Come and witness a Peter’s Way Tour to Ireland! We will meet with local musicians and clergy while we enjoy sightseeing and fellowship with our colleagues. For those bringing their choir or parish to Ireland, this program is invaluable in planning your tour. You will inspect various liturgical and performance venues, hotels, and our detailed services throughout the Emerald Isle.
The price of your inspection tour will be fully refunded to you when you return overseas with your choir or parish using Peter’s Way Tours.
