A must do trip!

The day was splendid from start to finish. Our driver guide, Duncan, was outstanding! He gave so much information but knew when we needed to reflect. He also played the pipe and bagpipes at certain points waiting for us to come back together. What a treat, especially at the Cairns and Culloden.

Lovely Sights, but You'll Have to Guide Yourself

Guide was friendly and courteous, but provided little commentary on the sites we visited, other than how long we would be there.

Introduction to Scotland visiting the past

Great introduction to the significant Highlands history as it relates to the defeat and subsequent destruction of the clan system. Then followed up how the victors greed ruined aspects of the culture that persist today. Our guide, Amy was constantly giving information on all subjects, history, language, food & breaks, etc. A real pleasurable day
