Overall sights of tour were great as was our tour guide Aileen, who was also very good. Only issue we had some accommodation which was older and pretty tired - needs to be looked at. Thanks.

Ethan at Global Journeys was fantastic. Any questions we asked, he answered in a timely fashion, giving us ideas, suggestions and links of where to order and make plans. He was great to work with. Thanks so very much. It was a great trip that we thoroughly enjoyed. If you are ordering or making any plans, remember you are on military time in the read more UK. It can save you a lot of stress. 6 pm bus order is really 18:00. Thanks Ethan for all of your Pre-trip help creating a great adventure.

This was our 4th tour booked through Global Journeys, our second with Insight Vacations. The trip was fantastic, giving us a good sample of what Ireland and Scotland have to offer. The sights were fantastic, as were our Travel Director, driver and local guides. Together, Global Journeys and Insight Vacations made this an easy and memorable holiday. read more Would definitely book with them again.
All around Iceland with a solar eclipse as well
Iceland - Land of the Midnight Sun (Eclipse)
Barry and Glenis, Northland, New Zealand, Aug 2026
The landscape of Iceland is totally different from anywhere we have been before. There is a large ice shelf covering over 10% of the country with glaciers and rivers and waterfalls. A lot of the rest of the country is covered with volcanic lava leaving little land for agriculture. The waterfalls are beautiful and the icebergs in Glacier Bay spectacular. read more The solar eclipse we experienced was eerie as the sudden darkness enveloped us even with the cloud cover and no sight of the sun. An interesting place to visit but be prepared for expensive food and drinks.

Debra and John, VIC, Australia, Jul 2026
We had an excellent tour director and driver. We specifically chose this tour because we wanted to go to the Orkney Islands and Isle of Skye. We were unable to achieve this due to weather conditions for the Orkneys and motor bike accident that closed the road to the Isle of Skye and cut short our stay there. We were disappointed with Insight’s compensation read more for these cancellations, which was a trip to a historical cemetery, which was originally a paid optional extra, that we had chosen not to do. The cost of including the Orkneys and Isle of Skye was a reasonable as part of our tour cost. We were of the view a number of additional optional paid experiences did not represent good value for money, in particular the dinners, with the exception of the Torphichen dinner. Accomodation was 4 star with the exception of the highlands in Scotland which we rated as 2.5.

Enjoyed my time on this tour....considering the heat and some places lacking AC or fans for the rooms. Had the most amazing tour guide...Joe...and bus driver...Kamil. These 2 made the adventure a pleasant one. My trip highlight was 100% the week spent in Ireland...lovely people, lovely food, lovely environment, amazing Guiness and Baileys on ice!!!
