5.00We did the Afternoon Tea Tour with Lucas as our guide, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Lucas was warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable — the way he told stories really brought everything to life and made the whole experience feel special. The afternoon tea itself was delicious, with a lovely selection of traditional treats and teas in such a charming setting. You could tell Lucas genuinely loves what he does, and that made all the difference. He took care of every little detail, answered all our questions with so much kindness, and kept us smiling the whole time. The tour was also super well-organized by Haggis Hunters Tours — everything was smooth, on time, and very professional. If you’re looking for something unique, local, and full of heart, this is it. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat and would happily do it all over again!
