walking tour. Ireland is no different. And the beauty of the landscape makes it a first choice holiday. There are a lot of old roads and paths that are away from the domain of en masse tours, and the consumerism that often accompanies those routes. The Ireland that you’ll see on a walking tour is the Ireland that the locals live in - surrounded by mountains, boglands, and dotted with quiet valleys. And then there’s the coast, rich with fishing villages and wonderful little restaurants.
You can choose either a guided or self-guided Irish walking tour. Guided walking tours give you a real chance to find out about the folklore and the local culture. They are usually quite small, and provide a back-up service including luggage transportation and maps, that you don’t get on a self-guided walking tour. They usually have accommodation arranged in small hotels, and single rooms are usually available for a small surcharge.
Of course, if you’re a very independent person, or you’re with a group of friends, you might prefer a self-guided walking tour. In the self-guided walking tours organized by Irish Tourism, the accommodation is all organized and paid for in advance. You are met at the airport, and your luggage is transferred each day to your accommodation. Whilst you’re walking at your own pace, and without a guide, there is still a structure to your holiday.
