The holidays are coming and that\u00a0<\/span>means:<\/span>holiday sales, holiday shopping,\u00a0<\/span>busy schedules, extra planning, hustle and bustle and eventually \u2013 more things to add to the house<\/span>\u00a0once<\/span>\u00a0it’s all unwrapped. Or does it? What if instead of buying the best gift item for the holidays was instead planning\u00a0<\/span>for\u00a0<\/span>the best vacation?<\/span>\u00a0Or better yet, planning the best vacation to Ireland and Scotland<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 the vacation of\u00a0<\/span>your<\/span>\u00a0dreams<\/span>?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Family comes in all shapes and sizes, formats and structures \u2013 each one unique and special. One of the big perks of going guided is that you get to focus on what\u2019s important when\u00a0traveling with that family<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 making amazing memories together. Each of our guided trips are filled with activities that not only connect you to the wonders of Ireland and Scotland, they create special connections between you and your family.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What do we do next? Where do we go? Is this food good? Is this actually fun? Can we get there in time? Leave these questions at home with the other stuff you won\u2019t be needing on your trip. Whether you\u2019re looking for the\u00a0best of Scotland<\/a>\u00a0or a full\u00a0Irish Experience<\/a>\u00a0(or one of the other excellent options we have as well) what you get with guided travel is quality. Quality of time well spent. Quality activities like falconry or archery or quality food like carefully prepared traditional dishes served in personal spaces. Most of all \u2013 we handle the details in between, such as transportation, directions, and making sure all you need to do is find your preferred spot on the coach and relax.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s a hard to shop for person(s) in every family. You never quite know what they want or if it’s just right. Something we pride ourselves on with our trips is the diversity of activity each one has to offer. Whether you want to connect with nature, explore history (yours included), golf (in the homelands of golf no less), sip and savor your way across the isles or fill up on castle visits \u2013 you’re going to have a chance to pursue it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When you\u2019re exploring the Celtic Isles, it\u2019s hard NOT to get drawn in by a sense of magical beauty. Invest in a sense of wonder, and maybe tie it back into the holidays. Want better stories to tell around the fire? We\u2019ve got a legend for that. On the\u00a0Enchanting Emerald Isle<\/a>\u00a0trips get the gift of the gab by kissing the Blarney Stone and just see if the whole experience doesn\u2019t set you talking. Or if gifting cryptids for Christmas is more your style, might we suggest\u00a0Scotland’s Highlands, Islands and Cities<\/a>? See if you can spot any loch-dwelling inhabitants from the gorgeous Loch Ness shoreline.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Local Specialists, deeply connected guides, and carefully chosen experiences make the experiences we include in your travel more than just a sightseeing trip. These are people, in places that they are passionate about, doing work they care deeply for. What this means is that they will take you beyond the beauty of a location and personally connect you to the why of it. Show you the small details and special nuances that only the locals would know. Anyone can walk around a magnificent city and point out its qualities, we choose those who know the history, mystery and secrets of what makes it special.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are some places and memories that always stay with you. Travel, we like to think, is always one of them. From the places you go, the food you eat, to the people you meet \u2013 Ireland and Scotland stay with you. It\u2019s the warmth, the sincere kindness, the passion for history and country, the care and excitement of having tourist \u201cvisitors\u201d – there\u2019s nowhere quite like our homelands.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
