The trip was nice. The driver/guide is also great. he only short fall was, we booked for hotel accommodation, yet, the first night hotel was a B and B, not hotel. (Other couples in our group stayed in a real hotel.) After we complained to the driver/guide. the following 3 nights' hotel were fine.
My wife and I loved Scotland! The trip was very well organized and the stops interesting. The B and B's were more pleasant than a regular hotel, particularly our stay in Oban. The only downside that I could mention, is that there was not enough time at most of the stops for my wife and I to take it all in. Forty-five minutes seems to be the average preferred time for most people, but if you really like to take your time with the history, you will only have about a third of the time you'd like. In spite of that, our guide, Carole, was stellar (she's a whole extra star all by herself). She should get a bonus and a promotion this year just for being so brilliant.
This tour exceeded its publicity. We saw all that was mentioned and then more! Our exceptional guide, Stevie, had all history plus amusing anecdotal stories for us. It was absolutely the best time I had in all of Europe. Thanks Stevie and my fellow travellers Love you all! Will never forget these five days.
This was an awesome trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and held our attention while telling stories. He played a variety of music and stayed engaged with the group. He also was a safe driver. There was lots to see and plenty of time to stretch our legs along the way. Some highlights: were driving through Glen Sheil, spending the day exploring Skye, fresh Salmon in Dunkeld and stoping to see Glen Coe.
Some disappointments: I do wish we could have seen the inside of Eilean Donan Castle instead of just stopping to take a picture. Lock Ness was not as interesting a stop as we had hoped it to be and the train ride was just ok. You actually get a prettier view looking at the train than being on it.
All in all, I would highly recommend this tour. We covered a lot a ground seamlessly. My son (8 yrs old) had a blast and so did we.
This trip was Wonderful!!! Our guide was very knowledgeable and truly made the trip for us!
We cannot praise this tour highly enough. Our driver Daniel was absolutely brilliant and regaled us with information and anecdotes, throughout the tour. The Hotel Rosedale in Portree was charming and delightful with excellent service from the smiling staff. The Jacobite train was fascinating and everything arranged by Highland Explorer Tours was first rate.
very nice trip !
Excellent trip, well presented especially by the driver/guide by the name of Allen. Very knowledgable of Scottish and English history with added humor making his talks very entertaining. The Isle of Skye had a lot of interesting things to see.
Would highly reccomend this trip and the organizer (Highland Explorers). Our guide Daniel made the trip extremely interesting and we covered a wide range of sights in the Highlands. The steam train ride through the viaduct was truly a unique experience. Couldn't reccomend this enough!
The tour was fabulous and the guide was super. The guide was so knowledgeable about the area that he was able to make changes to the itinerary when we ran into bad weather. My only problem with the tour was the B and B accommodations. The beds and bathrooms were horrible. My brother has a B and B in England. True, his is a 5 star, but I was not expecting what I received as a 3 star accommodation. I visited my brother after my Scotland trip. He tells me that the ratings really START at 3 star. There are none/few 1 or 2 star B and B's.
