Traveler reviews
Highland trip
Brilliant day Karen was amazing, well informed, would definitely recommend this trip.
Fantastic tour with Tim
This full day tour with Tim was the highlight of our trip to Scotland. The scenery and history were amazing, and Tim as our guide for the day truly enhanced the experience with his comprehensive knowledge, great storytelling and overall personality. He created an amazing vibe in the van. Coupled with skilled driving, especially on the single lane roads on Skye, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. I highly recommend this small group tour and hopefully you are lucky enough to get Tim as your guide. Thanks Tim!
Nice day on Isle of Dky
Tim was an excellent guide both funny and told us a lot of interesting facts and fairy tales. I've got to know Scotland a lot more.
Beautiful tour
Tim was the greatest company, through more than 12 hours of tour. It is a very long day, and the tour has a lot of stops, that really allow you to get in scotlands heart, and be submerged in scotish culture. Lots of free bathrooms too. Not your typical tourist tour, we took very local roads and got to see some secret and not so known places.
Great trip
Such a great experience! Tim was really funny and told some really cool stories, both historical and folklore. The bus was comfortable and made good stops for breaks and to check out viewpoints. The driving was professional and on some of those highland roads, there is no way we would be able to drive them ourselves. Great job!
