Celtic Scenes Tours
Our Services
We provide all the planning and coordination for your perfect tour to Ireland so that you can have a stress free, relaxing vacation. We offer many options and price ranges for your trip to Ireland.
What makes us different from big tour companies?
We offer more personalized, off the beaten path tours. We don’t choose hotels and places to visit based on contracts or kickbacks. We choose places based on quality, location and desired price point.
Specialty Tours
Would you like to do a golf centered tour? Or perhaps hiking, cycling, fishing, genealogy, literature, or ancient Ireland? Just let us know what you’d like to do, and we will plan with that in mind.
Arrive and Enjoy Tours
Join one of our planned tours. We choose hotels that are 4 stars and up based on amenities and location. Each tour we try to visit a different area so we don’t repeat attractions for our repeat customers. Included in pricing is the round trip airfare, transportation throughout the tour, all hotels, all attractions, breakfast each day except for day of arrival and departure, welcome and farewell group dinners. Each tour we throw in something special for that tour. Past special experiences have
included medieval banquet, private music performances, and lunch in a castle.
Private Tours
You let us know when and where you’d like to go and how many people you expect to travel with you. We suggest an itinerary based on your choices and price point, and work with you to be sure it’s the trip of a lifetime for you. We won’t book anything without your approval. Unlike other tour companies, we will follow your itinerary and not substitute hotels or attractions. How much will a private tour cost? We will work within your budget. Pricing depends on time of year, mode of transportation in Ireland, and accommodation type. Summer months are more expensive in general. Accommodation ranges from basic B&Bs and hotels all the way up to five star hotels and castles. Transportation costs range from a small rental car, custom small buses or vans up to full size coaches. When the group is 6 passengers or larger, we are able to use our tour operator group discounts for your bookings. When is the money due? Airlines, hotels and some attractions require non-refundable deposits, so we ask for a non-refundable deposit* to finalize all arrangements. After the deposit, the rest of the tour price is divided into even monthly payments, with the final due date being 40 days prior to the start of the tour. We meet you at the airport to welcome you and assure your trip goes smoothly, you just show up at the airport and relax. **
