Discover the real Isle of Man

Join us for a special tour of the Isle of Man and discover the unique history and culture of the little Island in the middle of the Irish Sea.

Situated between the coastlines of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, in the middle of the Irish Sea, you’ll find our beautiful Island.

Blessed with an extensive coastline, stunning natural landscapes and the cleanest beaches in Europe, the Isle of Man is within easy reach of the rest of the British Isles.

The Isle of Man has a 10,000-year history with a Celtic and Viking past, which is explored in our 3-night tour. You will visit castles, see the ancient Viking crosses and burial grounds and learn about the oldest continuous parliament in the world.
