Traveler reviews
Lots of driving - not a lot to see and do
We enjoyed this tour and feel we saw a lot of the coast outside of Aberdeen. That said, almost all the time was spent driving as compared to the time actually seeing and experiencing things. The coast is lovely, but a lot of the stops are 5 minutes to take a photo. The lunch stop provided only a few options that had availability (tables) at the time we stopped. Our guide was okay, but answered too many questions saying he didn’t know. Overall, we enjoyed the day, but cannot unconditionally recommend this experience,
A Perfect Scottish Day with Douglas
It was a truly memorable journey through Scotland’s breathtaking coastal areas and rich history, led by our fantastic Rabbie’s tour guide and driver, Douglas. Friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful, he took great care of everyone, shared fascinating stories at every stop, and kept the trip entertaining from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Scotland
Educational and Informative
While it may seem more extravagant to pay for a tour one can do on one’s own, it is unlikely that you will either have the same amount of local knowledge as a tour guide or have the same degree of satisfaction from having immersed oneself more into the environment. As a bonus, this can be done without having to keep your eyes on the road (or glued to a navigation system- which does not always know best). On this tour, participants are offered an array of sights and experiences , on this occasion with Daryl, along with a liberal taste of humour within a relaxed atmosphere.
Amazing your!
Great trip, lots of information and Darryl was an amazing guide! We loved stories, the dolphins and all of the seaside towns along the way! Cullen skink!!
This is an amazing tour!!...
This is an amazing tour!! We got super lucky and saw dolphins, seals, and puffins!! Our tour guide Neil C did a fantastic job telling us history facts and stories along the way. Lunch is Cullen was really good with plenty of options, and there were also plenty of bathroom breaks. Would highly recommend.
