Great Taster of Scotland

4.00It was my first coach tour so I didn't know what to expect. I think it was an amazing taster of Scotland. I would love to go back to Scotland and have more time to do some hikes in some of the amazing places we visited. If you are unable to hike around then this tour is perfect. Our accommodation and guide Craig were both fab.
Most incredible experience! Highly recommended tour!

5.00My family of 6 adults did a 5 day tour leaving from Edinburgh to the Highlands and Isle of Skye. Everything about the tour was amazing! Planning was easy, our tour guide Anita was incredible and super accommodating. All aspects of the tour exceeded our expectations. We had constant communication, updates and assistance whenever it was needed. We were picked up and dropped off in Edinburgh, we had plenty of time at all the locations we went to and were able to see additional places not included that we really appreciated and enjoyed. All recommendations provided were fantastic, we loved all the hotels and restaurants we went to. They helped accommodate a golf outing for our group, just beyond helpful! Thank you so much for helping my family make incredible memories!
Good tour with perfect guide!!!

5.00We had the most fabulous 5 day trip all around Scotland. Our tour guide, Katherine, not only was very personable, she was extremely knowlegable and a fantastic driver. We saw areas of Scotland we would have never seen on our own nor even known about! The Isle of Skye was a highlight, especially since Katherine once lived there. She took us to a lot of special places and timed our visits perfectly to beat the crowds. We highly recommend this tour!!!

5.00An amazing tour with our fantastic guide Chris who was very knowledgeable and managed the tour stops and the passengers extremely well. We saw so much and yet the visits didn’t seem at all rushed. The accommodation was all good and the hotel and the guest house on the mainland were excellent. Good value and well recommended.

5.00The tour was a marvel! First time doing a guided bus tour and this has set the bar way high for any coming after. We did the 5 day tour since we felt this was a good middle ground to see a bit and not get bored by too much driving. Chris was our tour guide and he is just such a cool guy he made the whole trip 3x the fun we would've had anyways. The group was mixed with many different ages and nationalities which made making friends a bit hard at first but after our stay on Skye I feel we all got a bit nearer to each other! As the youngest 2 we felt like we found quite a few adoptive parents on the trip :D The whiskey distillery was sadly not able to be toured- that would be kinda nice to update on the information of the tour since we did actually look forward to that :( we "only" went to the smol shop and bar at the beginning (which was still nice for a wee taste of whiskey and some shopping) The accomodations were all really nice with really friendly and open b&b hosts! Chris always gave us some recommendations for food in every city or village and we had enough comfort stops so nobody had to feel bad calling for a stop or sth! I would really really recommend the tour to learn about Scotland, see the Highlands and maybe even make some friends :) Many greetings from Team Germany, it was unforgettable!

4.00This tour provided an excellent opportunity to see lots of different areas of Scotland. Our tour guide, Brodie, was fun and provided lots of information and stories to match the areas we visited. Accommodations booked by the tour company we comfortable but were not always an easy walk to dinner locations.
