Tour Dates
St. Patrick's Day Celebration March, 2013
This one-off weekend starts Thursday night! WSA will have an informal mixer throughout the evening to pick up your collector's St. Paddy's Day T-Shirt and meet and greet your new Irish BFFs. Friday features a bus tour of the beautiful Irish countryside through the movie sets of Braveheart and PS I Love You. We'll also take a tour of the Guinness Storehouse where you'll get educated on the Black Gold, as they call it. We'll have a group dinner that evening with some traditional Irish music in the background.
The real party starts Saturday morning when we meet up after our full Irish breakfasts to head over to O'Connell Street where we'll catch the world famous St. Paddy's Day Parade. Our VIP passes will get us into prime location just across from the Presidential grand stands. The celebrations continue on throughout the day and long into the night.
Sunday will feature another chance to explore other Dublin neighborhoods, enjoy worldclass shopping on Grafton Street as well as the the artifacts in the National Museum. Be sure to consider extending your stay even longer to enjoy more of this beautiful country. All in all, it promises to be an unforgettable experience!

As with all our tours, just show up at the hostel and we'll take it from there. Your trip-prep email will have all the information on how to find our sweet hostel no matter how you're getting in. You can fly in to Dublin's main airport or students coming from Englad can find cheap bus-ferry connections. Use SkyScanner.net, Kayak.com and Cheapoair.com in order to find your best flight options. Once you find a flight you like, we encourage you to book directly with that airline to save even more $$$!

Happy Backpackers:
"In just a few short days, I experienced some true color of Irish culture not only centered around St. Patrick's Day but everyday life as well. Andy plans his trips beyond the common tourist's experience. It was organized, easy going, and fun! I saw everything I wanted to while on the trip that I otherwise probably wouldn't have gotten to see!"
