Superb: the highlands and Tarry!!
Yesterday we went on this tour and I am short of words to describe the beauty and magnificence of the scenery, the excellence of our guide, Tarry and the skill of our driver, Allan. 13 hrs flied by. We were mesmerized with the high of the mountains, the serenity of the lakes and rivers and the whole vibe of this land. But I’m pretty sure our trip would not have been the same without Tarry. She has a contagious sparkle and has the ability of wearing many hats: she could go from a teacher to a comedian to a relatable friend back and forth. Her voice is soft but firm and is evident she knows the history and the geography of Scotland despite being from England. The bus was very comfortable and even through narrow and curvy roads we felt safe due to the driving skills of Allan. I definitely recommend this tour!!
Dan the Man
It’s a long journey so pack some snacks! If you are lucky to have Dan then you are in for a treat! He’s knowledgeable but super funny! Made this trip so much more fun! The scenery is beautiful!
