Geotoura - Hotel concept
When we include a hotel in our programme, it is not only a high standard of quality that is important to us. We prefer typical local accommodation, often boutique hotels with a special ambience. They emphasise the character of an individual trip: Panoramic views, particularly lovely furnishings, location in historic centres, no mass tourism and, of course, exceptionally friendly hosts – these are important criteria for us.
We categorise our accommodation in the British Isles into four separate Geotoura categories. Of course, you have the choice and can also combine the categories on one trip.
Boutique Hotels - Four categories
Encantador (‘Charming’): Privately run bed & breakfast guesthouses with a small number of cosy rooms and a lovingly prepared breakfast.
Especial (‘Special’): Enjoy stylish interiors and comfort in the mostly family-run boutique hotels with historic charm. Stay in the city centre or in beautiful natural surroundings.
Extraordinario (‘Extraordinary’): Centuries-old buildings, such as historic manor houses or castles, sometimes also modern design hotels with special architecture. Usually equipped with a restaurant, bar or spa area.
Luna de Miel (‘honeymoon’): For your honeymoon – or if you want to treat yourself to something out of the ordinary …
Character of this travel idea
Experience culture
In Dublin, you’ll feel a little like you’ve turned off to Hogwarts in the library of Trinity College. After a visit to the almost curious composition of Dublin Castle, you will of course stop off at the mother of all Irish beers, the Guinness Storehouse.
If you leave Dublin in a hire car, you will soon land in its equally exciting counterpart. In the Northern Irish capital, you will fall in love with the picturesque Belfast Castle, immerse yourself in the time of the Troubles with the city’s murals and end up at the ultra-modern façade of the Titanic Experience, a tragic chapter of the city.
After your city stroll on this 10-day tour of Ireland and Northern Ireland, both cities invite you to enjoy live music, local specialities and a hearty Guinness or craft beer in one of their quaint pubs.
Experience nature
Like the hull of a mighty ship from another world, the imposing Ben Bulben table mountain towers over the wide, in some places almost treeless landscape near Sligo.
Even from a distance you will get an idea of why the 527 metre high Table Mountain is said to have been the scene of the mythical battle between Diarmuid and the boar of Ben Gulban and why the author William Buttler Yeats set such a flaming monument to it in “Under Ben Bulben”.
The path to the plateau leads you through lush, colourful rhododendrons. Once at the top, the mountain rewards you with a breathtaking panorama of Sligo and out into the vastness of the Atlantic.
Ireland culinary treasures
Ireland’s cuisine is often seen in the tradition of poor people’s food. During your visit to Ireland, you will discover that this down-to-earth tradition can be very tasty and not at all poor. In addition to the famous Irish stew, it is mainly fish and seafood that has been tantalising the palate in recent times. Smoked wild salmon, oysters and lobster will win over even gourmets. Meat lovers can look forward to fine lamb and tender Angus beef. “Back to the roots, on the other hand, with soda bread, porridge, boxty, coddle and black pudding.
