What Our Guests Say
Read what our guests have shared about their private journeys through Ireland, Scotland and beyond.
We will definitely see you again in 2027!
Our tour of Scotland in October 2026 with Ireland and Scotland Luxury Tours was simply fabulous.
The hotels were all of a good high standard.
Our driver and guide Austen was very good, and the vehicle was so comfortable.
Scotland was amazing and while we had an itinerary we felt like we were meandering and exploring.
It was so relaxing yet we saw such a lot.
I think Loch Ness was the highlight, but Barbara loved Stirling Castle.
It was all good.
See you in 2027 for our tour of Ireland.
Maurice, I just wanted to take a few moments thank you for all your hard work and attention to details you provided on our recent trip to Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland. I can easily tell from the hotels you booked for us that you made sure we enjoyed the best possible accommodations at each stop along the way. In fact, on Monday October 19th the NBC Today Show broadcasted from Sheen Falls from the exact spot we enjoyed our views of the bridge and falls! Sheen Falls, Ballynahinch Castle, The Culloden, Camerom House, Kinloch Lodge, Culloden House, and the George in Edinburgh all were so fantastic I couldn’t pick a favorite. Along with the wonderful accommodations were the places we visited. I could list them all, but definitely highlights included Rock of Cashel ,Gleninchaquin Park, Molly Gallvan’s Cottage, the streets of Kenmare, Cliffs of Moher, Kylemore Abbey, and on and on! The trip was made so easily because of our driver, Billy Dempsey. He was such a pleasure to be around and made out travel worry free. Of course there was a special surprise arranged by you that was not on the itinerary, and that was Holywood Golf Club where Rory McIlroy started out playing as a kid! I was literally shaking looking at his Grand Slam Trophies, you must know how much that meant to me. Thank you for that experience that I certain no one else gets to see. This was a trip I was looking forward to for years, but it was so much better than I expected because of the planning and attention to details you made.
Sincerely, Bob and Jan Ritter
Good Morning Maurice
Before our recent trip becomes a great memory I wanted to let you know what a great time we had. You and and Joni and Billy combined to make this one of the best vacations we have had.
The itinerary, running through Ireland and Scotland gave us a view of the countries we could not have had any other way. We stopped at major attractions everyone should see as well as having time in small villages with their shops restaurants and pubs allowing us to experience both countries in a major way in the relatively short time a vacation covers. The driving was a lot, but gave all of us a wonderful glimpse of the Irish and Scottish countrysides
The accomodations were also first class. I know from scheduling my own travels over the years that the overnight lodgings can make or break a trip. You guys picked some of the best hotels we have ever been to. From the beautiful city hotels in Dublin and Edinburgh to the outstanding country inns,castles and lodges we stayed at, all were fabulous in their own way and first class as well The staff of each was kind and helpful, as were most of the people we met along our travels. Our personal favorite place, Sheen Falls Lodge was beautiful. I could have stayed there much longer!
I would also like to thank all of you for your planning and execution of a special stop in Belfast. Our friend Bob being a lifelong golfer was floored by what you were able plan for him to see while we were there!
We will be talking about this adventure with friends and family for many years to come and we will recommend your company to anyone considering a trip to that part of the world Thanks again for making our trip memorable. If we can, we will be back to visit again!

We wanted to travel Ireland with a more historical true Irish experience a bit personalized to our desires.
Planning the trip was made easier being able to describe to Maurice our basic wants and allowing him to plan
Our tour guide and driver was perfect for our small group of 4.
Billy listened to our wants, and adjusted our travels when necessary.
We saw so many places and experienced the true feel through and with Billy and to top things off we now have a friend in Ireland.
We would request Billy for return visits

Just home from a fantastic tour of Ireland and Scotland.
We chose a private tour and were very happy with that.
Everything was at a very relaxed pace and we felt like we were exploring.
Our driver was able to take us to local places we would never have found.
Meeting locals and spending time with them was the best part of the trip.
Our hotels were all well above the standard we expected.
Thank you to Ireland and Scotland Luxury Tours.
Bill and Janet
Just back from a great tour of Scotland.
We were treated to a unique experience and authentic tour.
The itinerary was perfect.
Austen looked after us every day and made sure we saw what we needed to but still gave us time to relax.
All the hotels were very good, except for a small issue with one of them. But Austen quickly remedied the problem.
A big thank you to Maurice for his planning and Austen for his driving. We certainly intend to use Ireland and Scotland Luxury Tours for a visit to Ireland in 2027.
I don’t normally engage in testimonials or reviews.
But I have to mention Ireland and Scotland Luxury Tours and the fantastic trip they provided for my family.
My wife and I took my elderly parents on a tour of Ireland as it was their lifetime dream.
We used Ireland and Scotland Luxury Tours as they were recommended by a work colleague.
It was a very good choice.
They gave us 10 days of pure joy.
Hotels, attractions, food, and especially our driver Billy were all above expectations.
That is why I am providing this testimonial!
