Isle of Man Viking & Celtic Driver Guided Heritage Tour Full Day
Overview
The term “Viking” captures our imagination – warriors wielding swords with horned helmets as they set sail on longboat voyages. Among those destinations was the Isle of Man, where Celtic Christianity was already well established. Discover the island’s early Christian heritage, visiting an early monastastic site with its ruined Keeills. Uncover the lesser-known story of these mysterious Norsemen, as they encountered Celtic Christians and made the Isle of Man their home. Louise is an experienced Blue Badge Guide who offers a personalised adventure driving you to iconic landmarks and lesser known gems that are inaccessible by public transport.
Every tour can be tailored to suit your pace, preferences, and individual needs including visiting places that are wheelchair accessible if required, so don’t hesitate to get in touch and discuss your specific needs with us.
Tour timings allow for travel between points of interest, refreshments stops and opportunities to purchase souvenirs.
