The splendor of Scotland in style

You could deceive the beauty of the country outside of Edinburgh. I also had a fantastic guy who was well-versed in the history of the culture of Scotland.
Chris is a good guide

This was such a wonderful, memorable day! Chris was engaging, friendly and a wealth of information. We were able to see and learn much more than we would have on our own, and the Land Rover was quite comfortable. Chris was even able to accommodate our luggage and dropped us at the airport in time to catch our flight after the tour. Along the way, we were able to see castles, taste whisky, visit highland cows, stop at a medieval village and more. What a fabulous experience! Highly, highly recommend.
Flexible, Interesting and Engaging Tour of Scotland!

We spent the day with Chris on a central Scotland, Braveheart inspired tour. What I enjoyed the most was the flexibility he showed throughout the day. He gave us options based off what we told him we wanted to see and the whole day was spectacular. Pick up was early and on time from our hotel, gave us a quick rundown of the day, sought our input and then started sharing Scottish history with us. The drive was engaging conversation and of good tempo. We stopped at the Kelpies first, and he gave us the history and then free reign to visit it in our own time and then off to the next. The day was really gauged off our tempo, some stops were longer for us and others we were quick, so he adapted the schedule of the day based off of it. We then went to Stirling Castle and then into Stirling for lunch, once again he gave two great recommendations off of what we stated we like to eat and then was waiting at the car when we were finished! We then went to the Stirling Bridge and William Wallace Monument. We then made a stop at another castle which was on my list of must see and then off to an old Scottish village of Culross and back to our hotel. I can't say enough about this experience. It was everything we were looking for and great company! I would definitely book again when we return to Scotland!
Fantastic way to see the countryside

Will treated us to a fantastic day tour that included stops at the Kelpies and the Stirling Castle before a drive to the Highlands. Get lunch at Mohr’s! We weren’t able to test his seemingly endless knowledge of Scottish history and culture, but we tried. His easy going style and sense of humor made the day fly by. And his driving skills were excellent - there was not a moment of driving excitement despite the occasionally narrow and winding roads. I would hire him again and recommend him without hesitation.
Beautiful Lochs

The vehicle was comfortable and clean. He provided perfect locations for photo opportunities. We highly recommend this tour!

This was a wonderful day trip! Our guide Chris was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. His Range Rover was comfortable, roomy, clean and smooth. He was very flexible in taking us to various locations and very personable. Our family loved Stirling Castle, seeing part of the Highlands, stopping at Loch Lubnaig, feeding some Highland cows, seeing the Kelpies and getting to talk to our guide about all things Scottish. We’d highly recommend this driving tour!
