June 2025 • 9-Day Discover Scotland and Ireland Tour

Had an amazing vacation. My friend and I spent 9 days on the Scotland and Ireland tour with our driver Damian McKenna. My friend and I LOVED Damian! He was so much fun. He was so informative and funny. It was a family of 9 and my friend and I. We got along well and will have lasting memories! I am thinking of another trip and bring my family. I just want to make sure we get Damian again!

May 2025 • 9-Day Discover Scotland and Ireland Tour

Our 9 Day Discover Scotland & Ireland 2025 Tour was very enjoyable and relaxing. Our tour driver-guide John Dennany was very knowledgeable, providing insights on the history of the area we were visiting that day. John was flexible to allow the group time to explore and was very good at navigating to find scenic routes & countryside landmarks.

About your Tour Guide

57.2% of our reviews mention their tour guide by name

Perhaps the most vital ingredient of any tour is your tour guide. Acting not only as your guide but also as your driver, their knowledge and experience, passion and personality form the foundation on which any successful tour is built.

That's why we only work with the very best guides in Ireland and Britain. As our past guests know, our tour guides are a big reason why we're Ireland's best-rated tour operator, with 2,365 five-star reviews out of a possible 2,432.

  • Irish born and bred

    All of our driver-guides were born in Ireland and have lived here all their lives. What's more, they are passionate about our country, its culture and its heritage.

  • Qualified and experienced

    Our driver-guides are qualified, experienced professionals who are committed to impeccable customer care and making your vacation memorable for all the right reasons.

  • Experts in Irish and British history

    Our driver-guides are true experts in their field. Their knowledge of Irish and British history, culture (and where to get the best pint of Guinness) is second to none.

  • Committed to your safety and care

    Your safety and comfort are paramount to us and to all our driver-guides. All our guides are experienced coach drivers with impeccable safety records.

Tour accommodation

On your 9-Day Discover Scotland and Ireland Tour, you will be staying exclusively in four-star hotels. But not all four-star hotels are the same. We know and trust the accommodation providers we use, and we choose them carefully based not only on their star rating but also on their location, service, value and character. With years of experience in the industry, we have the knowledge, the experience and the local contacts to design the perfect accommodation package for your vacation.

We are very selective in getting just the right accommodation for each specific tour, and we are very proud of the selection of hotels we have put together. Some of these hotels are family-owned, just like ourselves, and we have a long-standing relationship with them all.

Tour Vehicles

On a tour vacation, the journey can be just as important as the destination. That's why our tour buses are all of the highest standards, both in terms of luxury and reliability.

We choose our tour vehicles carefully. All our tour buses offer plenty of space to spread out, tinted windows, air conditioning and on-board fridges. It's what you should expect.

We deliberately leave some seats empty. In fact, we use 34/49-seater coaches, but limit the number of participants to 26. That's because we want all of our guests to be able to spread out, relax and enjoy the journey. This smaller group size is a core principle in our tours.

Please note: the bus shown in the gallery is one of the 34-seater coaches used on our tours for max. 26 guests. For any reason, should one of these become unavailable for your tour, we will endeavour to provide an equally luxurious and comfortable touring bus.
