Sounds from the British Isles

Jorge, a passionate traveler who’s been on five Collette tours, found himself swept up in the rich musical traditions of the UK. When asked if this was a good destination for music lovers, he responded with, “Oh, yes, absolutely. The United Kingdom is a great place if you love music.” He adds, “You walk into these different pubs and you hear local people simply get together. They're not necessarily a band, they're not even being paid, but they come together, and they all know the music…”

Whether it’s folk songs in an Irish pub or the soulful sounds of a Scottish fiddle, the British Isles come alive with music that’s as much a part of the culture as the landscapes themselves.

A Mix of Local Activities

“There was a perfect mix of city-type touring and experiencing the natural wonders of the country. But what was equally enjoyable was having the opportunity to meet with locals and get a taste of their world as well,” said Collette traveler Martha S. after returning from her trip to Ireland.

Whether it’s getting to know the streets of Dublin or meeting locals like the Lowry family in Northern Ireland, Collette creates experiences for the culturally curious that go beyond the must-sees.

I feel we got to see a diverse mixture of life, architecture, and culture.”
