Some hiccups, but still a great trip! This was our second trip to Scotland with Sheenco, and we were able to tailor some visits since we had already been. We also learned lessons about using hotels and cities as hubs instead of traveling each day. That said, we had problems with a couple of hotels, both from our end (not being focused enough on the details) and on Sheenco's end of not ensuring appropriate rooms ahead of time. In two places, we had to contact Sheenco to see about different rooms, especially in one city where the initial "Deluxe" room faced the hotel's garbage bins. The final hotel was also under a major renovation that would have been nice to know beforehand. The work did not adversely impact our stay, but from a customer service perspective, it would have been nice to know ahead of our arrival. A customer service tip for future reference.... Even with these hiccups, Sheenco provided great recommendations for visits and tours and was very helpful in securing reservations prior to arrival. We saw some amazing sites, including my ancestors' clan seat--Castle Fraser--as well the Kelpies, a personal favorite. If you have not visited Scotland before, it should be on your bucket list, and Sheenco can help you make the best of your trip. Since we have toured Scotland twice and Sheenco now offers similar help for Ireland, that is our next destination. Looking forward to it!

Colin was very helpful in designing a luxury vacation. The tour itinerary and accommodations were designed especially for us. Even though we were unable to take advantage of this tour this time we would recommend Sheenco Travel.

Wonderful experience. We did a 10 day escorted tour. Everything went smoothly for the most part. We booked well in advance and there was a time with a bit of a lull in communications but no actual problem. Every accommodation booked was wonderful and there were no issues with reservations. We were two families with a bus and driver. The driver was absolutely and utterly fantastic. He made the trip a memorable experience. My kids loved him and his accent both. They spent the next year saying "I tink so" and "good craic" in faux Irish accents. Ashford Castle in particular is a die and gone to heaven place. Best hotel in the world in my opinion.

I had a wonderful Castle Tour with Sheenco Travel. I wish we had had more time at some places but overall with the amount of places we saw it was fantastic. You haven't lived until you stayed at Ashford Castle. I then got a private driver for a few days down to Kerry and he was a delight. He even took me a different way than the normal drive because he was from the area. Would recommend them to others.

We had a great Ireland vacation. The arrangements were easy and well done. We tweaked the itinerary during the trip, at the suggestion of our driver. The one we had was too packed, it was a great suggestion. Our driver was very good and patient as we had my 84 year old father with us. He was great with him, and even went above and beyond helping us find our family roots. We stayed at very nice modern hotels, that made traveling with a senior easy and comfortable. The falconry at the Castle in Cong was an unexpected treat, just a great way to spend the afternoon, this was also at the suggestion of our driver.
