“We just returned from an Irish Highlights tour and it was superb! Our travel director and driver were the BEST!... Truly a trip of a lifetime. Brendan took care of the planning so we could sit back and enjoy!

Today I kissed the Blarney Stone. So I now have the gift to gab!!!! It was quite interesting and fun! Another first today was that I got to pull my first Guinness draft! I didn’t do too bad!!! Cheers everyone! #mybrendanstory
Scottish Kilts & Clubs
Linda D.
The guys played golf five times in 10 days and were ecstatic, especially after playing at St. Andrews, the pinnacle of the trip for them… It is an experience I will never forget.
