Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

Highlights
Adare: Experience a village walk through the main street lined with thatched cottages.
Belfast: Meet a true Belfast local on a panoramic tour where you’ll hear about the history of the city and learn why locals are proud of its progress and current prosperity. You’ll explore iconic sights like the Big Fish at Donegall Quay, the Titanic Quarter, and the famous Samson and Goliath cranes. Along the way, you’ll also visit Belfast City Hall and see murals in various locations that reflect the political sentiments of the local residents.
Glencoe: Drive through Glencoe, a Highland valley known for steep mountains, open moorland and clan history. Your Travel Director shares context on the area’s past as you follow the road through one of Scotland’s best-known landscapes, with views that show the scale and character of the Highlands.
Eilean Donan: See one of Scotland’s most iconic castles, set where three lochs meet. Framed by rugged mountains and often shrouded in mist, it’s a favorite film location and one of the country’s most photographed landmarks.
Inverness: At the Culloden Visitor Center, you’ll discover why the Battle of Culloden lasted only an hour yet changed the Highland way of life forever.
St. Andrews: Spend time in St Andrews, a coastal university town shaped by old quadrangles, sea air and open links. Walk to the stretch of West Sands Beach where Chariots of Fire filmed its iconic scene, then look across the Old Course, regarded as the birthplace of modern golf.

Overall we had a wonderful experience. Our guide was absolutely wonderful and our driver was great. We saw so many places that we would never have seen if we’d been on our own and also learned facts we would never have gotten. Great time.

We enjoyed the rural parts of Ireland and Scotland, but could have bypassed Dublin, Belfast, Waterford, and Edinburgh. The Be My Guest experiences were terrific, but on the tour in general, there were a variety of unnecessary stops at gift shops. There was not enough time at certain cultural stops to explore. The food was generally good, but the drinks that came with prepaid dinners were skimpy compared to what is served when you pay at the bar. The tour guide and driver were excellent and the community feel of being with the group made it special.
