Awesome tour!!!!

Only had two days in Scotland and wanted to see as much as I possibly could and maximize my time! Alastair was an AMAZING tour guide, even went out of his way to include sights not listed on the itinerary since we had extra time. Bus was comfortable and clean, amazing experience especially for the price!!

The best tour ever!!

This was the best tour I’ve been on! I had the most fun with my friends and absolutely enjoyed Scotland, I can’t wait to come back. Alastair was the absolute best tour guide ever. Incredibly funny and beyond kind. He went above and beyond for us during our time with him. Couldn’t recommend a tour more than this one!!

Fabulous tour with a fabulous guide

Keith was a friendly and funny guide. He kept us informed with interesting stories. We went to the Kelpies, Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond and Lisa village. Keith gave us sufficient time at each place. Everything was excellent. Highly recommend.
