Most incredible experience! Highly recommended tour!

My family of 6 adults did a 5 day tour leaving from Edinburgh to the Highlands and Isle of Skye. Everything about the tour was amazing! Planning was easy, our tour guide Anita was incredible and super accommodating. All aspects of the tour exceeded our expectations. We had constant communication, updates and assistance whenever it was needed. We were picked up and dropped off in Edinburgh, we had plenty of time at all the locations we went to and were able to see additional places not included that we really appreciated and enjoyed. All recommendations provided were fantastic, we loved all the hotels and restaurants we went to. They helped accommodate a golf outing for our group, just beyond helpful! Thank you so much for helping my family make incredible memories!

Unforgettable

We had the most fabulous 5 day trip all around Scotland. Our tour guide, Katherine, not only was very personable, she was extremely knowlegable and a fantastic driver. We saw areas of Scotland we would have never seen on our own nor even known about! The Isle of Skye was a highlight, especially since Katherine once lived there. She took us to a lot of special places and timed our visits perfectly to beat the crowds. We highly recommend this tour!!!

5 day tour Scottish Tours/Highland Experience

An amazing tour with our fantastic guide Chris who was very knowledgeable and managed the tour stops and the passengers extremely well. We saw so much and yet the visits didn’t seem at all rushed. The accommodation was all good and the hotel and the guest house on the mainland were excellent. Good value and well recommended. Kathleen and Dominic York
