Belfast roots. California experience. A passion for home.

About Ireland & Scotland Luxury Tours

Ireland & Scotland Luxury Tours was founded in 2008 to offer a more considered way to experience these islands—through depth, access, and genuine local knowledge.

The company was established by Maurice, a Belfast native with a background in commercial law and professional rugby. His career on and off the field created enduring relationships across Ireland and Scotland, many of which now open doors to private experiences unavailable to the general traveller.

Following more than a decade living in California, the company developed a strong understanding of international expectations around service, comfort, and clarity—standards that continue to shape every journey designed today.

Ireland & Scotland Luxury Tours remains intentionally small and owner-run. Each tour is planned and delivered by the same close-knit team, ensuring consistency, discretion, and personal attention throughout. There are no outsourced drivers and no handovers—every detail is managed in-house.

Every itinerary is meticulously crafted, drawing on local insight and long-standing relationships to create journeys that feel effortless, unhurried, and entirely bespoke.
