You are going to see some great places and hear wonderful stories

We had a wonderful day with Rose, who educated and entertained with her storytelling of Scotish history. The stops of the tour are all fantastic and worth it. Would have loved a bit more time at Stirling Castle but the timing was great to catch the tour at Rosslyn Chapel. Rose was great in giving tips where to go first and how to navigate queues.

The driver/guide: a very weird individual that constantly talked to himself while driving and making comments about other drivers around him. He followed too close and often went over the speed limits. Several people asked him to turn down the sound because they couldn’t understand him. He just ignored them. Said he was Scottish. At some point he referred to the stuffed animal on his dash as resembling Donald Trump. Making a joke about Trump as if everyone was comfortable with it. Don’t ya think politics should be parked at home? He asked my wife and I to stop talking, actually shushing us because he had to concentrate on his speaking and driving. Told us, over the PA, to move to the back of the bus if we wanted to talk. I wrote to the company and they blew it off making excuses for his bad behaviour. Folks, at £125 for my wife and I, generally quiet people, thus was uncalled for. The entire experience was expensive and unprofessional.

Great day tour.

Fantastic tour with loads of history. Our driver Steven was great and provided excellent oratory history on our way to each stop. Each destination had so much immersive history to experience.
