Join us for a one-of-a-kind, exclusive and all-inclusive historical 10-day / 9-night journey to the birthplace and heritage of Elly Kedward.

A 10-day / 9-night tour throughout the region and counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Dublin, Wexford and more. From the birthplace of Elly Kedward in Glengarriff, including a private tour of the burial ground of Elly's parents Deiniol Aodhan Kedward and Aedammair McAtháin Kedward, to the Kenmare Bay area of the ruins St. Mary's Orphanage, to the ruins of the Chapel of St. John in Ballylinchy, to all the locations involved in Elly Kedward's life, including an exclusive trip to the absolute surreal and downright majestic Sceilig Mhór, the towering and ancient island where time has stood still for thousands of years and where Father Tierney, who raised Elly in her teenage years, took his final steps and inevitable final breath.

A full itinerary has been set, but much of it cannot yet be revealed in order to avoid spoilers of chapters still to come in The Trial of Elly Kedward series.

This all-inclusive package includes access to public tour attractions, private tour access, accommodation in destinations one could only dream of (castles, manors and farms), full Irish breakfast, pub lunches and full dinners throughout the tour.

Again, because the series is underway and to avoid spoilers of locations, the full detailed itinerary will be updated throughout the Autumn and Winter as the series unfolds.

Because this is an exclusive trip on a first-come / first-served basis, in order to keep costs at a minimum, specific dates to accommodate guests and best affordable fees will be posted soon.

The Elly Kedward Revisited Journey to Ireland will be hosted by Dan Karcher, Aaron Chernak, Matt Blazi, and Elly Kedward voice/actress Tara Murphy, with very special guests included. Sign up to receive updates or visit our Facebook page for updates as they occur.

Because we are a little behind in setting up this page, please be patient as we add content to learn more of the itinerary, sign-up and more. Thank you.

Upon arrival at Dublin Airport, reclaim your baggage and enter the Arrivals Hall. Here in the Arrivals Hall you will meet with Dan Karcher, Aaron Chernak and Matt Blazi. Later we will be joined by Tara Murphy, the voice and actress of Elly Kedward, your hosts along with a professional driver-guide.

This morning after a full breakfast we will depart on a tour of the "Fair City" of Dublin, Ireland's capital city visiting Trinity College which was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I on the site of an Augustinian monastery. Trinity College is also home to the Book of Kells, which is the most richly decorated of Ireland's medieval illuminated manuscripts. The book contains the four gospels in Latin. Some of the dyes used were imported from as far as the Middle East.

Of course, no visit to Dublin would be complete without a visit to the Guinness Storehouse at St. James's Gate for a tour of the world famous brewery and afterwards enjoy a perfect pint of Guinness in the Gravity Bar, which is located at the top of a glass tower that commands spectacular views of Dublin City & County in every direction.

*Also on this first leg of the trip, our first visit involving Elly Kedward. We cannot yet reveal the location or details to avoid spoilers of upcoming chapters in the series. Following their releases, itinerary details will be added here.

Come late afternoon, we depart for Kinnitty Castle in the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in County Offaly in the Hidden Heartlands of Ireland. This unique castle has had a long & turbulent history from the Norman’s in the 12th century to its destruction by Republican Forces in 1922 to the present day. It now stands as an intimate and cosy castle hotel.

This evening we will overnight and dine in Kinnitty Castle. After dinner we might like to retire to the Dungeon Bar for a nightcap before bed.

Take time to stroll the medieval streets of Kilkenny, and you might want to visit the Kilkenny Design Centre or take time for a pint of Smithwicks, an Irish Red Ale brewed in Kilkenny. You will have a unique home cooked lunch experience today on a family farm outside Kilkenny.

We then continue onto Tipperary to visit the Rock of Cashel. This was the seat of kings and mediaeval bishops for 900 years and flourished until the early 17th century. Brian Ború was crowned the King of Munster here in 977 and he became the High King of Ireland in 1002.

Depart west via County Limerick to County Clare. On the west coast of Ireland you will visit the dramatic 214 metres (704 feet) high and 8 kilometres (5 miles) long Cliffs of Moher gazing out on the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean.

You will see the Burren, which is Gaelic for rocky land - an apt name for this vast limestone plateau. In the 1640s, Cromwell's surveyor described it as "a savage land, yielding neither water enough to drown a man, nor tree to hang him, nor soil enough to bury".

Travel on via Galway into the wilds of Connemara and via the villages of Oughterard, Maam Cross and Recess to Clifden. Clifden - the capital of Connemara was founded in 1812 by the High Sheriff of Galway to create a pocket of respectability within the lawlessness of Connemara.

Tonight you will overnight & dine in Abbeyglen Castle Hotel. After dinner you might like to retire to the Lounge for a nightcap (Connemara Single Malt Irish Whiskey is just a suggestion) before bed.

This morning after breakfast we will depart for Ballynahinch Castle for an unrivalled experience of true Irish hospitality. Formerly the home of "Humanity Dick" Martin and The Maharajah Ranjitsinhji, Ballynahinch Castle has been welcoming visitors to Connemara for over 250 years. This unique castle is spectacularly located on a private 450 acre estate of woodlands, rivers and walks in the heart of Connemara.

Traveling west, our route today will take us through Ballinasloe & Athlone, which is the centre of Ireland. We will visit Clonmacnoise, a medieval monastery on the banks of the River Shannon founded by St. Ciaran in the 6th century. Clonmacnoise lay at a crossroads of medieval Ireland linking all parts of the island. Sacked time and again by the Vikings, it nevertheless flourished for over 600 years.

We will continue west on our journey to Galway City, known as the "City of the Tribes". On arrival in Galway we will have a panoramic tour of this ancient city including its famous Eyre Square.

Take time for a ramble down Shop Street to Galway's Latin Quarter where stands Lynch's Castle, Galway's grandest 16th century town house. Stroll up the bustling Quay Street with its many great pubs and lively street performers.

We will travel on west of Galway City via the villages of Oughterard, Maam Cross & Recess into the wilds of Connemara, famous for its bogs, mountains and rugged coastline. Tonight you will overnight & dine in Ballynahinch Castle. Suggestion: After dinner you might like to retire to the friendly Fisherman's Pub for a nightcap (Connemara Single Malt Irish Whiskey is just a suggestion) before bed.

Please note, although Ballynahinch Castle has undergone many modernising refurbishments over the past 250 years there are no elevators in the hotel. There is a full porter service, to carry your bags to and from the bedroom, but walking up and down the stairs, for anyone with mobility issues, can be quite difficult. Please let us know should you have any concerns.

This morning after breakfast take some time to explore at your leisure the extensive grounds of Ballynahinch Castle.

This afternoon if the lure of the castle grounds are not too strong you will tour the sights of wild Connemara. You will have free time in Clifden, the capital of Connemara which was founded in 1812 by the High Sheriff of Galway to create a pocket of respectability within the lawlessness of Connemara.

We will visit Kylemore Abbey, which is nestled at the base of Duchruach Mountain on the northern shore of Lough Pollacappul, in the heart of the Connemara Mountains. It is regarded as one of Ireland's most romantic buildings.
