Celtica Tours New Site!

Posted on July 9, 2010 by admin

Welcome to Celtica Music & Tours! We’ve modified our site (which was first designed in 1994!) to make it easier for you to communicate with us and other members of the Celtica Tours community. By using a “blog” architecture, you can opt to have notices about new tours come straight to your email or RSS feeder by using the RSS feature at the bottom of the right-side menu. You can also email Robbie O’Connell directly by filling out the form on the Contact page. As we work on the features of this site, we hope we can create a space for our passengers to share their experiences and photographs.

In the meantime, stay tuned for the new 2011 Celtica Tour… rumor has it that we “might” be going to Scotland!
