Testimonials

This was not our 1st experience with Celtic Dream Tours and Fiona Prosser. We had a great experience with her on the Highlands and Islands Tour of Scotland in 2008. So, it was a no brainer when she offered a tour of Ireland. The 1st day of the tour Fiona took us out of Dublin and over the mountains of the Irish inland. We saw great scenery, had many opportunities to stop and take pictures along the way and stopped at our 1st set of ruins. Fiona has a knack for finding out of the way and interesting places to visit. We were able to join a larger group for a guided tour of the site but the tour guide spent some private time with us giving us much more background than the standard spiel. When tours are not available, we found that Fiona was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of the sites we visited. We enjoyed 12 days of Irish history and modern experiences and were treated like royalty throughout the trip.

A tour with Celtic Dream Tours will give you the opportunity to experience the real country and not just visit the major tourist attractions and see only what they want you to see. On this tour with Fiona, we even had the opportunity to share a lunch with an Irish family, in their home and tour their organic farm. This is something that could never happen on a large tour bus. We also had the opportunity to sleep in castles, visit local pubs, and see ancient ruins that were on roads too small for a large bus to travel. Of course, if you really have your heart set on seeing some of the major tourist attractions, Fiona will do her best to accommodate you. However, I can guarantee that you will learn much more about the real Ireland by going with Celtic Dream Tours and Fiona.

I doubt very seriously if this will be our last tour with Celtic Dream Tours.

We had a lovely, enjoyable trip to Scotland. I now understand why "The Father of Geology" was from Scotland. It was such an enlightening experience to understand all the different tectonic processes at work in Scotland. We loved staying in all the charmingly elegant historical hotels. We espeically appreciated the professional guides at Orkney and Colladen who added a dimension of depth to help our understanding of archaeology and history. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy the ever changing scenic view rather than worrying about finding the directions and knowing road etiquette on single lane roads. Thank you for your flexibility. We are recommending you to our friends.

We had a once in a life time experience on our “Highlands and Islands” tour with Celtic Drea m tours. Fiona was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. She went out of her way to meet the individual needs of everyone on the tour. She adeptly adjusted her schedule even when our airline delivered us 200 miles from Glasgow and a day late. Fiona showed us parts of Scotland that we never would have had an opportunity to see on a larger tour. She also helped us find the addresses where my wife’s great grandparents had lived in Elgin before migrating to the United States. We never felt like we missed a photo opportunity or rushed through any exhibit to meet a schedule. We highly recommend Celtic Dream Tours to get a feel for the “real” Scotland.

Thank you so much for everything you did for us!!! We had an absolutely FANTASTIC time!!!!! The places you chose were wonderful!!!!! Again, thanks so much. Hopefully, we'll be heading back next year for our Anniversary so we'll have to get back with you then!

In 2003, I decided to travel to Scotland. I was put in contact with Celtic Dream Tours, and its owner Fiona Prosser. At first, I was worried about the tour. I didn’t know what to expect. Fiona made everybody feel like a guest to that beautiful country and not like a tourist. I later discovered that she was born and raised in Scotland, and during the tour she was able to give interesting information about different places and events that is not found in the tour guides. Would I use Celtic Dream Tours again? Yes, in a heartbeat. In fact, I am going on another tour this year with Fiona and her company. It will be a Masonic tour. The agenda will be to go to different places associated with Masonic origins. I am sure that with the help of her experts, I can learn more about the beginning of Masonry. I also plan to use her for other events in the future. I cannot say enough about Fiona Prosser and Celtic Dream Tours. I truly enjoyed my time in Scotland, all because of Fiona and her great tours.

I love all the castles, palaces and abbeys. The group was so much fun and I have made some great friends. Thanks!

Dear Fiona,
Thanks so much for your wonderful guidance through Scotland! Scott and I and our families had such a fabulous time!! We loved all of the wonderful castles and I especially loved staying at Culloden House. It was gorgeous! It was so nice to take a vacation and not worry about where we were staying or how to get there. We loved every minute of it and can’t wait to take another tour! Thanks again. You’re the best!

To tell you that I was glad I went on every tour I did with Celtic Dream Tours would only be an understatement. I have been a participant on five tours since 2002. I adored the charismatic places we stayed (from Manor Homes to superior Inns and exquisite Hotels), I appreciated the not having to get up and be on the coach at the crack of dawn with 40 other tired tourists, and I could not believe the foot I ate, or the generous LOCALS I met. The scenery of the out of the way course unreachable by those large tour company buses (to be fair they do their best moving a great number of individuals and their every burgeoning suitcases). What I found even more appealing was not having to be nickeled and dimed for the “optional tours” that are constantly “offered” by the large tour companies; with Celtic Dream Tours, everything is already included. And Fiona, who accompanies the tours, has the wide-eyed, laid back eagerness of a person born in and besotted of a country who makes the tour special … I was so impressed by what I experienced on a tour with the Campbell Clan, I am planning to do even more tours in the future!

Thanks for the great time we had, our chauffeur was wonderful, our hotels were great, anyone who says you don’t need nice hotels as you don’t spend much time in them, misses out a lot when they go to Scotland if they don’t stay in nice historical places… it so adds to the ambiance and atmosphere! Thanks for making our trip amazing and hopefully not a once in a lifetime trip! We can’t wait to go back!
