Unbelievable deal to Ireland


I've found a great deal to Ireland. You might shop around and a find a deal or two but nothing this outrageous. You could spend $499 per person on airfare alone, or get this amazing 6-night fly-drive & stay package from Sceptre Tours for the same price, when you travel December-February. OR, travel in October or November for just $100 more.

The package includes:

· Roundtrip airfare from New York, Boston, Chicago or Washington D.C. (Just add on the domestic flights to complete your itinerary)
· 6 nights in 3-4 star hotels throughout Ireland
· Economy Car rental with unlimited mileage (manual transmission). Upgrade to automatic transmission for $79 and get free GPS navigation.
· Full Irish breakfast each morning

If you were to put this package together yourself, you would end up paying over $1000 per person.

The package includes accommodations in Dublin, Clare and Mayo, giving you access to both coasts, and popular spots like the Cliffs of Moher. The best part is that you with the unlimited car rental you can see Ireland at your own leisure, stopping as you please.

Blackout Dates: December 17-31 (the package may be available over these dates for an additional price)

Call your favorite travel agent, go to sceptretours.com or call 800-221-0924 Monday-Friday from 9am-7pm ET, or Saturday from 11am-3pm to speak with an Ireland specialist. July 4 hours are 9am-2pm. There is an additional $25 per person concierge fee for phone bookings, so I recommend booking with your local travel agent or online. One advantage of booking with a live person is that they can help you with the add on flights to your departure gateway.
