Perfect day

We had lots of fun on this excursion. Our tour guide was great. We would recommend to friends. We got to see a lot without it feeling like our whole day was taken with travel like some other tours

What a perfect day...

What a perfect day roaming through Scotland. All the stops were great and our tour guide Keith was the BEST. He gave us a history lesson that kept my kids so engaged. Didn’t want the day to end

Wonderful experience

I came on this tour with my 5 year old daughter, we both have had a great experience, we got to see places we haven’t seen before. Our tour was 10 hours but time went quickly. Phil was a great at talking about the history of the places we visited and was a pleasant and happy driver. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Great Tour!

Phil is an amazing tour guide & driver! The tours of the Kelpies, Stirling Castle, & the Loch was a great day and we were blessed with the Highland Game occurring at the same time we were at the Loch! Each stop had a perfect amount of time - not too little or too much. The bus was comfortable and the music selection was awesome!
