What people love about Ireland And Scotland Tours
- Scottish & Irish Dream - 14 Days/13 Nights
We covered an incredible amount of ground in two weeks. We were immersed in the history and culture of the two countries by the sights, tours, and information shared by the excellent guides. Days were packed - on occasion too packed- but we wouldn’t have skipped anything. Food was good to great and always ample. We would recommend tje tour.
- Scotland and Ireland
Lots of different stops on this trip. Enjoyed the tour.
- England, Scotland and Ireland end Dublin
Eva and Hercules were absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable. Jerry the bus driver from Ireland was friendly and welcoming. He brought us to every destination safely along with some good conversations with my parents! This trip was for my Parents 45th wedding anniversary. Mother has limited mobility due to a recent foot surgery and my Father was worsening vertebrae deterioration so this trip HAD to happen, otherwise they may not have gotten the chance or have the ability later. Eva and Hercules went above to accommodate their needs. We all had wonderful experience all together especially to mention Eva and her touring skills!
What our customers ask about Ireland and Scotland Tours & Trips
What's Great About Combining Scotland and Ireland on One Trip?
You'll get to experience two amazing Celtic cultures that really complement each other when you combine Scotland and Ireland. The great thing about these tours is how efficiently they're planned - you're not wasting time backtracking and you'll see all the highlights without feeling rushed. It's actually pretty good value when you think about it since your ferry crossings and transport are all wrapped into one package. Take the Scottish & Irish Dream tour that runs for 14 days it's a perfect example of getting the full experience of both countries with everything from your hotels to guided tours taken care of.
When Can You Catch the Best Festivals in Ireland and Scotland?
If you're heading to Edinburgh in August you absolutely can't miss the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo it's this incredible display of music and military precision right at Edinburgh Castle. The atmosphere is amazing with bagpipes drums and performers from around the world putting on a show. Your best bet is booking a tour between July 27 and August 17 to catch this. Over in Ireland the Rose of Tralee Festival happens in August too and it's such a special celebration of Irish heritage where women with Irish roots compete for the Rose title. You can catch this on the Britain and Ireland Explorer tour that runs for 19 days.
What Local Experiences Can You Join In With?
There's nothing quite like a Scottish ceilidh - it's this wonderful mix of folk music dancing and storytelling that usually happens in pubs or community halls. The Taste of Scotland & Ireland tour makes sure you get to experience one. You'll definitely want to try some whisky tasting at a distillery it's fascinating learning about how it's made and the Blair Athol Distillery visit on the 10-day tour is excellent. In Ireland kissing the Blarney Stone is a must-do tradition and the Best of Ireland and Scotland tour takes you there. The Irish pub music scene especially in Dublin's Temple Bar is incredible - you never know when a session might start up!
Where Are the Hidden Gems That Tourists Often Miss?
You really should check out County Donegal in Ireland it's got these incredible dramatic coastlines hidden beaches and amazing ruins like the 12th-century Boyle Abbey which you'll see on the Britain and Ireland Explorer tour. Over in Scotland the Isle of Skye is absolutely breathtaking with its cliffs waterfalls and lovely villages like Portree - the Scottish & Irish Dream tour includes this. Glencoe is another must-see it's got this powerful history with the MacDonald clan massacre and the natural scenery is just stunning. The Scotland and Ireland tour takes you through here and stops at the massacre monument which really brings the history to life.
