The South East consists of the five counties of Carlow, Kilkenny, Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford, fondly referred to by the ‘Irish’ as the ‘Sunny South East’. The region is famous for its vibrant towns, rural getaways, coastal villages and picturesque resorts, some of which we will see on this exceptional five day tour.

Our base is Waterford, founded by the Viking traders in 914AD and the capital of the ‘Sunny South East’. It is Ireland’s oldest city with its medieval city walls, picturesque quayside, the thousand year old Reginald’s Tower and it is also perfectly located for you to enjoy a taste of the region on our three included excursions.

Our scenic route skirts the Blackstairs Mountain range, in County Carlow, which is a designated ‘Special Area of Conservation’ with breathtaking scenery.
