Italy specialist Perillo Tours will debut its first itinerary to Ireland in more than a decade and offer its first standalone Portugal trip.
Owner Steve Perillo said the operator has seen "overwhelming interest" from guests who want to visit Ireland on a guided tour, prompting Perillo to return to the country -- it last operated an Ireland trip 15 years ago.
"Building off of our 80 years of operational expertise in Italy, we were able to build a memorable and immersive itinerary to Ireland, a destination equally rich in heritage," he said.
The operator will offer Heart of Ireland, a 10-day trip that visits Dublin, Galway, Killarney and Barberstown. Travelers will visit the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin; stay in the 13th-century Barberstown Castle Hotel; take a trip to Inis Mor island off Ireland's west coast; and explore the Ring of Kerry.
Though Perillo already offers a Portugal and Spain itinerary, Portugal's continued popularity led the brand to create a standalone itinerary.
The 10-day Portugal Dreams tour will begin in Porto and end in Lisbon. Travelers will visit Obidos, Sintra and a coastal resort near Praia D'El Rey. Itinerary highlights include a Douro River sailing on a traditional Rabelo boat, a live fado performance and a trip to Evora, a Unesco World Heritage Site-listed city.
