5.00Scott the guide, is very nice and funny. The audio guide in Spanish is very poor, the guide tells many more cool things about Scotland if you know English it is worth it.

5.00Nicky and Alex gave us a fantastic experience of Scotland, bringing its history to life with fun facts, fascinating stories, and plenty of humour along the way. Because we were a smaller group and not rushed for time, we were treated to a couple of extra stops and some lovely photo opportunities that made the trip even more special. Both Nicky and Alex were incredibly friendly yet professional throughout, always cheerful and accommodating — nothing was ever too much trouble. Their wealth of knowledge was outstanding, and even the music was perfectly chosen to match the stunning backdrops and atmosphere of each location. A truly memorable experience that we would highly recommend!
Amazing guide
