5.00Sean was our Guide and was prompt to pick us up at our hotel and get us on our way. We enjoyed various topics of conversation along the ride and he was sure to point out significant places we passed and answer any questions. The van was very clean and comfortable. Chillingham castle was one of the highlights of our entire trip, and we were able to stroll the castle and grounds easily on our own. We also visited Glenkinchie Distillery for a tour, and on the way back to Edinburgh, Sean surprised us with a stop to the oldest bar in the UK that my father was curious about, Sheep Heid, where we were able to "bowl." We appreciated his pleasant and polite personality and would use this company again happily :)
