May 6 - May 15, 2026
We loved our trip to Scotland and Ireland! Aleksandra did a wonderful job of planning the tour. She was also responsive to us, as we needed changes to the plans as we went along.
My most favorable experiences were the beautiful b&b’s, the bike tour on the Aran Islands, the tea and scones (everywhere), and the diversity of the food options and abundance of live music in the restaurants throughout the trip.
We found that one event per day was enough for us, and we enjoyed walking around the city streets and driving on the country roads.
One piece of advice I have for any traveler is to be clear with your tour planner what time you would like to start the day each day, when you need down time, and what transport you expect you will need and when.
Thank you, Alessandra and KimKim!
Hotel Reviews
This hotel has delicious food and kind and helpful staff. The rooms are large and well appointed.
Right on the Corrib River, and walkable to downtown. Bathrooms are small & in particular shower is tiny! Staff is kind and food is excellent.
Modern hotel, near English Market
We liked this hotel, as it had a sauna, a cold plunge, and massages (the latter for a fee). The lounge was pleasant to sit in; it had a bar and looked out on the back garden. We could walk downtown. Excellent restaurants nearby. The hosts were helpful too, as I left a book light and paperback in the room when we departed, and they gave them to our friends to return it to us.
Activity Reviews
Great tour guide! Nice to sit in the bar after and enjoy the tastes of different gibs and whiskey.
I really liked this tour. Nice to have options for people who don’t want to or can’t bike. They offered a horse and carriage and e-bike options.
I liked this tour but we would have liked to know we were going to be eating dinner ahead of time, and it was difficult to find the tour guide at the start. We visited three bars with food and also had Murphy’s ice cream of the street. The tour guide was kind and helpful.
Kevin was a great guide. We fished in the bay and caught 8 pollock (threw them back). You can keep them and eat the fish later if you like!
Early, but on time!
