Last year, Encore Tours introduced Encore Experiences, an extraordinary concept that grants individual travelers exclusive access to the world’s most magnificent musical, cultural, and culinary treasures. We have collaborated with renowned musicians, influencers, and musical organizations to curate exceptional programs, delivering unparalleled musical journeys enriched with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Experience Ireland: A Celtic Adventure. In collaboration with Brian O’Donovan, host of “A Celtic Sojourn Radio” on Boston’s GBH Public Radio, we’re proud to present this extraordinary journey through Ireland. Although Brian won’t be joining us on the trip, his meticulous itinerary design, selection of local musicians, and handpicked musical guide have shaped this unique experience. To add a personal touch, Brian plans to host pre-departure and post-trip receptions in Boston.
