We have a perfect small-group vacation for people who don't want a coach tour but still want to fully experience the grand country they are visiting. Instead of buses or minibuses, tour Ireland in 4WD Land Rovers that allow for smaller group sizes and more flexibility to explore areas far beyond the reach of normal tours.
You'll leave the road behind and drive along beaches, through rivers or up muddy tracks; You'll walk in the mountains, surf in the Atlantic, ride a horse or play golf; You'll clamber over ancient ruins, learn about pirate queens, retrace the steps of pilgrims or search for your ancestors.
Your vacation will combine imaginative mixtures of breathtaking scenery, relaxing exercise, local culture and cozy accommodation. And at the end of the day - a roaring fire, some music, great food and a pint.

See London For Free
Well, sort of! There are hundreds of free things to see and do in London that won't cost you a penny. From riding in a flight simulator to watching Changing the Guard, there are some amazing free experiences to be had in London. And, don't forget that most of London's Major Museums and Major Art Galleries are free too!
Here's our pick of some of the best free activities in London.
Changing the Guard
For a display of British pomp and ceremony, watch the Changing the Guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace. This is where 1 member of Queen's Guards exchanges duty with the previous guard. Both guards are dressed in traditional red tunics and bearskin hats, and the ceremony is set to music. To catch the ultimate royal experience, stand outside Buckingham Palace at 11am. It's wise to check beforehand as the ceremony only takes place on certain days.
The Ceremony of the Keys
A tradition for the past 700 years, this ceremony takes place every evening at the Tower of London. The Chief Yeoman Warder, wearing a long red tunic, Tudor bonnet and carrying a candle, locks up the main gate and delivers the keys to the Resident Governor of the Tower. Tickets are free, but need to be booked up to two months in advance by written application.
Sir John Soane's Museum
Sir John Soane was an architect and collector of curios. During his lifetime he amassed some remarkable antiquities from all four corners of the globe. These are now on display in Sir John Soane's Museum, which is his former home – and gives a real insight into the life of this extraordinary gentleman.
Kenwood House
Britain is known for its sumptuous stately homes, and Kenwood House does not disappoint. Perched on the edge of rolling Hampstead Heath, the house has stunning white stucco façades. Inside, you'll find one of the most magnificently decorated libraries in the world, as well as the Iveagh Bequest – a collection of exquisite paintings by Rembrant, Vermeer, Turner, Reynolds and Gainsborough.
Geffrye Museum
A very unique experience, the Geffrye Museum gives a fascinating insight into the domestic lives of the British middle classes from the 1600s to the present day. Explore a series of room sets, complete with furnishing and textiles from each era. The museum itself is located in 18th century almshouses, and also has a famous walled herb garden.
Hogarth's House
Hogarth was a celebrated artist and satirist, whose works, such as A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage-a-la-Mode, mocked 18th century society. As the name suggests, Hogarth's House is where he lived before he died in 1764, and it's here that you'll find the most extensive collection of his prints on public display.
Bank of England Museum
The charming Bank of England Museum traces the history of the bank from its foundation by Royal Charter in 1694 to its role today as the the country's central bank. There are gold bars, coins and banknotes, as well as many items you might not expect to find...
RAF Museum
Take to the skies on a free day out at the RAF Museum. There are more than 80 aircraft on display, together with uniforms, weapons, photographs and more. Plus, there's a Battle of Britain sound and light show, a helipad, and even a Red Arrows flight simulator, if your nerves can handle it!
Southwark Cathedral
While Westminster Abbey (admission £15) and St. Paul's Cathedral (admission £11) attract the crowds, Southwark is stuffed with intriguing history at no cost.
Whitechapel Bell Foundry
One of London's oldest and most surprising businesses, this 439-year-old storefront is where both the Liberty Bell and Big Ben were made. There's a little museum area inside to illuminate the traditional foundry still toiling away out back.
BBC Broadcasting House
The national broadcaster offers free tickets for its shows (you book online at bbc.co.uk/tickets and print them at home).
Victoria and Albert Museum
South Kensington's celebrated Victoria and Albert Museum is always free, and on the last Friday of every month it stages evening events that have a nightclub feel and attract an adult crowd.
