LondonLondon has become one of the world’s great melt-ing pots while maintaining a distinct character that’s all its own. From the London Bridge to the Houses of Parliament, Great Britain’s royal tradition and rich his-tory greet you at every turn. A local guide introduces you to Europe’s largest city on your sightseeing tour. Admire architectural marvels like the Baroque domes and spires of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the 17th-century church designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Check out the lively fi ve-way intersection at Piccadilly Circus as well as Hyde Park’s urban greenery. You may even get a chance to witness the ceremonial Changing of the Guard. Finally, snap a picture of Big Ben from the banks of the River Thames.

Ring of KerryTraverse the Ring of Kerry and encounter Ireland’s famed mystical beauty. This stunning, 112-mile coastal route wraps around the Iveragh Peninsula. Here you can experience everything from the Old Monastery to unspoiled beaches to Killarney National Park. On your visit, make your way along lush roll-ing hills and take in magnifi cent views of the Atlantic Ocean and the placid Lakes of Killarney. You’ll also pass by the misty peaks of Macgillycuddy’s Reeks. This range reaches its zenith at Carrauntoohil, Ire-land’s tallest mountain. In Glenbeigh, visit the Bog Village. Wander through a re-creation of an Irish village from the early 1800s as costumed guides demonstrate the way of life that prevailed in 19th-century rural Ireland.

DublinExperience Ireland’s capital, scenically situated be-tween Dun Laoghaire (pronounced “dun leery”) and Howth Head’s rocky peaks. On your sightseeing tour, you’ll pass by Phoenix Park and the presiden-tial residence. Continue to bustling O’Connell Street. Playwright Samuel Beckett and satirist Jonathan Swift studied at Trinity College, your next stop. In the Long Room of the Old Library you’ll view the Book of Kells. Irish monks created this calligraphic manuscript over 1,000 years ago. Then, visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral, whose presence honors the patron saint of Ireland.
