Traveler reviews
Fantastic tour! Highly recommended.
My partner and I absolutely loved this tour from start to finish. The itinerary was perfect with so many beautiful sites to see. Ron was a phenomenal guide - professional, warm, funny, very knowledgable, and shared a lot of fun trivia. We went on another tour with a different provider a few days later and it was a chaotic mess, we sincerely wished we'd booked with Discover Scotland Tours again. Highly recommend this operator and ask for Ron if at all possible!
Highland adventure
Ron is an excellent guide, quilt and all! So full of knowledge about Scotland’s history. Well paced and very enjoyable tour.
Live.
We departed from Edinburgh Bus Station ..closed walk with Rabbie's own company, small group, tour in English. Tip: Be punctual, asked to arrive with atecendencia of 15 minutes and as everyone was already on board we left, gaining time, the guide Lizzie very friendly, who was also a driver DJ is a photographer.motivated .., narrated various stories of the battles that took place in the Highlands with right to soundtrack that was from traditional Scottish music, very Celtic, to Skyfall .
Excellent tour with Sandy
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.
Lochs and castles and Dougie!!
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!
