We’ve recently expanded our services to include all athletic and non-athletic club, high school, and college groups, as well as family and friends who are eager to explore Ireland. Our team can accommodate all sorts of requests and itineraries, so everyone is welcome. As sports players and enthusiasts, we know that school/club/college sports tours are the ideal way to capture team spirit and build camaraderie.
