Castles, lochs, munros and quaint villiages

5.00What a fantastic tour! We visited three castles, made multiple stops in quaint villages with time to explore and catch a bite to eat drink. We stopped at beautiful lochs, drove through the awesome highland hills and learned the names of many munros (mountains). Freddy is an amazing, friendly and knowledgeable guide. He had so many great stories to tell about Scottish history and fun facts about the locations we visited. He also has a wonderful Spotify playlist, carefully curated for our journey. He even let play DJ and choose songs from the list. :) We highly recommend this tour!
We had a very good driver...

5.00We had a very good driver for this trip, Jaime N. He would make several stops along the way to be able to take pictures & to explore the area. We saw some beautiful sights along our way to our different destinations.

5.00The bus can seem cramped, so don’t bring much with you. The driver was awesome, she was very sweet & knowledgeable.
Horrible service, staff and experience

1.00DO NOT BOOK. We booked 3 months in advance and the morning of, once we had already arrived, they informed us they had overbooked the tour and could not fit us on. Offered barely any solution except coming the next day which we could not because we were leaving Scotland. Staff was incredibly rude. Complete waste of money and time. Infuriating after planning an entire trip across the world to see the Highlands.
Disappointing Tour

1.00I booked this tour for Tuesday without being informed that the Castle remains closed on that day. The Viator app prominently displayed castle images in its advertisements, which created a misleading impression and directly influenced my decision to purchase the tour. This constitutes misrepresentation and amounts to unfair trade practice. Despite raising a complaint, Viator has refused to issue a refund. Accordingly, I have escalated the matter to the Tourism Department of Scotland for appropriate action.
