4. We will travel with EF Tours, a company that CA has used for over a decade. Our travel dates are March 25- April 2, 2011. That’s 7 nights. The cost for the trip varies with the number of people going. The more that go, the lower the cost. In our custom itinerary (created by Mrs. Pitt and EF Tours), there is time to relax and enjoy the trip, not just speed through everything. You can truly feel immersed in Irish culture, not rushed from one stop to the next. We are staying in “superior”class hotels and each room has its own bathroom. Trip Details
