Ireland | A Taste of the Wild Atlantic Way

Celtic Routes was terrific to work with and took care of everything including the accommodations and even dinner reservations. They delivered the car to us after leaving Dublin and the tablet was preloaded with the itinerary, directions, and ideas for things to do everyday. The car was a Land Rover Defender which was really fun to drive and they provided all the needed items for picnics including tea, water and snacks. We stayed in places we would have never found on our own and all were very unique. The drop-off of the car was at a Dublin airport hotel and Graham the owner met us and then drove us to the airport for our flight to our next destination. I would highly recommend Celtic Routes.

Our adventures in the Highlands and Isle of Skye in Scotland was very relaxing and stress-free thanks to the team at Celtic Routes. Their desire to create a memorable holiday experience for us was apparent throughout. From our initial consultation with Hazel and ongoing contact with KariAnn and Alison to “fine-tune” our arrangements, we felt nothing was being left to chance. The hotel choices were superb, the travel routes and itineraries were designed with our interests in mind but offered alternative options for “free-wheeling” if we wished, and we always felt welcome to reach out with any issues or concerns – of which there were none. Of course, the Land Rover Defender added an additional level of comfort and peace of mind to our adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed the planning, anticipation and travel experience crafted by Celtic Routes and are already planning our next adventure with them.

We were very impressed with Celtic Routes, from the beginning to the end. At the start, they listened to the kind of trip we wanted, the kind of lodging, and the kind of activities. The Mini Cooper was perfect for the narrow roads. The lodging was excellent, great locations and friendly staff. The sights and short hikes were exactly what we were looking for. The communication with CR was wonderful from start to finish. We highly recommend this company to help organize a trip.

Scotland | Scottish Highlands & Skye

In August 2024, we were captivated by the most beautifully designed tour of Scotland. Celtic Routes (Alexia and Graham) listened carefully to our hopes and fulfilled our dreams. Each day unfolded with drives through other-worldly geography; stops at “walks” (read “hikes!”) to waterfalls and historic spots; and some of the best food we have ever had on vacation. Each night was spent in a bed and breakfast/hotel as cozy and comfy as the last. We asked to participate in a mixture of typical tourist spots and lesser known. The balance was perfect. We loved this trip so much that we are working with Alexia and Graham again…this time in Yorkshire. However, we would return to Scotland with Celtic Routes in a heartbeat! We had so many highlights (from the food to the accommodations; from the routes to the app that added additional information; and from the tourist must-dos to the special spots identified by Alexia and Graham) that we do not want to single out any one or two places, people, or events.

“The trip was very carefully thought out and executed flawlessly. Every touch point we discussed in the pre-trip interview was accomplished along the way during our trip. The level of planning in preparation on the part of Celtic Routes made for a very carefree and relaxing trip from beginning to end. There were no hiccups or miscues anywhere along the trip. The car was great, the accommodations were uniformly, exceptional with quite a variety in the styles of the accommodations, which made for a wonderful surprise each night when we got to a new stop. The routes suggested to us could not have been more perfectly aligned with what we were hoping to see and do while on our trip I will book with you again and I will unequivocally recommend you to anyone getting within 1000 miles of the UK. Great product, and great staff; class organization!”

If you are looking for a self-guided Land Rover excursion in the UK then look no further. Graham and Alexia customised for us just exactly what we were after. The routes we travelled, our accommodation, the restaurant suggestions and the sightseeing opportunities they provided us with and of course the vehicles were top notch. Their response to emails if we had questions seemed to be immediate leaving us feeling confident the entire trip. We will not hesitate to rebook with Celtic Routes Land Rover Tours for our next UK excursion.

From the first moment we received good service and attention. Graham and his team put together the itinerary to our requirements and dreams, excellent hotels with good luxury and service. The Defender (the car) is almost new, impeccably clean. The accessories with it, the necessary ones, but the most important thing was the itinerary they made for us, the recommended sites and the ideas they gave us. It has been an unforgettable trip that we do not hesitate to repeat next year. Scotland is at least 10 times more beautiful and impressive than we imagine! Photos and videos only show part of it, but not its wonderful people and the magnificence of nature.

Traveling with Celtic Routes was a fantastic experience! Everything from the first contact, to the preparations and the travel itself, was very well taken care of. Great locations. Great car. Great app. Great activities. And Scotland did the rest! Thanks Graham and team.

“Our trip was wonderful and truly memorable. We are so happy we went, and I am especially grateful for your planning. Every location offered attentive and kind service, which we appreciated after long days of driving. It was full of adventure and beauty. We definitely preferred the quieter spots where we could spend time with locals rather than other tourists. While Skye was a bit busy for our taste, the turntable ferry on the way out was a highlight. The Meikleour Arms was our absolute favorite hotel.”
