Plan Your Trip

In detail

Days 1–2

The Scottish Highlands

Arrive in Glasgow and begin your journey north into the spellbinding Scottish Highlands, where mountain peaks and glacial valleys frame the road to Glencoe. Wander along serene Loch Leven, take a gondola up the Nevis Range, and taken in the quiet majesty of Scotland’s wild landscapes.

Continue toward the enchanting Isle of Skye, crossing by ferry from Mallaig. Visit Dunvegan Castle and Gardens, home of Clan MacLeod, where centuries of legend come alive within its stone walls. End your day with a private whisky tasting and a fireside dinner overlooking Skye’s rugged coast.

Days 3–4

From Skye to the Cairngorms

Spend the morning exploring Skye’s ethereal landscapes on a guided hike through rolling moors and dramatic cliffs, before journeying east toward the Cairngorms National Park. En route, stop at the mirror-like waters of Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most photographed icons, and pause at Loch Ness, keeping an eye out for its elusive legend.

In the Cairngorms, venture off-road through the Rothiemurchus Estate with a private ranger, exploring forested glens, crystal-clear lochs, and abundant wildlife. This is Scotland at its most untamed and beautiful.

Days 5–6

Dublin & The Wicklow Mountains

Fly from Edinburgh to Dublin, where Irish warmth and city charm await. Settle into your boutique townhouse, then join your private guide to experience Dublin’s vibrant spirit – from the halls of the Guinness Storehouse to a lively evening of folklore, music, and storytelling in one of the city’s oldest pubs.

The next day, escape into the rolling hills of County Wicklow, exploring the stunning valley of Glendalough. Wander among ancient ruins and round towers, walk beside mirrored lakes, and feel the serenity that has drawn pilgrims here for centuries.

Days 7–8

Ennis, The Cliffs of Moher & The Burren

Collect your car and journey west toward County Clare. Stop in welcoming villages en route before settling into Ennis, a town alive with laughter, storytelling, and lively pub sessions.

The following day, stand before the Cliffs of Moher, where the Atlantic crashes against sheer limestone walls. Continue into The Burren, a surreal karst landscape of prehistoric tombs, wildflowers, and ancient mysteries. End your day in colorful Galway, where cobbled streets and cheerful pubs echo with the sound of fiddles and laughter.

Day 9

Connemara

Journey into the wild beauty of Connemara, a landscape defined by vast boglands, windswept mountains, and mirror-like lakes. Explore Killary Fjord, Ireland’s only fjord, or visit the romantic Kylemore Abbey, its reflection shimmering in tranquil waters. For those who love the outdoors, a guided hike through Connemara National Park reveals the rugged heart of western Ireland in all its majesty.

Return to Galway for a final evening of warmth and celebration.

Day 10

Departure

Depart from Shannon Airport, carrying with you the memories of Celtic legends, misty peaks, heartfelt welcomes, and the quiet magic of two lands where time seems to stand still.

The Guinness Connoisseur Experience, Dublin Inside St James's Gate, a private bar on the fourth floor of the Guinness Storehouse offers a different way into one of the world's most recognised drinks: four variants, one trained connoisseur and the story behind every pour.

Titanic Belfast Museum Titanic Belfast stands on the slipways of the Harland and Wolff shipyard where the Titanic was built between 1909 and 1911. Across nine interactive galleries, the story moves from the streets of early 20th-century Belfast through the construction, the maiden voyage and the night of April 14, 1912, to the ocean floor and the legacy that followed

Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Kilmainham Gaol opened in 1796 and closed in 1924. In the 128 years between, it held petty criminals, Famine survivors, political prisoners and the leaders of every major Irish rebellion. A private guided visit reaches the parts of that history that a crowded standard tour cannot.

Dining the Wild Atlantic Way Aniar in Galway and Chestnut in west Cork hold Michelin stars and serve tasting menus built entirely around what the land, the shore and the season provide. No fixed menus, no outside sourcing.

EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum sits in the stone vaults of the CHQ building on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands. Twenty interactive galleries tell the story of Irish emigration across centuries, from the reasons people left to the countries they shaped. A guided visit adds a layer of depth the self-guided experience cannot replicate.
