Scotland: Land of Lore & Legend - May 2027

There were so many memorable moments on this tour from Glasgow through the Highlands to the North Sea to Edinburgh, but the visit to the sheep farm was educational and the Isle of Mull and Iona were beautiful. The Scottish people are so friendly as one told us that everyone has Scottish ancestors if you are from North America or Europe, so all are welcomed. The only nervous moments were passing trucks on the roads in the Highlands, talk about a tight squeeze, but our bus driver was amazing and our tour guide, Andy Parker, was excellent! Try this trip if you are thinking of doing a small group tour - 24 people.

Tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable on everything from the history of where we were, to places to eat, to myths, legends and local stories. The driver was phenomenal and I have motion sickness which was never an issue with him behind the wheel. Would recommend to anyone who like me, wants a trip where they can just truly relax and enjoy knowing everything will go smoothly.

Britain and Ireland Grandeur - Signature - May 2027

(1 review )

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

This was a fun trip, but it was very fast-paced. It gave a great overview of all that the UK and Ireland have to offer, but there wasn’t enough time to see very much of it in depth. It’s perfect for helping you pick out the places you want to see again in more detail. It involves a fair amount of riding around on the coach, but the route is consistently planned with carefully spaced “comfort” breaks. Some of the stops in small towns were given too much time, when there wasn’t much to do or see, and some of the stops could have been longer, when there was a lot to see or do. Our Tour Director was excellent, and so was our driver. Most of the hotels were very nice, with a few that were just OK. The included group dinners weren’t very exciting, but they were reasonable and tasty.

The entire trip was wonderful. I’m unable to single out just one city or experience because I enjoyed it all equally. I signed up for every optional experience and was not disappointed. I loved the ruins and the history from both our tour director and the specialists brought on in various areas.

Hi there, I thought another day in Scotland would have been better. Maybe gone to Glasgow and then combined the last 2 days in the UK together. The last 2 days were a wee bit of a disappointment compared to the first part of the trip. Our TD was wonderful she is so knowledgeable and really knows her stuff.
