Ireland and Scotland Tours
A visit to Scotland will leave you in equal parts awe-struck and relaxed. Visit Edinburgh and climb to the castle, admiring the views. Head to Glasgow and immerse yourself in modern city life. Sample whiskey at a real distillery, and explore the Royal Mile. In Ireland, kiss the Blarney Stone and marvel at the Giant’s Causeway. Of course, a night out in Dublin with a glass of Guinness is a must!

One guide needs to improve English skills. Thought we were signing up for an English speaking tour. Not a bilingual.
England, Scotland and Ireland end DublinThe Highlights of Ireland & Scotland Tour was very comprehensive. It gave us a glimpse of both countries, its history and its culture. Hotel choices were OK in both Dublin & Edinburgh but quite a bit far from the city center. Our Driver Jurgen was excellent, he was a very safe driver, courteous and very helpful. Our Tour Director Fiona was OK, but I didn’t like her style. I felt she could have been more organized in providing information as we went from city to city.
Highlights of Ireland & ScotlandThe plan and execution went very smoothly. Our driver and guide were excellent.

Best time to visit Ireland and Scotland
- Spring 2027
Spring opens up more possibilities with tours running anywhere from 10 to 19 days. The longer ones start down in London and wind their way up through Shakespeare's old haunts before crossing into Scotland. Our travelers picked spring for good reason - you'll see the Highlands and Irish countryside when everything's fresh and green, plus you won't bump elbows with summer crowds at Edinburgh Castle or the Cliffs of Moher. We've arranged special access to Highland farms where you can watch the border collies at work herding sheep and most tours include a nice cruise on Loch Lomond. Spring weather makes it easier to spend time outdoors, whether you're walking Derry's walls or checking out the golf coast around St Andrews.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo shapes how many travelers plan their summer tours through Ireland and Scotland, becoming a centerpiece of the most popular 10-14 day trips. After watching the grand military display at Edinburgh Castle, visitors venture into authentic Highland experiences, including sheep-herding demonstrations with border collies at working farms. The warm summer evenings are perfect for dining in medieval castles or gliding along Dublin's waterways in converted Guinness barges. These Military Tattoo journeys take in all the essential sights like Loch Ness, the Giant's Causeway, Blarney Castle and several other historic fortresses, while weaving in personal encounters with local experts. Our travelers join whisky makers for distilling demonstrations, participate in traditional music sessions at Temple Bar and spend time at places like Bogbain farm for genuine cultural experiences. Those looking to maximize their travel value often choose May and September departures, which offer similar pleasant weather with lighter crowds and extra opportunities to mingle with locals during regional festivals.
