Hi -- Anne Feeney here. Enchanted Way Tours invited me to lead three of their tours of Ireland this summer. These are tours of the "real" Ireland - the West. I have friends who have led these tours, and friends who have taken these tours and they've all raved about the experience -- so I was delighted to say YES! I know Ireland well - I've been traveling there since 1977 - I've been to many of the enchanting places we'll be visiting.
You'll benefit not just from Enchanted Way's expertise, but also from all my collected songs, stories, folklore, local musician and activist friends - it's going to be a blast!! We'll have many opportunities to share stories, music and more. Check out the rest of this page as well as Enchanted Way Tours -- and if you're seriously interested, send me an email at anne@annefeeney.com and I'll get right back to you.
If you know anyone else who might be interested, please direct them here, or send them my contact information. Have a look below and see what you think -- Guaranteed that the 'craic' will be mighty!

IRISH TOURS - SUMMER 2008
Are you coming to Ireland with friends or family? Organizing a family reunion or a geneology search? Do you have a special interest in a particular area or in art, literature, traditional music or dance, history, storytelling, or another aspect of Irish culture? Do you have a specific activity in mind like a pub/music tour, or a castle tour, or a good place to buy traditional instruments or wool sweaters? Once you've committed to a tour, you'll be invited to a discussion group where we can plan together the trip of a lifetime.
Cost is $1750 per person based upon double occupancy. We will do our best to match up roommates if preferred. Single rooms are an additional $200 total per person for all nine nights. This fee also includes all ground transportation, all lodging, all breakfasts, three dinners, and admission to many special events featuring Ireland's finest musicians, poets, writers and activists.
You'll pay for your own flight to and from Shannon International airport, your lunches, 6 dinners, as well as drinks, tips, etc.
We'll pick you up at Shannon on the morning that you arrive, and return you to Shannon on the morning of your departure. The 2008 tours begin and end on:
June 10-19 Clare/Kerry/Galway
August 15-24 Derry/Donegal
September 30-October 9 Cork/Kerry/Clare
Ireland does require a passport, but not a visa.
Please consider taking advantage of this fantastic opportunity. These trips are affordable, unique, and unforgettable. I hope you'll join me.
You'll be welcome indeed!

Enchanted Way Tours is for people who hate tours! No big buses, name tags, hurried stops, or large groups being herded around like cattle! We help you find the best music sessions, the least touristy pubs, the most beautiful back roads, and the longest lasting memories.
After watching seemingly endless groups of tourists jumping on an off big, exhaust-belching buses and being whisked around to pre-arranged "shows" of Irish music before being shuffled off to their hotels just when the real fun was starting, we thought, there has to be a better way!
How can you see a lot of Ireland, but see it at Ireland's pace? How can you have the convenience of group travel, without the herd-like drawbacks? And what about people who usually travel on their own, but who really want to get to know the place through traditional culture - the music, the language, the stories? The answers to these questions were the seeds of Enchanted Way Tours, founded in 1973 by Tom Pigott, an Irish musician based in Limerick. Tom will be along, adding his 35 years of experience - making this tour unforgettable!
