Explore Scotland and Ireland through a packaged vacation.
Ireland is known for the lush green countryside, fine Irish whiskey and friendly natives. Scotland is famous as the home of golf and the Loch Ness Monster. Vacation trip packages provide a partially or fully contained method of experiencing these two countries. Plan out what you hope to see and do, and any other relevant components for your Ireland and Scotland vacation, and book the trip through a certified agency.
Instructions
1. Write down all the things you wish to do during your trip, and indicate your preferences for private or group tours. Determine if there is a demographic you wish to tour with. For example, if you want to travel with retirees, gay or lesbian travelers or golfers, there are packages that cater to these groups.
2. Contact a travel agent and present all the information. Tell the agent how many people are traveling, what dates you wish to go and your budget. For Ireland and Scotland, the warmest months are June, July and August. Fall brings rains and grey skies. Winter months see a combination of snow and rain depending on where in the country you go, so have the trip booked for your weather preferences.
3. Discuss whether the packages include airfare. If so, determine the departure city choices. If you live in Omaha and the package tours depart from Washington, D.C. or New York City, ask if there are discounted connecting flights from your home city.
4. Find out if the packages include meals, tips or any other amenities. For example, if your focus is golf, ask if the vacation package includes greens fees or club rentals.
5. Provide the travel agent with the credit card or payment method. Give any necessary travel documents like passports. If you decide to book online, enter in your payment options and make sure the website URL starts with "https," indicating it is a secure e-commerce site.
