After a year long battle with breast cancer, my wife has just been declared cancer free and she wants to celebrate with a trip to Ireland (she is of Irish heritage but has never been there). We are more interested in the scenic side of Ireland than the big cities so we thought a tour of southern Ireland would be best. We won't have a lot of time (a week or so) and we were hoping to make the trip in late September. I know we would probably see more if we rented a car and drove but due to the short amount of time we have to plan and to actually spend in Ireland, would we be better off hooking up with a tour group or some kind, and if so which one? Thanks for your help.
