I have a very good friend in Maryland that is a Travel Agent and puts together GREAT PACKAGES for travel anywhere. One that she did recently was for another friend's daughter's wedding in Punta Cana. She did a small group one to Ireland. Her name is Diana Jackson. The travel agency is this: Trade Winds Travel. We haven't traveled for awhile but one year several years ago my husband and I and 40 others went as a group to Ireland. Since we didn't put it together, we used the agency that our friend, who went every year to Ireland used. He had it clear down to a science in that he specified a certain bus driver at a certain touring company over there. If he didn't get that, the trip was off. It was a wonderful experience. We went from Shannon, to Galway, to Dublin and Kilkenny, taking 2 days at each spot. The driver was great. Had I known it was going to be the way it was, I would have taken a tape recorder along because he talked about the history of each place and along the way about how the local people lived etc. We always said after that trip, we'd only go in a "group" as it was fantastic. Our group ages were from 5 to 85. If you contact Trade Winds, ask for Diana.
