I've been looking at Celtic Highlights for a few weeks. Today the itinerary has changed. I don't see St. Andrews, Inverary Castle, Glamis Castle or the Ring of Kerry. Has it changed? Also is there a single stipend?

We do not have a single tour that includes all four locations (St. Andrews, Inverary Castle, Glamis Castle, and the Ring of Kerry) in one itinerary, as these are in two different countries (Scotland and Ireland). To visit these sites, you would need to combine a Scottish tour with an Irish tour.

Can we see an itinerary for June 2026 for the Celtic Highlights?

You can find the itinerary by scrolling down and clicking the drop down for each day. We do not have additional information that can be provided besides what is advertised.

What is the level of physical activity necessary to make this trip? One member of my family is restricted to crutches and too many stair steps will be an issue.

This tour will require a considerable amount of activity and walking. You may be required to climb full flights of stairs, navigate on uneven terrain, and stand for long periods of time. You will also be able to speak with the Tour Director in the event you or your travel companion will need to sit out an activity.

What is your policy on traveling with medication?

Travelers can bring prescription drugs in daily dispensers. Confirm that none of your meds fall under the prohibited items for UK customs.

Are vaccinations and PCR tests required for travel?

A vaccine card may be required at some venues, although it is not mandated by our tours. PCR tests are no longer required to travel abroad.

What would you say is the average age of your travellers? Or if you have it for the 14th April group. I am looking to come alone, what are the room arrangements? If you share would this be with a female? How many to a room? Do many people come alone? Would this trip be suited to a single traveller?

We get a range of ages join our tours, but we don't have a way of seeing what the average age booked would be on each departure. If you are looking to travel alone, then a single supplement would need to be appiled to your booking and we don't offer the option to be able to share with strangers. We do get solo travelers book all the time, so there will be a good chance that there will be other solo travellers on the departure.

What type of luggage is permissible on the flight for the tour?

The carry-on luggage should not exceed 12 X 11 X 6 inches and must fit in the overhead compartment. Additionally, a small backpack or similar item is acceptable.

Do the accommodations on the tour feature amenities such as hot tubs or pools?

Some of the hotels on the tour may feature pools or hot tubs. Bringing swimsuits is suggested if you wish to use these facilities.

Are there options for accommodations the night before and after the tour?

Pre and post-night accommodations are available upon request. Once confirmed, updates will be made accordingly to include these in your booking.

Do you offer discounts for large groups?

Groups larger than 8 can potentially receive discounts. Rates and details are handled by our group's department.

Nick
Asked on November 18th, 2025
I've been looking at Celtic Highlights for a few weeks. Today the itinerary has changed. I don't see St. Andrews, Inverary Castle, Glamis Castle or the Ring of Kerry. Has it changed? Also is there a single stipend?
Single supplement
Tour Details
- GlobusOperator•Written November 2025
  We do not have a single tour that includes all four locations (St. Andrews, Inverary Castle, Glamis Castle, and the Ring of Kerry) in one itinerary, as these are in two different countries (Scotland and Ireland). To visit these sites, you would need to combine a Scottish tour with an Irish tour.
