We had a great tour guide. The views are to die for, and you see a lot of Scotland when doing it.

It was a wonderful trip, and we loved going by minivan versus a big bus. The tour was much more personalized, and we did not have to wait on large groups of people. Our two children, ages 8 and 11, also loved the trip and the opportunity to see "Nessie"! Thank to our tour guide for a lifetime of memories!

We all had a wonderful time on this tour! Great guide, great weather, and great scenery! The driver went out of his way to give us the best picture opportunities, and we enjoyed his wonderful commentary along the way!

1 - The trip is beautiful. You spend most of your time in the car but enough time for photos and lunch and coffee stops. So the trip and material the guide has to work with to start with are MUST SEE. Scotland was beautiful with numerous castles in the middle of nowhere and lovely valleys.
2 - Our guide was a personable and very Scottish older fellow without a brogue or persona SO strong as to be incomprehensible. He knew so much and had a lot of interesting stories.
3 - The bus is comfortable and clean and the tour guide was honest - taking us briefly to a whiskey tasting spot but 'mainly for the toilets' and telling us to go ahead and try the samples but only buy something if we knew we couldn't find it imported in the US for cheaper, or even to go to Europe to buy it - Scottish themselves apparently buy expensive whiskey abroad to save themselves the UK taxes. Basically honest, no weird sales talks or long stops at boring 'workshops' as so often organized tours seem to do.
Our trip in the highlands was superb. Our guide was an excellent driver and wonderful storyteller who made history come alive. There were enough comfort stops to keep everyone "comfortable" and many photo stops as well. Altogether, this proved to be a great day and well worth the money.

Our guide was fantastic and made the most of the unfortunate bad weather. She was always in good humor and told interesting stories. It's obvious how much she loves her country, and she made me love it too.

The tour was wonderful! Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and a very pleasant companion on the trip. The scenery is spectacular and the stops along the way were exactly what I had hoped they would be. I traveled with three other companions and each one of us thoroughly enjoyed the experience! I couldn't be more pleased and hope to have the opportunity to return to beautiful Scotland for another one of your tours.

Our tour guide/driver was was very fun and informative and genuine. Although my daughter was car sick most of the trip - no fault of the driver! - we still found the day enjoyable. Beautiful country, enough stops to get out and see a bit, take photos, be tourists if we wished to buy things. Lovely drive through lots of picture postcard villages.

The tour guide was excellent; he had so much information stored away, I didn't find a dull moment in this tour at all. It was good even though the roof of the van leaked a little, as it rained all day.
