Roam the Celtic highlands and emerald shores of these two noble neighbors.

Warm smiles. Cheeky humor. Miles of undulating landscapes and craggy coastlines. These are the hallmarks of Scotland and Ireland. From quirky, cultured Edinburgh to the lively pubs of Dublin, you’ll get a taste of city life. Along the way, you’ll visit the smaller, but just-as-bright jewels of Glasgow and Galway. And if it’s the feeling of “Is this place real?” that you’re looking for, you’re in for a treat with stops at the Burren and Cliffs of Moher. We already know you’ll want more time to enjoy Edinburgh, so we’ve arranged an early arrival option that lets you spend three extra days in its medieval nooks and crannies.

This tour was excellent. Sorcha made the tour an amazing experience. She added so many personal touches and made us all feel special. The only part of the tour I would suggest not including is the underground tour .
