Rising Road Tours

At Rising Road Tours, we specialize in creating escorted tours that meet your particular desires for accommodation types (castles, great houses, hotels, B&Bs) and visits to sites of your choosing.

Our tours are meant to be intimate, friendly, relaxing cultural adventures. As a result, we stay in rural farmhouse bed and breakfast accommodations in the Irish and Scottish countrysides. Here you have the opportunity to get to know the local people as they go about their daily activities.

Custom and Special Interest Tours are a great way to travel for families, groups of friends, and students of all ages.

Our experienced guide, Sam Couch, can arrange a custom tour focusing on Irish music, culture, traditional crafts, history, archaeology, language, sacred sites or any subject that interests you. With his extensive knowledge of Ireland, Sam will add just the right personal touch to designing and leading the custom escorted tour of your choice.
