History Trips

History is everywhere!

Almost all of the trips we do will include informal classes on Irish history and culture. We promise that before you do any tours or field trips, you'll have had a great introduction to the context from our expert guides. The Irish landscape is like an outdoor museum, with ancient monuments, monasteries, castles and churches everywhere. To really make the most of your time in Ireland, you should be with well informed locals, who know all of the secret spots, and the tourist traps to avoid - that's us! If you're interested in learning the history and culture of Ireland in an authentic and fun visit, then sign up here.

“ Most of my close loved ones will say that they are tired of hearing about this Ireland trip. It was the experience of a lifetime and I honestly cannot wait to go back to Ireland. I thoroughly enjoyed the focus on Irish History. My grandmother always talked about Ireland, but I really did not appreciate my heritage until I did this trip. Viewing pictures and reading articles does not compare to the beauty of Ireland, the landscape, history and the culture. This truly was an immeasurable experience that will affect me for the rest of my life"
