Perillo Tours has expanded its European programming with two new itineraries for 2026, including its first dedicated Portugal tour, alongside a new Ireland itinerary, complementing its existing programs in Italy, Greece, Spain and Hawaii.

“For so many Perillo Tours guests, our trips are a way for them to experience their heritage,” said Steve Perillo, third-generation owner of Perillo Tours, in a press statement. “Over the last few years, we’ve seen an overwhelming interest from past guests in Ireland. 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.”

Perillo Tours’ Newest

The 10-day Heart of Ireland tour takes your clients on a journey to experience the country’s cultural and natural highlights through curated experiences. Beginning with two nights in Dublin featuring visits to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the Guinness Storehouse, the journey continues west to Galway for three nights, followed by two nights in Killarney. The itinerary concludes at Barberstown Castle Hotel, a 13th-century property. Key experiences include exploring the Aran Islands, experiencing the Connemara landscapes and a full-day Ring of Kerry tour featuring sheepdog demonstrations and traditional carriage rides.

Portugal Dreams is Perillo’s first standalone Portuguese itinerary, connecting Porto and Lisbon over 10 days. The program begins with two nights in Porto, including walking tours, wine tastings and Douro River cruises. Guests then spend two nights at a coastal resort near Praia D’El Rey before concluding with three nights in Lisbon. Notable experiences include Fado performances, Evora’s UNESCO sites and cork crafting demonstrations.

Both itineraries strike a balance between scheduled activities and independent exploration time, featuring centrally located hotels and included meals that showcase regional cuisine.

All 2026 escorted tours are now available for reservation.
