Today you will explore Killarney National Park, the jewel of County Kerry. Begin at the stately Muckross House, where your guide will share stories of the estate’s remarkable history and the families who once lived here.

In the afternoon, enjoy an intimate visit to Muckross Creamery Farm. Start with a warm cup of tea in a traditional cottage before meeting your hosts, John and his wife, who come from generations of dairy farmers. Learn about both traditional methods and modern practices, meet the cows, and see the process behind their award-winning ice cream. Your visit concludes with a tasting in the family’s original 200-year-old farmhouse.

This morning you will bid farewell to Ireland as you fly to Scotland to begin the next chapter of your journey. Upon arrival, meet your private driver-guide and head north toward the Highlands. Depending on flight times, there may be an opportunity to stop at Stirling Castle, once the seat of Scotland’s kings and queens and a stronghold of the nation’s history.

Continue on to the village of Fort Augustus, set at the southern tip of the legendary Loch Ness, where tomorrow’s adventures await.

Today you’ll visit Urquhart Castle, a dramatic ruin perched on the banks of Loch Ness. Once one of Scotland’s largest castles, it has witnessed centuries of conflict and change, and today its crumbling walls frame sweeping views of the loch and surrounding hills.

After exploring the site, step aboard a boat for a scenic cruise on Loch Ness. From the water you’ll take in the full scale of the landscape: misty mountains, rugged shoreline, and, with luck, perhaps even a glimpse of the elusive Nessie.

Today you will venture into Glencoe, one of Scotland’s most dramatic and storied landscapes. Its soaring mountains and ridges have featured in numerous films, but nothing compares to standing in the valley yourself, surrounded by rugged peaks. With your guide, set out on a walk suited to your preferred pace, whether a gentle ramble or a more challenging hike.

As evening falls, unwind with a drink while a local storyteller shares Glencoe’s rich and often turbulent history: tales of clans, battles, and survival.

Say goodbye to the Highlands, leaving Loch Ness behind as you make your way south toward Edinburgh. En route, stop near the village of Pitlochry for a walk across the windswept Straloch moor, where a private bothy awaits with a luxury picnic. Warmth, comfort, and hearty fare combine in this unique setting, complete with the company of friendly labradors and grazing donkeys.

From the castle ramparts, learn about the famous One O’Clock Gun and hear stories that bring the city’s layered history to life.

After exploring the castle, descend beneath the streets for a private tour of preserved 17th-century alleyways hidden below the Royal Mile. In this atmospheric setting, your guide will share stories of the close’s former residents and the myths that have grown around them, offering an evocative glimpse into the city’s past.

Bid farewell to Scotland as a private transfer takes you to the airport for your flight to Bristol. On arrival, meet your new guide and journey into the Cotswolds, where rolling hills and storybook villages await.

Your destination is Broadway, a charming village lined with independent shops and honey-colored cottages. Depending on your arrival time, there may be an opportunity to visit Broadway Tower for a private tour of its Cold War–era nuclear bunker.

Today you will enjoy a full day discovering the charm of the Cotswolds. Begin in Broadway, with its lovely stone buildings and quaint streets, before continuing to Stow-on-the-Wold, a historic market town renowned for its antique shops.

From there, explore the idyllic villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter, linked by a gentle riverside walk through some of the region’s most tranquil scenery. Conclude the day in Bourton-on-the-Water, often called the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” where graceful stone bridges cross the River Windrush and create one of the most photographed settings in the region.

Depart the Cotswolds and make your way to Oxford, the famed “City of Dreaming Spires.” With a local expert guide, stroll through cobbled streets lined with cafés and bookshops, and visit some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Bodleian Library, the Radcliffe Camera, and Christ Church College. As you wander through atmospheric courtyards and historic halls, hear stories of Oxford’s illustrious alumni, from groundbreaking scientists to world-renowned writers.

Later, a private transfer will take you into the heart of London, where you will check in to your final hotel and prepare for the last chapter of your trip.
