    Mary set a high bar for tour guides. Not only knowledgeable but passionate about Scotland. I really enjoyed hearing all the facts and stories she knew and making sure we didn't miss seeing something beautiful. Great experience for the price

    A trip highlight for the whole family
    Kate_C, Apr 2024
    Barry was an excellent guide! I was nervous about 12 hours in a minibus but we saw incredible sights, heard great stories, and for everyone in my family (including 2 teens) the whole day was a trip highlight! I would highly recommend!
    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    We had an amazing day touring the Highlands and Loch Ness. Stuart was a great guide who even brought carrots for us to feed the Cows.

    Over and beyond our expectations
    Rebecca_K, Mar 2024
    Tour was great, but what impressed us the most was our guide who was incredibly knowledgable, shared his knowledge in an engaging, interactive and entertaining way and who gave us a fantastic day in Scotland. What we appreciated the most is the fact that he went over and beyond to find cows (the famous highland cows) that our children so so longed to see and even bought them carrots to give to them. We are well traveled and have high standards, we can happily say time and money well invested. Thank you so much for an unforgettable day from a Cypriot family :)
    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    Beautifully spent day trip
    Sowmya_B, Mar 2024

    Nicole_P, Jul 2023
    This was a great tour! It is a pretty long day due to the distance needing to be traveled, but all the stops made it seem to go by quickly. Stuart was an awesome guide, very informative and interactive. I plan to use this company again when in Scotland in the future with my children. Definitely recommend!!

    Avis mitigé sympa mais je ne referais pas forcément
    Cynthia_R, Apr 2024
    Guide vraiment super sympa. Nous n’avons pas fait toutes les haltes aux points indiqué donc petite déception, car j’ai perdu beaucoup de temps à choisir l’excursion avec les arrêts que je préférais. Il ne faut pas faire le tour en bateau au loch ness ça ne vaut pas la peine même si l’équipe est sympa, parce que vous n’aurez le temps de rien voir d’autre et à peine le temps d’avaler un truc. C’est une journée stressant, on a pas le temps de vraiment profiter des haltes. Mais c’est une bonne solution pour voir les highland quand vous faite un court séjour et que vous ne louez pas de véhicule.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Ondanks het slechte weer een ontzettend leuke trip
    Patricia_B, Feb 2024
    Ondanks het slechte weer hebben we genoten van de rit. Stuart is een prima gids en uitstekend chauffeur. Hij weet heel veel te vertellen over Schotland op een leuke manier.

    Thanks for the kind words. I am happy to hear that the wonderful Scottish weather didn't dampen your experience.

    Dbora_S, Oct 2023
    Estava ventando muito e estava bem frio, mesmo assim fez um dia lindo de sol. Mary foi nossa guia de turismo e motorista pelos pontos e além de dirigir muito bem, foi muito animada, simpática e nos passou tudo o que pôde sobre as histórias e lendas locais. Eu e meu marido amamos passar o dia com ela! A van estava aparentemente nova, muito bem limpa e cuidada. Os locais visitados são incríveis, e exatamente como um cartão postal.
