Our tour was one of the best we have ever had. George was early to the meeting point and was dressed fully Scottish (kilt), which started the day on a definite high. He was the perfect host stopping at and pointing out great photo ops, often going off the regular route to show us highlights such as taking us Canadians to a little known Canadian Memorial in the middle of the highlands, definitely not on the tour Itinerary. George was very knowledgable and took time to make sure all our questions were answered and additionally gave us time to explore on our own. My wife and I would wholeheartedly recommend George to any and all travellers to the Highlands. We left with a great appreciation for the area and the people. Thank you George and the Highlands along with the people, the history, the whiskey, the good, and the animals especially the Highland cattle. Thank You
Thank you so much , I try my best to keep all my Clients happy , I am so pleased you and your wife had a great day
My husband and I very much enjoyed our tour with George as our kilted guide! He provided interesting and informative commentary as we drove through the Scottish countryside to the most stunning castle and incredible gardens and falconry show. We had spectacular weather and plenty of time to explore at the castle stop! George also stopped at Royal Dornoch golf course to pick up a score card for my niece. She was thrilled! Balblair distillery wasn’t available so we changed to Glenmorangie which was a great experience. He was always checking to see if we needed the restrooms and was aware of their locations along the route. We can’t recommend this tour enough. One of the best tours we did on our 38 day trip to the British isles.
Thank you so much for your very nice review , At the end of the day i was only doing my job ,, Looking after you guys the best i can So happy you both enjoyed your day ,,
This was an 7-8 hour full day tour and George, our driver from the Mackintosh clan was excellent. He talks about each neighborhood giving a full description and tons of pointers. The Dunrobin Castle is a fabulous tour and we all truly enjoyed it, including my 3 year old granddaughter! My daughters said this was the best day ever.

Fantastic tour!! We really had a wonderful time. Very detailed history, good laughs, and tailored experience.
Thank you for your very kind words ,, Safe travels as you go
Hands down, one of the best tours we have taken in Scotland! Our guide was a wealth of information and tailor made everything to exactly what we wanted— more or less time at the various sites. As we were off the cruise ship he was also very cognizant of our all-aboard time and got us back to the ship with time to spare! Highly recommend this to one and all! A great tour! And George was the best guide as well— if you get a chance take his tour!!!
