It is also home to one of the most outstanding outdoor markets in France.  On our return to Avignon, we will pass through the village of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse.  A charming medieval village adjacent to a chasm and turquoise waters that become the source of the Sorgue springs, this geological wonder was once a Roman settlement.

However, it is art that has made Aix so popular. Aix was home to Cézanne, whose paintings populate many of the finest galleries in the world. It is Cézanne’s images that have drawn artists from around the world to this quaint town. After a tour and free time in Aix, we will have a panoramic tour of Marseille.

Ireland: Shamrock Adventure-The North and South of Ireland- September departure

September 13-25, 2026

For our May departure, please click here.

It is often said that each day in Ireland is like a festival. Ireland is, after all, a country bustling with activity. Activity that ranges from cultural to traditional and from music to theatre and dance. Ireland is also a country of ancient landscapes that are ever changing. In fact, it is a country that boasts “40 shades of green”.

Join us on a delightful journey to the Emerald Isle. Your visit will take you to some of Ireland’s most treasured landmarks: You will visit Dublin; Blarney Castle, famous for its Blarney Stone; and the spectacular Cliffs of Moher.  You will even visit Galway Bay!

You will also journey into Northern Ireland with visits to Belfast, famous for its Titanic museum, enjoy a drive along Northern Ireland’s famous coastal route and Giant Causeway. Your holiday will also take you to Derry, Londonderry and Donegal.

During your vacation, you will be accommodated in 3 or 4 star hotels. Previous tours to Ireland sold out very quickly. Booking early therefore is your only guarantee of space on this adventure!

Tour Itinerary


Day 1

Ottawa to Ireland

This afternoon you will depart on your overnight flights from Ottawa to Dublin.

Day 2

Dublin Airport to Kilkenny

Céad míle fáilte – “One Hundred Thousand Welcomes” to Ireland!

Upon your arrival in Dublin, you will be met by your local driver/guide. Your destination today is Kilkenny City. Located in the heart if Ireland’s Ancient East, the medieval city of Kilkenny is named after a 6th century monk called Saint Canice. His memory lives on in the beautifully preserved St. Canice’s Cathedral built overlooking the city in the 13th century.

Visit Kilkenny Castle – The Normans arrived in the 12th century and their legacy remains in the superb and fully restored Kilkenny Castle and in the thriving and cosmopolitan merchant city. The 17th century was a time of great social and political turmoil for Kilkenny. It was the seat of national parliament for a six-year period. The famous Oliver Cromwell invaded the city in 1650, and Kilkenny College was attended by such luminaries as Jonathan Swift and Bishop Berkeley. (D)

Day 3

Midleton & Waterford

This morning, you will travel to Waterford with an included tour. Waterford is one of Ireland’s oldest and most historic cities. The walled city withstood siege on several occasions in the past but fell to the Normans in 1170 AD. It prospered under the Normans and emerged as the second city of Ireland after Dublin. The city was the chief port of Ireland throughout the Middle Ages.

This afternoon, visit the Jameson Experience at the Old Midleton Distillery, Co Cork. The original buildings at the Middleton Distillery date back as far as the 1800s and were used to mature Cork Distillery Whiskey (now known as Paddy Whiskey). Visitors come face to face with original kilns and pot stills from that time and explore warehouses that have matured whiskey for more than 2 centuries. Enjoy a signature drink of Jameson at the end of the tour. (B)

Day 4

Blarney

You will enjoy a panoramic tour of Cork and learn the history of Ireland’s third city known as the Rebel City. The city’s origins lie early in the seventh century when St. Finbarr, founder and patron saint, founded a small monastic community close to where Gilabbey Street now stands, and it grew into an extensive and wealthy establishment. It attracted the attention of the Viking sea-pirates who raided and burned the infant city but returned in later years to settle and trade. The Anglo-Norman invasion in 1172 resulted in both the Danish lords and local MacCarthy chiefs having to submit to Henry II, but Cork has always had a reputation for independence and stubborn resistance – it came to be known as “Rebel Cork”.

Then visit Blarney and the Blarney Stone, which has the traditional power of conferring eloquence on all who kiss it! The word ‘Blarney’ means pleasant talk, intended to deceive without offending. The battlements crowning the castle keep are typically Irish in form. Having climbed more than 100 steps, the famous Stone is set in the wall below the parapet, and to kiss it, one has to lean backwards from the parapet walk of the battlements. You can also visit the Blarney Woolen mills for some fine quality Irish produce. (B)

Day 5

Scenic Tour Around the Dingle Peninsula

Our first stop will be in Dingle. Dingle is a small port town on southwest Ireland’s Dingle Peninsula, known for its rugged scenery, trails and sandy beaches. It is one of the most picturesque parts of Ireland.

In the afternoon, we’ll return to Killarney and the rest of the day will be at your leisure. (B, D)

Day 6

Cliffs of Moher, and the Burren

This morning, depart for the Cliffs of Moher, one of Ireland’s most spectacular sights. Standing 600ft above the ground at their highest point and 5 miles long, the Cliffs boast one of the most amazing views in Ireland. On a clear day, the Aran Islands are visible in Galway Bay as well as the valleys and hills of Connemara.

Travel through the Burren – The Burren takes its name from the Irish word ‘bhoireann’ meaning, ‘a stony place’ or ‘a rocky place’, which is a good description for this 350 sq. kilometers limestone plateau in North Clare. The rough, intriguing and attractive landscape was formed 320 million years ago under a tropical sea. Later it was shaped by ice, hard weather and, of course, man and his beasts. The many wedge tombs and megalithic tombs (such as Poulnabrone dolmen, also known as Poll na Brón) prove that people have been living in the Burren for more than 5000 years. (B, D)

Day 7

Connemara Tour

Today you can explore some of the beautiful countryside of Connemara, with its rolling hills, flowing rivers and coastal landscapes. Connemara is a wild and beautiful region of mountains, lakes, tumbling streams, undulating bogs, unspoiled beaches and panoramic views. It is a Gaelic-speaking region and has attracted many artisans, who can be visited at work in their studios. The centre of Connemara is composed of mountain peaks, the Twelve Bens or Pins, which culminate in Benbaun. The sharp grey peaks of quartzite rock which is resistant to weathering are too steep and hard to be clothed in blanket bog. The region is now largely uninhabited, although in the past the more fertile lowlands were cultivated, and the uplands were used as pasture for cattle and sheep.

Stop and visit Kylemore Abbey & Gardens. Kylemore Abbey is the only home of the Benedictine nuns in Ireland. The Abbey was acquired by the nuns in 1920. Set in the heart of Connemara, this unique Abbey offers the warmth and hospitality of its peaceful environs. Its enchanting history is interpreted in detail in rooms at the Abbey. It was originally built by Mitchell Henry, M.P., for County Galway (a native of Manchester city) as a gift for his wife. The Gothic Church, set in the grounds of the Abbey, is the jewel in the crown of Kylemore. It has been lovingly restored, and no visit would be complete without seeing it. Explore the magical 6-acre Victorian walled garden, where Victorian varieties of flowers and vegetables are grown. Vegetables and herbs from the garden are used in the café where they offer traditional home cooked food made to the recipes of the Benedictine nuns. (B)

Day 8

Londonderry & Donegal

After breakfast we will begin our journey to Northern Ireland. Our first stop en route will be in Donegal. Donegal was voted the coolest place on the planet by National Geographic Traveler in 2017. This is because of its rugged interior; remote mountain passes and shimmering lakes.

Our next stop will be in Londonderry. This town is the only completely walled city left in Ireland. It has also played a big role in Northern Ireland’s troubled past. You will enjoy a guided walk along the walls of Derry. (B)

Day 9

Costal Route & Giant’s Causeway

This morning, we will follow Northern Ireland’s famous coastal route and Giant’s Causeway. Considered to be one of the top scenic drives in Great Britain, this 212-kilometer route winds along the craggy coast of Northern Ireland. Stretching from Belfast all the way to Derry, the Causeway Coastal Route leads to castles, cliff walks, beaches, waterfalls, Game of Thrones filming locations and other scenic locales.

On arrival in Belfast, visit the Titanic Belfast. This museum is the world’s largest RMS Titanic visitor attraction, comprising nine interpretive and interactive galleries focused on the short history of the famous ship. Its exhibits fill six floors and include interactive discovery zones, full-scale reconstructions with special effects and real-life accounts from survivors of the tragic wreck. Highlights include the Ocean Exploration Centre with live links to modern underwater explorations and the luxurious Titanic Banqueting Hall. (B)

Day 10

Free Day

Free day in Belfast – Your Travac Tours Director can assist you with ideas on what to do. (B)

Day 11

Dublin

This morning, we will make our way to Dublin. After free time for lunch, we will have a city tour of Dublin before being taken to our hotel. (B)

England: Journey Into the Life of Agatha Christie

September 28 – October 8, 2026

Stonehenge • Torquay • Greenway • Bath • The Cotswolds • London

On September 28th, Travac wants you to join us on a very special tour as we delve into the life and times of the world’s most prolific crime novelist, Agatha Christie.  Christie has sold over 2 billion copies of her books, making her by far the greatest selling novelist in history next to Shakespeare, and continues to enchant audiences beyond the page through ongoing stage and screen adaptations of her most memorable works.

We’ll begin our journey to England with a visit to Stonehenge before arriving in Christie’s hometown of Torquay, where she created many of her most memorable characters including Inspector Poirot and Miss Marple.  After exploring the beautiful seascapes, rolling farmlands and rugged moors of this county we’ll make our way to Greenway, the once holiday home of Agatha Christie and her family.  To get there, we will embark on a heritage steam train along the spectacular English Riviera Geopark coast line, then cross the River Dart by riverboat ferry to arrive at the estate.

We’ll then continue on to Bath, where many of the modern Christie series are filmed. A famed UNESCO World Heritage Centre founded by the Romans in the 1st century AD who used the area’s natural hot springs as a thermal spa, Bath boasts unforgettable Roman, Georgian, and Palladian revival style architecture that blend harmoniously with its Roman baths.  From Bath we will visit the Cotswolds, one of England’s most picturesque regions home to quintessential golden-stone villages, idyllic rolling hills, historic market towns, and lovely gardens.

We’ll conclude our adventure with a visit to London and Baker Street to walk in the footsteps of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, and learn about the relationship between Conan Doyle and Christie.  You will also have plenty of free time to spend in London at your leisure.

Attractively priced at only $4469 per person + taxes of $1050 based on double occupancy, this fabulous journey includes return airfare from Ottawa; accommodation at centrally located hotels in Torquay, Bath, and London; transportation by private deluxe motor coach throughout the tour; guided tours of Stonehenge, Torquay, Greenway, Bath, the Cotswolds, and Sherlock Holmes’ London; British afternoon tea service in Torquay; steam train and ferry boat rides to and from Greenway; all entrance fees while on tour; and the services of a Travac Tours Director.  Space is limited on this unforgettable adventure- call our office at 613-728-1934 for more information or to book your spot!

Upon arrival in the UK, we will begin our day by travelling to Stonehenge.  Located in Wiltshire, Stonehenge’s iconic prehistoric megalithic structures are one of the great wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in the West.  We will follow in the footsteps of our Neolithic ancestors who lived here 4000 years ago as we learn about this powerful testament to human ingenuity, imagination and creativity.

Situated in a large romantic woodland garden, Greenway is a Georgian house originally built in the late 18th century.  Its walled gardens are home to a restored peach house and vinery, as well as an allotment cared for by local school children. A visit to Greenway isn’t complete without seeing the boathouse, scene of the crime in ‘Dead Man’s Folly’, as well as the estate’s battery.

Upon returning to Torquay in the late afternoon, the remainder of your day is free to spend at leisure.

Day 5

Bath

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, we will depart Torquay for the famed city and UNESCO World Heritage Centre of Bath.  Founded by the Romans in the 1st century AD who used the area’s natural hot springs as a thermal spa, Bath became an important centre of the wool industry in the Middle Ages.  In the 18th century, under George III, it developed into an elegant town with neoclassical Palladian buildings, which blend harmoniously with its Roman baths.  Bath is also the primary setting for Netflix’s Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, a new miniseries based on Christie’s acclaimed 1927 novel.

Upon arrival, we will embark on a tour of the city, visiting The Royal Crescent, The Circus Historic Site, Pulteney Bridge, Bath Abbey, and of course, the Roman Baths.  After our tour, we will check in to our hotel.  The remainder of the day is free to enjoy this beautiful city.
