Our small groups guarantee Never more than 26 guests per tour

We always keep our tour group sizes small. That's because we want every guest to get the comfort, space and service they deserve. Although many other companies squeeze in groups of up to 50, even the largest of our tour packages are strictly limited to just 26 guests. That leaves empty seats on the coaches. So why do we limit our tours to such small group sizes? Here are six reasons.

Superior Service

Guests consistently list our small group sizes as a top reason why they would book with us again. See our reviews...

More focus on you

With a smaller group, our tour guides have more time to get to know you and your interests.

We deliberately leave empty seats on our coaches, so you can relax and spread out.

Experience each attraction up-close and personal, with more time to ask questions and see what interests you.

Speedier Check-Ins

Compared with many of our rivals, our smaller group sizes make checking in and out of the hotels a breeze.

More Relaxed Pace

Experience Ireland at your own pace. No rushing to keep up and no waiting around for large groups to assemble.

Ireland and Scotland Tours and Trips 2024/2025

From the towering Edinburgh Castle to the Blarney Stone, from Killarney National Park to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, a tour of Ireland and Scotland is one of the best ways to pack a lot into one trip. Whether you want to visit the stunning Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, hike up a storm in the Highlands of Scotland, or even explore on a train tour of Ireland and Scotland, it’s all possible here. There are also specialized tours of Ireland and Scotland, such as tours for seniors that include more transportation and less exertion while still including all the major sights and experiences. Ireland and Scotland tours generally start and finish in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, or Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, because both cities have large international airports.

Need some support? Check out a guided tour of Scotland and Ireland! You can learn about clan culture in the Highlands of Scotland, the Troubles in Belfast and Derry, or even soak up the musical and artistic atmosphere of Galway and Glasgow.

Ireland and Scotland Tours and Trips

Traveling to Ireland Vs Scotland: An Overview

Looking for more information before you book Ireland and Scotland tours? From transport to highlights of the trip, we’ve got you covered.

Getting from Ireland and Scotland

One of the most popular ways to get from Ireland to Scotland is by boat. The shortest crossing between the two is only two hours long and connects the eastern coast of Northern Ireland with the west of Scotland.

If you’re after speed, there are plenty of low-cost flight routes between Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Cork, Aberdeen, and more. Flight times between Ireland and Scotland are an hour and a half. The fastest and cheapest from the Republic of Ireland to Scotland is from Dublin to Glasgow which only takes an hour and can be as little as USD 18 each way. Most tours of Ireland and Scotland either start or end in Dublin and Edinburgh, so plan your international flights accordingly.

Many of the best tours of Ireland and Scotland travel around the countries by bus or coach, from where you’ll be able to appreciate more of the countryside and historic castles and spaces that lie off-the-beaten-path. Of course, to get between the two nations, you’ll need to choose between the ferry or the flight, so you may need to factor in the cost of additional transport. Private tours of Ireland and Scotland can benefit from private car transfers instead for a premium.

Best Time to Visit Ireland and Scotland

The best time to visit both Ireland and Scotland depends on what you are looking for. For the best weather and lots of events, visit in the high season—but be prepared for crowds (including hordes of people in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival) and more expensive prices. Instead, travel in May or wait until September/October. The weather is still fairly warm and dry, the crowds are fewer, and the prices are a lot cheaper than in the summer on both accommodation and travel. This way, you can enjoy your Ireland and Scotland tour without having to share the experience with hundreds of other tourists.

For a seasonal guide, check out our article on the best time to visit Ireland . Read our article and learn the month-wise information about the best time to go to Scotland .

Highlights of an Ireland and Scotland Trip

• Follow the footsteps of the stars across two countries. In Northern Ireland, jump on a Game of Thrones tour. Parts of the iconic series were filmed here and you can easily tour the locations and pretend that you’re in Westeros. In Scotland, you can live out your Harry Potter fantasies on The Jacobite Steam Train near Loch Shiel. This is the iconic spot where the Hogwarts Express goes over the impressive viaduct bridge on the way to school and is a popular tour spot for the whole family.
• Tour the Western Isles of Scotland and Ireland. The West Coast of Scotland is home to dozens of stunning islands, all with their own culture, beautiful beaches, and clear waters, such as the Isle of Barra, which looks like a Caribbean Island — we’re not joking! On the Irish side, the West Atlantic Way is a legendary road trip route known for its coastal beauty and small fishing villages.
• Soak up the academic history and culture at the Trinity Library in Dublin. As one of the most famous and gorgeous libraries in the world, bibliophiles will be in their element. While in Edinburgh, check out the National Museum of Scotland, where you can see Scottish contributions to science, art, and more, including the world’s first prosthetic limb!
• Learn all about Scottish art in Glasgow. Scotland’s second city is bursting with creativity and art, including the Rennie Mackintosh Museum. On the other side of the water, join a street art tour of Dublin and see the bright and colorful creativity of the city.
• Wander the national parks. Both Ireland and Scotland tours are filled with stunning natural beauty, from Loch Lomond and the Trossachs in Scotland to Killarney National Park in Ireland. Hike, spot wildlife, and experience beautiful views.

Ireland and Scotland Travel Tips

• Ireland and Scotland self-drive tours are a great way to keep costs low and add some more flexibility to your trip. As the weather in Ireland and Scotland isn’t always the most reliable, a self-drive option allows you to shift your plans slightly to get the most out of the destinations you love.
• Pub culture is real in both Scotland and Ireland. Carve out some time to visit a local pub, especially if they have live folk music on. Many pubs in the major cities and towns will have local acts, which give you an insight into the rich culture of the area.
• In both countries, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! The weather changes every hour, so be prepared with waterproof jackets, hats, and sunblock. It’s not uncommon to have four seasons in one day!

From our travelers

The itinerary for our trip was excellent, and so were the hotels (two castle stays!) but the absolute best part of the trip was the Tour Director. Joe not only organized and took care of all of us the entire trip, but he shared with us his personal insights and experiences that enhanced the history of Ireland and made it very real for us. I feel this was what made our group become so close, and some of us still keep in touch and plan on taking another trip next year!

Judy l kupitz, our amazing, unforgettable vacation.

Having everything included, worry free & no hassle is why we chose CIE. We wanted to see beautiful country sides, towns & villages (not just cities) & amazing castles (ruins & otherwise) & you delivered!!

Tricia Ann Barnes

Scots irish tour - 11 days/10 nights-wonderful trip and tour guides, i highly recommend for first trip there..

It was a wonderful trip highlighting both Scotland and Ireland. Guides were very informative and friendly. For our first trip there, this was the best way to go.

Cyndy Jay Rose

Scots irish tour - 15 days/14 nights-the best tour we have ever done beautiful scenery and tour guides/drivers..

The stops to see the scenery, castles, hotels, small towns, shopping ,was fantastic. The food was delicious and memorable. I think the tour guide/drivers made this trip. We were all like a big family on vacation with someone who cared about all the guests on the bus. Lucky us. One of my favorite stops was just out of Belfast to an old pub with so much character, good food, beer and local music ( Crosskeys Inn-Irelands oldest thatched pub). Colm our tour guide/driver treated us to his singing in this pub. Such a beautiful gift to share with all of us. Oh and Kilronan Castle-Wow! I think more stops for scenery would have been fun but how do you fit it all in, so much to enjoy!! The ferry ride from Scotland to Ireland was something like being on a cruise ship. For a 2hr ride it had a bar, restaurant with delicious fish and chips and a spa!! I am from Canada and our ferrys are not even close to such luxury. The back pack that CiE provided myself and my husband were great, full of useful things,maps, straps, name tags, plug in adapters. Zippered pouch for pens, combs, paper etc. Nice water bottle. We used the back packs every day!! The people on the bus, my husband and I, felt that if the bus driver felt comfortable eating with us or had time-we would have loved his company!! Even the guides like Becky!!(the Scottish tour guide) It is a good way to make lasting friendships. My husband and I are talking about returning one day and bringing family. Thank you CIE for a most amazing vacation!! Wish we were still there.
