My Very First Tour in Scotland

5.00Excellent Tour Guide. I recommend Ali… It was my very first time in Scotland and I couldn’t believe how kind, thoughtful and patient he was… I think I was a minute or 2 late for the tour and he called to check on me and the moment I arrived he shook my hand greeted me with kindness. This tour had so many hidden gems and surprising stories that I never knew. Thanks again.

5.00Alastair was an extremely good storyteller and guide. So much history, but you may not really appreciate it without the right teacher - which we all certainly did! 5/5!
