Cruise ship friendly Belfast to Giant’s Causeway day trip with murals, Game of Thrones trees, Bushmills Distillery, and plenty of photo stops.
“It thoroughly touched on so many points of interest. We were very pleased with seeing so many various places.”
Full-day Greenock shore excursion to Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond, with Trossachs scenery, live guide stories, and a fast taste of Highland life.
“An excellent tour! Went above and beyond my expectations. Worked well with our cruise. Our cruise was late docking and the tour sent us updates saying they were aware and not to worry the drivers know. 5 out of 5”
Invergordon shore trip with Cawdor Castle, whisky tasting, Loch Ness photos, Urquhart Castle, and a quick Inverness stop.
“The distillery tour was wonderful!! Cawdor castle, wish we had more time there. It was crowded and slow going through the castle rooms. Did not get to see much of the garden. Urquhart Castle very pretty. We didn’t go in, walked along the road and got some nice pictures of the castle and Loch Ness.”
Full-day Belfast shore excursion with Glens of Antrim drive, Giant's Causeway time, Carrick-a-Rede views, and Belfast sightseeing.
“We had a wonderful day, our guide Lisa was fabulous and the tour was excellent. The Giant’s Causeway didn’t disappoint despite rather miserable weather and Lisa adjusted the itinerary on the way back to take account of reduced visibility. The tour around Belfast was a bonus, didn’t expect to see and learn so much. A great day, many thanks!”
A cruise-friendly 8-hour tour from Liverpool to Conwy, Snowdonia’s Ogwen Valley, Betws-y-Coed, and the UNESCO Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
“Lee was fantastic! Excellent tour, views are amazing. Well worth the money.”
A full-day North Wales shore excursion from Holyhead, with Conwy castles, Snowdonia stops, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, and Llanfairpwllgwyngyll.
“Super Organisation, tolle Ziele, immer ausreichend Zeit…Super nette Reiseleitung”
Cruise-friendly 7-hour Belfast shore trip to the Glens of Antrim, Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, and Belfast city highlights.
“The tour and driver/guide was great, but we were delayed for about an hour, no fault of the driver.. We had to wait for 2 people for 15 min with no apology from them for delay of the bus. Next the poor driver had to look for 4 other people at another port and had difficultly locating the pick up spot, so we had that delay. Unfortunately we did not have much time to shop in the Belfast City Center. Over all the Causeway was amazing!”
A cruise-port friendly half-day to Chester from Liverpool, with narration, Roman sights, a city wall walk, and time to explore the Rows.
“Great! Our guide was very personable and very knowledgeable, at least to us he was since we didn’t know any better! 😊 So glad we took this tour.”
Visit the Falls of Feugh, explore royal Balmoral Castle, and spend time in Ballater on a comfortable 1-day Royal Deeside trip from Aberdeen.
“This trip required a $15 taxi ride from my hotel in Aberdeen to a dock south of town. This trip was apparently geared to cruise ship passengers. They had to be back by 4pm which reduced our trip by 2 hours. That wasn’t indicated when I signed up on line. Also, the website said to get an entrance ticket to Balmoral, which I did for $35. That was not necessary as this trip included the entry fee. All around a disappointing experience. Our guide Alan was great, very knowledgeable. Nancy J.”
Four nations, and the best of what each one puts on.
