Höglandssjöar, Glens och slott Liten grupptur från Edinburgh

We had a fantastic tour with Sandy to see the highlands! The mini bus was extremely comfortable and he provided interesting commentary and stories at points throughout our ride. We had short stops for photos at several points (including hairy coos) throughout the tour. We had time to explore Doune Castle on our own. Make note of the tour's recommendation to book a visit ahead of time if you want to go inside. We booked for 10am as noted and arrived a bit early, and the staff would not let us enter until 9:55am because it was busy. They were allowing limited people to purchase tickets there so it's worth booking ahead to be safe if you want to go inside. They provide an audio tour with admission. We had time on our own in Inveraray to have lunch and explore. After eating lunch, we did not have enough time to go inside the Inveraray Castle. It is about 15 minutes to walk up to the castle from the town, so we just walked around outside. We had time on our own again in Luss to go for a short walk to explore the town. It was a long day, but definitely worth it to see sights outside of Edinburgh.

What a day! Dougie was a wonderful, funny, and knowledgeable guide. He made the long day a joy while we learned a great deal about these attractions and Scottish culture. And we loved the Scottish coos!! Thank you Dougie!

This was a disaster. From 8:30 to 6:30 on a bus driven by a local who talk incessantly and consistently about murder, robbery and shameful acts in the history of Scotland not the historical record of the country to be proud of. Then when he got hoarse he became a dj playing music no one wanted to hear. Across 30 years and 98 countries, all the river tours in Europe and 48 transatlantic trips,6 transpacific trips and 2around the world journeys this was by far the worse day, worse guide and worst itinerary we have had to endure. Boycott it or pay the price. 2 crumbling castles, one small town with nothing to see. 3 bridges and sterling castle from the road. What a joke. Outright theft and deception by the promoter. Shameful and shameless promotion by money grabbers taking advantage of paper laying still while written on!

We did the 3 day tour of the Highlands and Isle of Skye and had the most incredible time. The places we went to absolutely took our breath away - the beauty of Scotland is hard to put into words. Being on a tour also made it very convenient since most of the places we went to were very busy with tourists and parking was difficult - so we were very grateful we didn't have to deal with that or driving on the windy roads! The van is very comfortable with large windows for getting a great view during the drives. Our guide Gary was amazing! He told the most wonderful stories of myths and legends, was very knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and just went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. We have 2 daughters (8 and 11) and he made it extra special for them with the endless supply of cookies and dressing up as "Gary Potter". I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone looking to visit Scotland!

The drive was enjoyable, our guide was knowledgeable and fun.

Great experience and Stuart was amazing! Castles were the highlight of the trip for us. The views of the Lochs were beautiful also.

Stuart was an excellent and safe driver. Very personable and knowledgeable. The small bus was comfortable and in good condition. And the Highlands were amazing. Very glad we took this tour.

A lovely experience. The tour was well organized and the van was very comfortable. I especially loved that we were a smaller group. The destination were beautiful, especially Inverary. We had 'wee' Stevie as our guide and couldn't have asked for a better one. He was knowledgeable about the area, extremely kind to our kids and the other passengers. His natural flair for story telling combined with his knowledge made the trip absolutely wonderful.

Ron was absolutely incredible as a tour guide, amazing storytelling and so knowledgeable about Scotland history. Plan to return with family next year and book again!

We had Kyle as our guide not once, but twice on two different day tours (completely by coincidence!), and he was just as entertaining, knowledgeable, and engaging the second time around. The scenery throughout the tours was absolutely stunning, and Kyle always seemed to know the best hidden viewpoints and photo stops that you wouldn’t find on your own. His stories and insights about Scotland made the drives between destinations just as enjoyable as the stops themselves. These day tours are a fantastic way to experience the highlights of each region. The itinerary is thoughtfully planned to make the most of your day, allowing you to see far more than you could on your own in the same amount of time. It was exactly what we were looking for during our short time in Scotland. Anyone considering a tour with Discovery Tours, especially if you get Kyle as your guide, is in for a fantastic experience. We hope to be back for another adventure someday! Tioraidh an-dràsda!
