To Our Valued Travel Agents, Friends and
Customers...
Since 1972 we have been providing our customers with
excellent travel experiences to Ireland and the United
Kingdom. I would like to personally thank all that have
booked with Celtic Tours World Vacations for almost 44
years!
Ireland
We pride ourselves, not only on bringing you excellent
tours to Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales with new and
exciting itineraries, but also on the unsurpassed service and
support we provide our customers.
You will always find a friendly human voice on the other end
of the line when you call Celtic Tours World Vacations. We
don’t welcome you with automation, but personally answer
every call that comes into our office during business hours,
making sure you do not have to navigate through a phone
queue and you are taken care of straight away.
Most customers repeat with Celtic due to the high standard
of service we offer and for the variety of destinations that we
service, including Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Italy,
Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland and more.
You can take advantage of early bird promotional discounts
and save more when you travel to multiple destinations. Visit
our website and contact your travel agent to sign up for sales
and touring information.
What other travelers are saying!
• “I want to THANK you so very much for organizing the trip of a lifetime. My entire family is now in love with Ireland. All of your tour stops you suggested were great!”
P.C., Arizona
•
Save more on family vacations and travel as a group by
private motorcoach or join one of our popular tours from our
brochure.
Your first stop should be your Professional Travel Agent for
the best service and advice when it comes to your travel
planning. We will work with your travel professional to bring
you your dream vacation! Celtic Tours would be happy to
give you a list of qualified travel agents in your area.
Your dream of international travel will be brought to reality
by selecting a travel professional who will be able to offer
first hand knowledge regarding the destination you will be
visiting. They know the travel landscape and will be able to
support you should you have concerns or difficulties. They
are a phone call away, in comparison to some online booking
services, which will not answer your questions or assist you
once the sale is made.
The nation’s most reliable tour operators belong to the
United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA). All
members are required to post a minimum $1 million dollar
bond, which is supervised outside of the tour operator’s
control.
Celtic Tours also offers you peace of mind with a 24/7
emergency contact for your clients, so a Celtic Tours
representative is always a phone call away.
“I want to thank Celtic Tours for the
wonderful opportunity of visiting Ireland...
There is nothing like first hand knowledge. I
am excited to be able to offer this quality and
value to my clients”
T.M., Travel Agent, Oregon
•

“I cannot begin to express what a wonderful
trip to Northern Ireland this was. Everything

Sojourn] went above and beyond to make this
a trip of a lifetime.”

•
“In a word: fabulous. Everyone in your office
were kind and helpful and our driver was
simply the best. We can’t thank you enough.”
C.P., Indiana
•
“I am thankful to know Celtic Tours offers a
24/7 contact number for me and my clients in
case of any emergency.”
L.P., New York
Please take advantage of family discounts, specials and more
offered here and on our website, with a visit to our website
at www.celtictours.com or visit us on Facebook for up-todate sales and promotions! All available through your local
travel agent.
We look forward to offering you a warm welcome on your
Celtic Tours World Vacation. Remember to have your travel
agent request availability of dates from Celtic Tours, as some
tours sell out very fast.
Have a wonderful holiday! Please contact me with your
comments on your return.
Sincerely,
Noel F. Murphy
President

Stornoway. Leaving Edinburgh at 8:30 am, we
travel north from Edinburgh into the Highlands,
stopping in the historic village of Dunkeld before
travelling through the Grampian Mountains. After
lunch [on your own] in the Cairngorm National
Park the tour continues passing Inverness,
Capital of the Highlands to the impressive
waterfalls of Corrieshalloch Gorge. Here we
will make a stop before arriving in Ullapool for
the late afternoon ferry and the start of your
Hebridean Island Hopping Adventure! The ferry
passes the Summer Isles before crossing the
Minch to arrive in Stornoway, Capital of the Outer
Hebrides where you will spend the next 2 nights.
Day 03: Touring - Lewis. Our first full day in
the Outer Hebrides will be spent exploring the
highlights of Lewis starting with the world famous
Callanish stone circles. Nearby is Dun Carloway,
a fascinating Iron Age broch (stone tower). We
continue and travel through traditional crofting
communities and get a chance to visit traditional
croft houses at Gearrannan Black House village.
From here you will make the final stage of
the journey from “Barra to Butt” arriving at
the lighthouse at the Butt of Lewis, the most
northerly point of this amazing journey. After a
cliff top walk here we will return to Stornoway for
the night again.
Day 04: Touring - Harris. We spend an
enjoyable day exploring Harris, still part of
the same island as Lewis but scenically very
different. As we drive through central Harris we
will pass Clisham the highest mountain in the
Outer Hebrides where if we are very lucky we
might see a golden eagle. Close to here are the
incredible white sand beaches at Luskentyre
which we will, of course have time to explore.
After lunch [on your own] we will visit the
historic church at Rodel and then it’s time for
another island! Crossing the Sound of Harris in
early evening we will arrive on North Uist and
Lochmaddy, our base for the next 2 nights.
Day 05: Touring - Island Discovery. Today
is a flexible day discovering the islands of North
and South Uist and Benbecula. From the long
sandy beaches and machair of the west coast
to the wild and
remote hills
of the east and the thousands of freshwater
lochs dotting the landscape this is a dramatic
and unspoiled place. There are a number of
prehistoric standing stones and burial mounds
on the islands as well as local folk museums
and art galleries. There will be the opportunity
to taste the local peat smoked salmon, highly
recommended for its unique flavor. Our guide will
decide on the best combination of things to see
and do today depending on the weather and the
interests of the group.
Day 06: Touring - Southern Island
Discovery. Today will be spent exploring the
southern end of the island chain, first South Uist,
then Eriskay (famous as the place where the ship
SS Politician ran aground with a cargo of whisky.
The story was immortalized in the book and film
“Whisky Galore” and it is rumored that there
are still some bottles of whisky hidden on the
island!). After yet another ferry we finally reach
the friendly little island of Barra, the “full stop”
at the end of the Outer Hebrides, with its strong
Gaelic culture, impressive Kisimul Castle, crofting
landscapes and beautiful scenery. We may be
lucky to see a plane land on the beach at the
only commercial tidal airport in the world! The
last night of the tour will be spent in Castlebay
on Barra.
Day 07: Touring - Edinburgh. This morning
we say goodbye to the Hebrides as we sail past
Kisimul Castle on the ferry back to the mainland
and the harbour town of Oban. The journey
across the Minch and then through the sound
of Mull is a beautiful cruise. During the 5 hour
crossing look out for dolphins and whales as well
as countless seabirds. From Oban the route takes
us past the impressive ruins of Kilchurn Castle,
sitting proudly at the head of Loch Awe before
traveling through the West Highlands to arrive
back in Edinburgh about 7:30 pm, after six days
of some of the most wonderful scenery and travel
experiences in the world. Make your own way

columns with its waterfall cascading over the
cliffs and down into the sea below. After lunch

westerly point on Skye. Alternatively a visit to

stronghold Eilean Donan Castle, used in the

protection against Viking raiders. Continuing east
through the rugged mountains of Kintail including
the splendor of the Five Sisters, we drive

Scotland’s famous university town and center
of golfing history. Continue north via Dundee on

the Royal Highland Games take place each year,
attended by the Royal Family. Overnight in the

the family holiday home of the Royal Family for
over a century. Returning back to your hotel in
the Royal Deeside/Gairloch area for overnight.

Deeside/Gairloch area and travel through
the Spey Valley, with its many famous Malt
whisky distilleries, such as Cardhu, Glenlivet,
Glenfiddich and Tamdhu, to name only a few.

famous for its golf course and beautiful
sandy beaches, to Inverness. Heading further

the beautiful high sand dunes. On a clear day
you will be able to look over to the Isle of Skye.

behind at the sign posted parking spot and
walk the last 3 miles to the lighthouse. There
is a small visitor centre and the option to
look over the Atlantic from the viewing area.
Overnight in the Gairloch/Wester Ross area.
Tour Tip: The seafood platter at the Old Inn
in Gairloch is excellent and comes straight
off the ships from the harbor!
Day 06: Suggested Touring. Departing
Gairloch/Wester Ross, travel through some
spectacular scenery this morning. You head
back to Loch Maree and turn onto the A896
to Torridon and Shieldaig. Traveling along
the A896 there is a turnoff to Appelcross, a
beautiful little highland village worth visiting.
Be careful though, the single track road
leading there is not for the faint hearted.
Continue to Loch Carron and to Dornie. Here
visit Eilean Donan Castle which has been
made famous by the film ‘the Highlander’.
Continue on to Fort William, which lies
in the shadow of Ben Nevis. If you travel

William today, follow the A828 which takes
a winding route through beautiful coastal
scenery. At Connel turn off to travel over
the Pass of Brander. At the north side of

the A82, Scotland’s largest and probably
most beautiful loch. Make a stop at the
conservation village of Luss. Overnight in the
Stirling area.
