Wonderful route thru Scottish highlands, Lochs & scenery with multiple stops in small towns and castles to photograph. Being part of a a small group made the trip very enjoyable. Our host Ricky was the best. Highly recommend as the sites were incredible!!
We loved our day with Graham as our guide. We saw so much, learned some history and context and just had a wonderfully joyful day
Fabulous full day of fantastic sightseeing in the highlands and lowlands. Great local information provided by the guide
The tour was amazing but the experience that I had was bad.. The coach turned on the AC and it was so cold I asked him more than once to turn it off because I got sick and my allergies started getting worse he said ok but he didn’t, even my friend didn’t enjoy that much because she felt very cold in the bus and it was raining so badly outside and getting inside a cold bus made us feel sick and headache all the time..
Peter our driver and guide was an absolute gem! He made this entire tour for me with his information he was sharing about everything and he played Scottish music as well. I recommend this tour to see everything but it is a long day. Make sure to dress for the weather and bring an umbrella just in case! Thank you Peter!
Amazing trip! James was a wonderful guide - friendly, knowledgeable. There was a lot to see. The pace was comfortable and relaxing.
The tour was exactly what we needed. It took us to places where we would never have gone by ourselves. Jeff our tour guide was amazing. He is so knowledgeable and friendly. Never tried to hard sell us on anything on the tour. Just allow us to enjoy everything.
The tour in and of itself was good. The guide was knowledgeable and told his tales with gusto. Unfortunately he let his private life come into play a little too often: his cycling expeditions and his love of Oban where we got unnecessary extra time, after he said that he had a special connection with the city. This delayed our return. Would have liked more time in Glencoe and to see only 2-3 castles on a tour that says ‘castles tour’ is a little disappointing. Loved the scenery and landscape we were able to view and the changes in vegetation.
One of the best tours I have been on. Each stop had something unique and beautiful and the scenery on the drive between stops was breathtaking.
Scenic sights and our guide Stevie was v experienced and friendly, sharing lots of stories on Scotland along the way. Also enjoyed the stopover at Oban where we had fresh seafood. Bonus we even got to see highland cows (not guaranteed! Think we were just lucky that day).
