We all like having options, which is why at Brendan Vacations every Celtic vacation in Ireland and Scotland is different. When you begin yours, we bring you choices to tailor your trip to exactly what you want.
We don't ask you to choose one way or the other when planning your experiences – we say, “Why not have both?”
Here’s how we do it.
