Take a “test drive” of Rick Steves’ 2010 Ireland and Scotland tours with Pat O’Connor (co-author of Rick Steves’ Ireland guidebook) as your guide. On the Ireland tour, you’ll kick off with the best of Dublin, followed by Ireland’s most compelling historical sites, charming towns and seaside getaways — including Kinsale, the Dingle Peninsula, Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Galway, Connemara, Giant’s Causeway, Old Bushmills Distillery, and the changing city of Belfast. On the Scotland tour, you’ll be immersed in the rich culture and history of Scotland. You’ll visit windswept St. Andrews, a Pitlochry distillery, Inverness in the Highlands, Lochs Ness, Garry and Lomond, the Isle of Skye, dramatic Glencoe and Bannockburn, seaside Oban, and the craggy castles of Edinburgh, Scone, Cawdor, Urquhart, and Eilean Donan.
