Ireland summertime B&B + car package

Waterford Crystal factory Deals to Europe are rare in summer, but here’s an airfare, car rental and hotel package to Ireland that just might fit the bill.

The deal: Los Angeles travelers receive round-trip airfare to Dublin or Shannon, one night’s stay at a hotel, five nights at Irish farmhouse bed-and-breakfasts (there are 450 to choose from) and a rental car with unlimited mileage. The package is $1,099 in May, June, September and October and $1,199 in July and August. All rates are per person and based on double occupancy.

What’s included? The Emerald Package includes a full Irish breakfast daily and offers a complimentary tour of the Waterford Crystal factory (pictured, photo by Richard Derk / LAT) in Waterford.

Other options: Travelers can upgrade to an expanded list of town and country B&Bs — adding 1,400 additional facilities with private bath — starting at $99. They also have the option of spending one night at an Irish castle, starting at $99.

Info: Call Sceptre Tours at (800) 221-0924. The special is based on availability and does not include tax.

This is a GREAT deal! A friend and I went on a similar trip in 2001, SIX YEARS ago, in the fall, for $895 (air fare, car rental and B&B stays inclusive). To go in the summer for just a little more money is a tremendous deal. The experience of driving Ireland and making your own arrangements at prepaid B&Bs (you pick out of a book, and call ahead to your chosen place) is wonderful. Highly recommend this trip and these arrangements!
