Scotland Tours in April 2027

My trip to Ireland and Scotland was amazing and I loved every minute of it. This trip has been my dream for a long time and every one was so loving and kind. Thank you for making this experience so memorable. I believe what went well is how the tour was laid out and how it was orchestrated and planned for each event and options that were extra. I believe that it was very important to know all the details and communicated clearly regarding the price of each one and what other options were offered to each of us. I would say that the airport experience was not the best to some degree and could have been more communicative when others were arriving in Dublin or what our next steps were since no one was there to greet us. That’s the only thing I found difficult. Other than that it was fantastic.

I loved this itinerary! It gave you a glimpse of many places within both countries. We covered a great deal of ground - but were never sitting in the coach for more than an hour and a half at a time. Very reasonable lengths of time! There is so much history that you can access through a tour like this (not only our tour director but all of the local guides as well). I would never have been able to hear this information going it alone! Everyone was super friendly and it was up to you how much you wanted to interact with other guests. I had a fantastic time meeting my fellow travelers. I would definitely recommend the optional activities. Yes, it is additional money, but you really get to know your travel companions and most of the activities were full of entertainment, information and history! Again, not something you would get from booking a dinner (for e.g.) on your own. So immersive! Loved the hotels - good locations, high quality accommodations. Our tour director and tour driver were fabulous! Loved this tour every step of the way!

The tour covered the perimeter of the country well from Edinburgh to Glasgow. The driver, Arthur, was fantastic and the tour director, Alison, was wonderful making sure that there were frequent and interesting stops on the long bus days.

It was well planned and provided opportunities that would be difficult to find on our own. We were able to experience lots of local culture and enjoy beautiful scenery. Hotels and transportation were very comfortable, and food provided was excellent.

I thought the itinerary was very good. We did see quite a lot of Scotland. I enjoyed Edinburgh the best. There was so much history and the stone buildings and cobblestone sidewalks were beautiful. It was a very walkable city. The beach at St. Andrews was stunning. The scenery in the Highlands was stunning, even though the heather was not blooming. The landscape reminded me of Iceland with the snow-capped mountains, waterfalls and stark colors. I was disappointed in the Isle of Skye since we only went to the "tourist trap town". I would have like to see more of the island. The castles we saw were stunning and steeped in history. Glasgow was also incredible, but not very walkable. I'm glad that the bus dropped us off in the city center. The amount of shops and restaurants there was fantastic. Our food was kind of hit or miss. My wife and I are vegetarians, so we had some good meals included with the tour then we had some not so good meals. When we were left on our own to find food, we had no problem finding vegetarian food and it was all very good. Our tour director and bus driver were very good. Both of them had a great sense of humor and seemed to have a great rapport with one another. We had a lot of fun with them. I enjoyed the fact that we spent 2 days at a hotel instead of packing up every day.

Ben Sims was our amazing tour guide! We experienced the real fabric of England, Wales and a bit of Scotland. We visited places that only a smaller tour coach and a knowledgeable guide would be familiar with, and we learned much about history , geology and flora and fauna. Our tours of Beatrix Potter's place, The Beatles museum and Rosslyn were highlights, but there were so many highlights._ the iron bridge, the aquaduct, churches , cathedrals, national parks, Scottish tapestry and many quaint villages.
