GLOBUS 2025: A Taste of Ireland and Scotland (GL)
9 Day Tour from Dublin to Edinburgh
Fancy seeing the very best of Ireland and Scotland in 9 days? This is the vacation for you, starting with 4 days in Ireland taking in the lively capitals of Dublin and Belfast, with plenty of scenic action in between. Learn the art of scone baking and sheep herding at a typical Irish farm visit that will be a memory that will never fade and visit the ultimate Titanic experience to understand fully why the ship holds such an iconic place in history. The Celtic connection sails across the seas to Scotland with visits to castles in Inveraray, Stirling and Edinburgh, a whisky distillery and even a remote village community that supplied roof slate to thousands of houses. Along the way the scenery will astound you as you glide through lochs and glens to the capital of Edinburgh, known as 'Auld Reekie' from days gone by when the city was filled with smoke from coal and wood fires. This trip will warm the cockles of your Celtic heart!
