  Asked on July 9th, 2026

  Are days 7, 8 and 9 correct? Seems to go from Ireland, to Scotland and back to Ireland?

    TrafalgarOperator•Written July 2026

    You're absolutely right to double-check the flow. For the 15‐Day Trafalgar Best of Ireland and Scotland adventure, the correct sequence is:
    
    Day 7: Ballina to Derry/Londonderry (Northern Ireland)
    Day 8: Derry/Londonderry to Belfast, including a visit to the Giant's Causeway
    Day 9: Belfast to Glasgow via ferry crossing to Scotland
    
    So, the itinerary moves through Ireland/Northern Ireland first, then crosses to Scotland, and does not go back to Ireland after arriving in Scotland.

  Do we pass by Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher? Is the tour in English? Can I have a French audio guide during the visits? Do I have some freedom during this stay, for example if I don't want to go on a particular visit? Or for the meals not included? The outbound flight to get to Dublin? Should I handle it myself or can tourradar help me? To know the nationality of the people who make this type of stay if possible.

    You have the flexibility to purchase airfare either through Trafalgar or on your own. Regarding transfers, we offer complimentary arrival and departure services, provided you meet the shuttle timing requirements. Arrival Transfers: Complimentary transfers from Dublin Airport (DUB) are available at 08:30, 11:00, and 13:00 on the first day of the tour. Departure Transfers: Complimentary transfers to Edinburgh Airport (EDI) are scheduled for 08:00 on the last day of the tour. About transportation options during your time on your own in Ireland and Scotland. In Ireland, Uber operates in a limited capacity, primarily offering services through licensed taxi drivers rather than the typical ride-sharing model. Lyft is not available in Ireland. In Scotland, Uber is available in major cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow, providing a convenient option for getting around. However, Lyft does not operate in Scotland. For both countries, traditional taxis and public transportation are reliable alternatives.
