We create luxury experiences in Ireland that provide our guests with authentic connections to places, moments and experiences. For example, our immersive ewe experience in Ireland, delivered in partnership with Killary Sheep Farm (Connemara) and Irish Working Sheepdogs (Kildare), offers a memorable outdoor adventure for all ages, allowing children and adults alike to learn about sheep farming, working dogs and time-honoured rural skills that remain central to Republic of Ireland traditions.
The hands-on sheepdog experience in Ireland is a real taste of rural Ireland during which families can step into the landscape, traditions and daily life of the countryside. Deliberately woven into our wider collection of outdoor experiences in Ireland, this family-friendly activity is both educational and genuinely fun, making it one of the best ways to experience Ireland beyond the cities.
Irish Dance Experience
Few cultural experiences capture the spirit of Ireland quite like Irish dancing, where music, rhythm and storytelling come together on stage. A Riverdance and Irish dancing experience offers families an engaging introduction to one of Ireland’s most celebrated traditions, combining live performance, movement and heritage in a way that appeals to all ages. At Luxury Irish Tours, we afford you a seat inside Ireland’s most iconic venues, such as Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre, and at the most sought-after shows such as Riverdance’s ‘New Generation Tour’.
From watching world-champion dancers and witnessing the master-piece shows choreographed by the famous Michael Flatley & Jean Butler, this experience brings Irish culture to life through energy, an indigenous sport and centuries-old Irish tradition. Carefully selected as part of our wider collection of authentic experiences in Ireland, it provides an inspiring and memorable way for families to connect with Ireland’s artistic traditions while sharing the spectacle that is Irish Riverdance, together.

Food is a central part of how families connect with Ireland, and our food and dining experiences are designed to be as engaging as they are memorable. In the west of Ireland, relaxed seafood lunches at Pádraicíns Gastropub in Furbogh, overlooking the Atlantic, offer an authentic taste of local life and coastal tradition.
From farm visits and artisan producers to hands-on cooking experiences, families are encouraged to explore Ireland’s culinary heritage. Our culinary itineraries include guided food explorations from Galway Food Tours and other exclusive partners, and immersive tastings that introduce Ireland’s most iconic drinks thanks to expert partners such as the Guinness connoisseurs, Stroll To The Stout. Tastefully incorporated as part of our wider collection of luxury experiences in Ireland, these Irish culinary encounters allow families to discover culture through flavour, storytelling and time spent together around the table.
Ireland Falconry Experiences
Reflecting a shared legacy of prestige, land stewardship and time-honoured skill, a falconry experience in Ireland offers families a rare and unforgettable opportunity to engage with one of the country’s oldest traditions, deeply rooted in Irish history and nobility.
