Traveler reviews
It was a wonderful...
It was a wonderful excursion. We especially loved our bus driver/guide Andy who was very knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and he made the whole experience great!
Excellent way to experience the Borders!
If you're visiting Edinburgh and the Highlands, take a day to visit "the borders," too, and this tour, or the liner one with Hadrian's Wall added, is a great way to do it. Our guide and driver Andy was terrific, very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout the tour. Highly recommend!
Must see Rosslyn Chapel.
It was a slower paced tour with time to take in the scenery while on the bus and in the quaint villages. Rosslyn Chapel is an absolute “must see” on your trip to Scotland. It’s simply breathtaking. Our guide, Mina, was very knowledgeable and provided just the right amount of history, music and quiet time.
Great Day
Great day and got to see lots of places we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Guide was interesting personable and knowledgeable.
Great Time
Reese was wonderful. I was amazed by what a great driver he was. I don't know how he maneuvered those narrow streets talking at the same time. We learned a lot of history as he drove. He also said we could ask him whatever we wanted to so I asked about Scotland in general. Rosslyn Chapel was great and we attended a lecture there given by a woman. We also went to Melrose Abbey and enjoyed that too. I really want to mention how humble Reese was and how he never asked us to write him a review. We were really impressed with him.
