Was a great way to see some of Scotland other than the big cities, especially if you're traveling without a car. We appreciated our tour guide and driver, excellent companions. Particularly liked the idea of the map of Scotland pinned on the minivan roof above the dash and the chatty way of giving modern viewpoints as well as lots of Scottish history. Thanks very much to the weatherman upstairs for cooperating, too! Blooming gorse on the hillsides and optional haggis and single malt at lunchtime, what could be a better way to visit the bonny banks and braes!

We really enjoyed this tour; it is much better to travel on a minivan than a normal bus--the tour is friendlier. The minivan was comfortable and the guide was really funny and had a great knowledge of Scottish history. His narrations of the Scottish history were accurate, interesting, vivid, funny and never boring. We also listened to some Scottish folk music along the day, always relating to something we had seen or someone the guide had mentioned. My wife and I had an amazing day. We loved the visit to the Kilchurn Castle, with the guide giving us a nice explanation and a walking tour into the castle. It was a pity that we had to choose between visiting the Inveraray Castle and the village. We chose the castle and we really enjoyed it, but we would have loved to have one hour or half an hour to walk around Inveraray. I also thought that the stop at Luss was too short; Loch Lomond is a really beautiful place, and the village seemed very nice. A 10-minute stop was not enough. We truly recommend the tour.

The tour guide and bus were very good, also the tour gave a good introduction to the scenery of the Highlands. A bit disappointing was that because of the short trip, there was almost no time at all to see the castles.

The tour was great. The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable even though she had only been working for the company for about 2 months. The only thing U would change would be to allow more time for touring Doune Castle. All in all it was definitely worth doing.
