Live the Irish Culture on University Student Group Tours of Ireland

What better way to experience Ireland's culture than tasting and enjoying it's food. As part of your educational tour of Ireland we could organise stops for your group at traditional Irish pubs and restaurants. Perhaps after a full morning of learning on your Irish educational tour, a bowl of warm traditional Irish stew would re-energise you. If you're lucky, an Irish Ceile band could playing to accompany your delicious lunch. When travelling with Discover Ireland Tours you get to live the Irish culture!

Adult Educational Tours of Ireland

Adult education tours are also popular and we are very accomplished at designing specific itineraries according to the industry or topic you are interested in. No area is too specialised and we have unrivalled contacts and local knowledge to make your adult education tour incredibly insightful. Sometimes adult groups like us to include the opportunity to visit historic places in Ireland and learn about Ireland's history. We can arrange this for you or maybe you have a solid idea of what you want already and we can design an itinerary around that. Please let us know the balance you'd like between learning and leisure as some groups enjoy including their favourite leisure activities such as Golf or hillwalking.

Valuable Learning Opportunities in an Informal Environment

Discover Ireland Tours understand the importance of educational trips and that they are more than simply leaving the typical learning environment of the classroom or lecture hall. Our educational tours of Ireland provide valuable learning opportunities away from the classroom while also including plenty of options for having fun in a more informal environment.

Bilingual Guides

We can arrange bilingual guides for your group so your students can learn in their own home language.

Students Increased Motivation

Something that might not be so obvious is that our educational tours often lead to a better bond between teachers and students. It can work as an extra incentive for students to work particularly hard for a certain teacher as they are incentivised by the teacher taking them away and grateful of the opportunity giving to them.

In terms of personal development, a tour abroad can do wonders for an individual high school student's confidence. Often students return home with a newfound confidence and feeling independent.We can even organise a teenage disco in a safe environment if you feel it would benefit the group.

Setting the Standard for Educational Tours of Ireland

Inspiring Students

Student travel can be very beneficial to the growth of a students appetite to learn, to be independent, and to engage socially and develop a good work ethic. Discover Ireland tours have been operating successful educational tours for over 25 years and our tours make every effort to encourage these attributes in our student groups.

Student Safety

The welfare of your student group is of a priority. Our impeccable safety record means that by booking with us your students are safe to enjoy learning and sightseeing in Ireland.

Student Group Bonding

Students Groups have been trusting us with organising their educational tours of Ireland for years. We have received many messages when groups have returned home about how the group have formed such a strong bond as a result of the tour. This is a key secondary aspect of our educational tour after the learning, and we put a lot of effort into giving groups the option to have as little or as many leisure activities as they so wish. We do encourage having a nice amount of leisure activities as we know the power this can have for group bonding and giving students the opportunity to get to know individual group members they might not have known so well before the tour.
