Scotland & Ireland Explorer

5.0 ⭐     37 customer reviews

A journey of castles, coastlines, and culture. Begin in the storied streets of Edinburgh and follow the ancient path to Belfast, Giant’s Causeway, and the soul of Dublin. From whisky to legends, from royal history to lively nights—this is a sampler of two remarkable Celtic lands.

Day 1: Welcome to Edinburgh

Your Scottish adventure begins with a warm welcome and a taste of what’s to come. After meeting your group in the afternoon, set off on a panoramic drive through Edinburgh, a city split by time—on one side, the medieval maze of the Royal Mile; on the other, the neoclassical elegance of the New Town. Let the city whisper its stories as you explore. Tonight, the city is yours to wander and dine as you please.

Start the day at the innovative Port of Leith Distillery, where tradition meets sustainability in Scotland’s legendary spirit. Afterward, step into centuries of drama at Edinburgh Castle, where the Scottish Crown Jewels still shimmer with royal power. The rest of the day is yours—walk the cobbled closes, find a quiet whisky bar, or simply enjoy the rhythm of the city.
(Guests traveling on August 3 or 10 will be treated to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo—an unforgettable performance beneath the castle walls.)

Head south along the rugged coastline to the striking Culzean Castle, perched on cliffs above the Firth of Clyde. Tour its lavish rooms—including the Eisenhower Apartment—and enjoy lunch overlooking the sea. Then board the ferry at Cairnryan and set sail for Belfast. Upon arrival, settle into your hotel and enjoy a hearty dinner with your group.

Venture through the spellbinding Nine Glens of Antrim, where legends hide in every hill and ocean mist dances across the cliffs. Then, stand in awe at the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of basalt columns forged by fire and time. Cap off the day with a traditional lunch at the charming Crosskeys Inn, the oldest thatched pub in Ireland.

This morning, dive into maritime history at Titanic Belfast, an interactive experience honoring the ship and the city that built her. Then walk the halls of Hillsborough Castle, an official royal residence, and imagine the diplomacy that still takes place within its walls. Continue to Dublin and close the evening with a joyful Irish night at Taylors Three Rock, filled with song, dance, and local flavor.

Uncover Dublin’s layered charm—from Georgian grandeur to modern culture—on a panoramic city tour. Then visit EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, where cutting-edge exhibits trace the journeys of those who left Ireland and changed the world. The afternoon and evening are yours: walk the banks of the Liffey, discover live music in Temple Bar, or toast your adventure with one last pint.

After breakfast, your Celtic journey concludes. You’ve touched two countries, dozens of legends, and a thousand memories. Until next time—slàinte!
