On all of Brendan’s 2013 Ireland Guided Vacations, for example, each tour has a unique Gathering experience, from a personally invited lunch in a private home with local expert on W.B. Yeats in Sligo on the Castle & Manors Boutique Journey to a Bodhrán (Irish Drum) lesson for everyone in one of Ireland’s oldest pubs on the Enchanting Emerald Isle itinerary.According to Nico Zenner, President of Brendan Vacations, “Because we have our own office and staff in Ireland, we take care of our guests in the best personal way. In fact, we’ve secured tickets for the 2013 St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Dublin. It is a highly coveted and anticipated event and we expect it will sell out quickly as only a limited number of tickets are available. Marching in the St. Patrick’s Day parade is just one of the many unique and wonderful opportunities our guests can participate in during The Gathering Ireland 2013.”
If you miss out on St. Paddy’s Day, or if you have another interest in Ireland, there are a number of other “Gathering” events happening all year long. Whether it’s the Temple Bar TradFest in Dublin in January or the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival in October, just choose what you want to participate in, and Brendan can put together a completely personalized package, from a short 3-5 day trip to a full itinerary. Brendan offers the best in accommodations, sightseeing, rental cars or private chauffeurs, airport transfers and event tickets. You make your plans and let Brendan do the work!
