Travel through Ireland and Scotland in a Small Group, following a trail of incredible views and quiet moments. In Dublin, Trinity College’s cobbles lead you to the Book of Kells, while in Kildare the Irish National Stud and its Japanese Gardens blend stillness, color and careful design. At Blarney, you can choose between the climb to the famous Stone or a slower wander with the estate gardener. In Londonderry, the old city walls set the rhythm of a walk rich with local insight. Scotland adds gentle tradition - with high tea at Ardgowan Estate and a sustainable whisky tasting at Uile-bheist, where the Highlands’ flavors and folklore come alive for the ultimate finale.
