Riverdance Coach Tours - 7 Days Tour Highlights • Wicklow Mountains • Celtic Roots ‘Riverdance’ Show • Historic Waterford • Waterford Crystal • Medieval Kilkenny • Scenic South Coast • An afternoon in Dublin |
County Wexford, in Ireland’s southeast corner, has a maritime past going back to the
Vikings. Nowadays it’s a peaceful and tranquil land, with sandy beaches, fertile pasture,
isolated mountain ranges and ancient sites. Our holiday base, Enniscorthy, is a quiet
hilltop town with a picturesque setting above the River Slaney. Its history dates back to
the 6th century, and its cluster of historic buildings include a Norman castle which
houses the Wexford County Museum. And to help you soak up the traditional Celtic
flavour of this special part of Ireland, this holiday features four nights entertainment -
including a special ‘Riverdance’ Show. |
