Travel Style: Guided

A Guided Vacation takes away the stress of planning and ignites the wonder of travel. We manage all your accommodations, transportation and activities and your Travel Director will be on hand throughout your trip armed with fascinating insights to the destinations you visit. This is carefree travel that connects you with Celtic culture at every turn.

WHAT IS A TRAVEL DIRECTOR?

A Travel Director wears many hats... Among other things we are planners, greeters, leaders, entertainers, teachers, historians, geologists, archaeologists, speakers, listeners and comedians... well, maybe sometimes!

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT BEING A TRAVEL DIRECTOR?

The joy in being a Travel Director is proudly showing off our corner of the world to our guests. Our role is to interpret the places we visit and the landscapes in between. We love to share the who, why, where and when behind every place we go and add a local twist for good measure. Our little island has so much to tell, and boy do we love to tell it all!

WHY SHOULD GUESTS 'GO GUIDED'?

There are so many benefits in choosing a guided Brendan Vacation. Each day brings something special. From seeing iconic highlights to meeting colorful local characters ready to share their stories, every day is unique. Often, we can seek out that little something extra to enhance our guests' travel experience. Visiting temporary exhibitions or local events, taking a little more time at a destination or taking a detour to taste popular local food. These little details are the things that make the guided experience second-to-none.

Family Fun

Meet a leprechaun whisperer, try archery or see skilled sheepdogs in action. Families of every age will create lasting shared memories.
