About this trip
Thirteen days by coach through Scotland and Ireland, starting in Edinburgh and finishing in Dublin. You get the Highlands, whisky and bagpipes on one side, then folk songs and Guinness on the other — two distinct countries with their own rhythm, back to back.
This is a proper sightseeing trip in the classic sense: a group, a coach, and a route built around the big landmarks and landscapes rather than long stays in any one place. Good for anyone who wants a broad first look at both countries without organising the logistics themselves.
What you'll do
- Explore Edinburgh at the start of the trip
- Cruise Loch Ness in the Highlands
- Visit Blarney Castle in Ireland
- Travel overland between Scotland and Ireland by coach
- Finish the trip in Dublin
- Coach-based and fully guided, so most of the route and pace is set for you
- Covers a lot of ground across two countries in 13 days, expect regular travel days
- Suits travellers who want a broad overview of Scotland and Ireland rather than deep time in one region
Worth it if you want a well-guided, socially buzzy tour with solid logistics. Think twice if you need downtime or prefer a slower pace.
- Guide Remi and driver Giuseppe earned multiple mentions for genuinely exceptional service and personal care.
- Group dynamic consistently praised; solo travellers felt welcomed and the people on tour became a real draw.
- Packed itinerary leaves minimal rest time despite visiting fantastic locations; early starts and constant movement.
- Add-on activities available but reviewers didn't specify costs; factor in extras beyond the base tour price.
