The Aran Islands are the birthplace of the sweater worn by so many the world over. Knitted by the women on spinning wheels, unique patterns were designed for each family. If the man died at sea, they would be able to identify him by the sweater.</p>
<p>Aran is also a place time has forgotten. The locals move at their pace without worrying about the rest of the world. There is some lovely walking and bicycling here. The best treat is a ride around the Island in a horse and buggy. These islands are places of incredible beauty in the middle of the ocean -- stone walls, pastures scattered with sheep, ruined castles, an underground church, and lots of other special things.</p>

<p>And you will visit the Doolin Cave.</p>
<p>From the moment you descend over 80ft into the first tunnel, on a fully guided tour, you will enter a world carved by water. Donning your hardhat, you will follow the rough-hewn route of the early explorers who first discovered the cave. When you enter the stunning, cathedral-like dome that houses the huge stalactite, you will be briefly plunged into a world of primitive darkness. Then, in a flash, you will be awed as the subtly-lit stalactite appears before you. And, far below, a magical stream carries to the hills outside, the water that carved the primeval world around you.</p>
<p><strong>History of Doolin Cave</strong><b><br/></b> In modern times the cave was discovered in 1952 by J.M. Dickenson and Brian Varley of Craven pothole Club based in the Yorkshire Dales. They were students at the time charting the caves of the Burren area with their university. They left their group on Whitsunday and went exploring on their own. They noticed a small stream disappeared at the bottom of a huge limestone cliff. They pulled back some boulders and dug their way into a narrow passage and managed to wriggle their way for about a quarter of a mile until they reached the large chamber that contains the Great Stalactite.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We return to the lovely Hydro Hotel in Lisdoonvarna have dinner, later in the evening you will meet the Matchmaker Willie Daly in private, he will work magic if you wish!</p>
<p>You can dance and be merry in many places in lisdoonvarna walking distance to your hotel.</p>

<p>“For centuries, Irish matchmakers have performed a vital service, bringing people together in love and marriage. It is a mysterious art, and the very best matchmakers have an almost magical quality to them. Willie Daly, whose father and grandfather were matchmakers before him, is the most celebrated of them all. Each year his tiny home town of Lisdoonvarna (population 800) hosts a matchmaking festival that attracts 40,000 visitors from around the world. They all hope to meet Willie, ‘the horse whisperer of matchmaking’. With his unique blend of intuition, quiet wisdom and a small drop of cunning, Willie has brought together hundreds of couples over the years. In The Last Matchmaker he recounts some of the best stories along with his own. The path to love can be heart-warming, hilarious, and sometimes hair-raising – and Willie is the perfect guide. The Last Matchmaker is a fascinating journey into the world of matchmaking and a timely reminder that the search for love is the greatest quest of all. And should the reader be looking for love, Willie has some hard-learned, practical advice to share… “</p>

</div>
<div class="gE iv gt"><blockquote><p>I found Cupid's Crusade online after searching for singles' vacations to Ireland. I needed to get out and date again, and had a strong desire to visit Ireland. I never go on organised vacations, but decided to do so for the first time in this case. I needed a escape from my life and not think, so off I went.</p>
<p>When we arrived in Ireland, the group were greeted by a smiling Cupid's Crusade rep at the airport. After we were transported to our hotel, we checked in and met each other over coffee.</p>
<p>I was excited about meeting the matchmaker Willie that evening in his pub. I really enjoyed the Irish music. The entire week was wonderful: The food was great, the scenery was lovely, the nightly dancing was something I had not done for a long time. Willie fixed me up with a few dates, and even though true love did not happen, Willie the matchmaker helped me meet men and to feel good in a man's company again.</p>
<p>I give Cupid's cCrusade a big "LIKE."</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

Even more valuable than our own description of the Cupid's Crusade tours are the words of those who have experienced what we offer. With that in mind, here is a review from Karen, one of our guests from the 2013 Cupid's Crusade tour:</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am a single woman in my 50's, and have been doing online dating to meet men with the hope to find myself a partner.</p>
<p>I picked up a Cupid's Crusade card in an Irish pub. After reading it, I decided to take the chance and went on the trip. It was amazing! It was a big adventure for me as I had never traveled outside the USA.</p>
<p>We arrived in Shannon airport early in the morning. We were met by the Cupid's Crusade representative, and arrived at a beautiful hotel on a hill with scenery to die for. From then on, the trip was a dream. I was in a fog with the beauty of Ireland. I had a private meeting with the matchmaker who really believes in love. He gave me some very good advice about how to approach men; he said women and men are so different, but we have attraction.</p>
<p>The nightly dancing in Lisdoonvarna was great fun. I hardly had a chance to sit down. I met people from all over the world ... one in particular! Cupid's Crusade was well organized, friendly, and features a very informative staff. I loved the trip, the town, and everything Ireland had to offer.</p>
<p>Love and regards,</p>
<p><em>Karen</em> (you can email Karen with your questions about the tour and her experience <a href="mailto:knasti63@aol.com" target="_blank">here</a>.)</p>

<p>Dating agencies can cost upwards of $1,000. Online sites cost around $40 per month. There is another way.</p>
<p>Come to Lisdoonvarna and attend the oldest of all matchmaking events -- 150 years old and still going strong. Have a blast, enjoy the beauty of County Clare, dance you evenings away, meet a matchmaker that does not go near a computer. He works his magic the old way. You can enjoy a week in Ireland, two meals per day, 4-star hotels, all transport, all your entertainment, and loads of great places. You will feast at Bunratty Castle, experience the charm of the Aran Islands, Galway City, and much more -- all for the price you would pay to a dating agency. </p>
<p>For the dating agencies' one-time fee, they promise 'X' amount of dates which may not work. Online, you'll spend endless time and money with little success. Why not come with Cupid's Crusade to the town of love? Turn your brain off and let <em>us</em> think for you so you can think about falling in LOVE in Lisdoonvarna where love is always in the air. 40,000 people pass through in a week, all looking for Love.</p>
<p>Come along for the adventure of a lifetime. You will not regret it.</p>
<p>Great discount for all members of The Wild Geese.</p>
