Excellent tour

Excellent trip really enjoyed it and our host Dougie was brilliant . Just the right amount of time spent at each visitor site. Dougie was enthusiastic about his country and folklore and enjoyed sharing his knowledge about the area we visited.

We had an amazing tour....

We had an amazing tour. Brian, our tour guide/driver did an exemplary job and while coming back he was too kind to drop us closer to our hotel as well. He had a good knowledge about all the places that we visited. Great job, done.

Beautiful Scotland

Stuart was our guide for the day. Very knowledgeable and really proud of his country. We got a good taste of the lower highlands. Wish we had more than an hour at Stirling Castle.
