The Adventure People launches new Scottish and Irish tour collection
Share
The Adventure People is selling a new collection of train-based tours in Scotland and Ireland, to meet demand for adventures closer to home.
The ideal way to explore the history, culture and dramatic landscapes of the areas, small group tours are also more environmentally friendly and offer the chance to meet fellow like-minded travellers.
Chris Roche, CEO of The Adventure People said: “It’s our mission to get people out exploring the world, but this doesn’t necessarily mean a long-haul flight or being away from home for months on end. Many people are looking for adventurous experiences closer to home – whether that’s for environmental reasons, lack of time, or just the desire to explore what’s right on their doorstep.
“The scenery in Scotland and Ireland is incredible, and one of the best ways to see it is to sit back and have it all roll past on a rail journey. We’re excited to be offering this new collection of tours and to helping more people get out exploring these countries, and seeing all they have to offer.”
