Scotland Tours and Trips

Great overview of Scottish life and culture. From large cities to small towns and historic sites the tour included something for everyone. Our guide Sean, and driver Christine, were great! Kept everyone involved and safe and promoted a great group dynamic.

We did so much while on this trip … covered cities, countrysides, tourist attractions, smaller family-run experiences, and the amount of free time was perfect! Our guide was extremely knowledgable in the history of the countries which was a tremendous benefit! I learned so much about the history of Ireland and Scotland, and that mixed with everything that we saw and did made this vacation, exceptional.

The itinerary was perfect. What really made our journey memorable was the tour director. Sean took the time to listen to what we wanted to do, even took input from all of us during the trip. He planned a special birthday toast to those of us celebrating during our trip. We got lost once and made it back to the bus 10 minutes late. He was so gracious about it. He gave us so many options and good information about every stop, places to eat, shop, and explore. He was so helpful in giving us information about our extended stay, how to make connections, and guiding us onto the next leg of our vacation. As a company, you can plan the best itinerary, but without an exceptional tour guide, it would be just a nice trip. Sean made it so special for us....unforgettable.

Make sure you pack extension cords as some of the host hotels do not have outlets next to beds. All hotel rooms were clean but small. Covered over 1,900 miles so be prepared to be on the bus allot. Beautiful country to ride through. Hopefully you will have a host that shares the history and stories to make the time pass as joyfully as Francesca did for our group. Fantastic tour.

Great Itinerary, we seemed to have seen everything in Scotland, at least most of it! I selected this especially because it went to Orkney and Iona, and spent lots of time in the highlands.

Scotland is one of the most beautiful, scenic countries I’ve ever experienced! The itinerary Trafalgar compiled showcased Scotland’s best—from Glasgow & Edinburgh to Loch Lomond, St. Andrew’s, Loch Ness and the Highlands. The hotels were nice and the hotel in the country had us feeling like we were living within a picturesque Hallmark movie! Seriously, Hallmark should write and shoot one of their romance movies at the lamb farm hotel we stayed in. I loved that we stayed in a hotel for TWO nights each which was significantly more comfortable than changing hotels every night. The group dinners were very good and our bus driver was STELLAR! It was unbelievable how he managed to get our coach through several super tight squeezes without a scratch! Our tour guide was great as well! She was knowledgeable, organized, very friendly and informative throughout the trip! We enjoyed getting to know her a bit! I’d encourage anyone who doesn’t know a country well to let Trafalgar take the stress off of planning an itinerary and taking care of travel and hotels. We experienced more than we would have on our own. Trafalgar even planned a visit to a castle which is someone’s home. Their ancestral line has owned it for 12 generations! We then ate a group dinner with the owners there sharing with us. This was a FABULOUS vacation and we are very pleased with our experience with Trafalgar.
