Fantastic time in Dublin and Edinburgh
Ireland
|
Oct 6 - Oct 14, 2026
We enjoyed all of our private tour guides:
Mydie in Dublin - she had a deep knowledge of Irish history and we had an informative two hour plus walk through Dublin. Chris in Edinburgh - he too was very informed on Scottish history and the city of Edinburgh. Our two hour plus walk through Edinburgh was fantastic.
Stuart for our day in St. Andrews - the day was fantastic and a bucket list item for us. Stuart was full of Scottish history as well - and was able to get us around St. Andrews to our desired stops with ease.
Our nine-day, eight night trip was everything we had hoped for and more. Aleksandra of Kimkim put together a great itinerary, working with us to ensure we'd see what we wanted plus added some great recommendations. All worked out well.
Hotel Reviews
Convenient location; tiny rooms
A fantastic hotel. Convenient to everything. The rooms are large. The Snug Bar is a fantastic place to hang at the end of the evening.
Activity Reviews
This is a good trip if you are interested in seeing the Scottish highlands. The boat tour on Loch Ness is only 45 minutes and perhaps not worth doing. We instead ate lunch in the village and walked around - enjoying seeing boats go through the locks.
Mydie was our guide and provided us a fantastic tour of Dublin. She shared the history of the city and the history of the Irish Republic, visiting many locations relevant to 1916 rebellion. I highly recommend this tour and Mydie.
Our tour guide was Chris. He was fantastic. We walked through all of Old Town, with Chris describing historic sites along the way. We highly recommend this tour and Chris.
This tour was tremendous. Our guide, Stuart, picked us up at our hotel and the fun began. He provided us an incredible amount of information about Scotland as we drove first to Falkland Village in the Kingdom of Fife - where the first episode of Outlander was filmed. We then made our way to St. Andrews where we walked the course (it was a Sunday - the course was closed for golfing but open to the public for walking). We spent the day touring the course and the town of St. Andrews. We highly recommend this tour and Stuart.
