5.00A spectacular day. The journey is 10 hours but at no time does it get slow or heavy. The places you are seeing are spectacular and worth making this getaway Ron, our guide, was a 10. We went with our children aged 19 and 21 and they also loved it

5.00It was a beautiful day. Kyle was a wonderful guide throughout the trip. We have already seen a lot of Scotland on our individual trips, but he still had a lot of information to share with us and was very attentive to our needs. It was nice to put the trip planning in such experienced and committed hands and just relax and enjoy ourselves. I can recommend it 100%.

5.00We spent our day with kyle and a small group. The castles were very nice and even the small villages were sweet and cozy. We would do the tour again as we were provided with the most important facts even during the ride and the funny humor of Kylie:)

4.00Cameron was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Scottish landscapes, culture, and overall history! The road up to Doune castle was frozen over so we had to take it off the itinerary. That was a bummer since I was very excited about it but we went to see the kelpies statue instead which was interesting. It’s a great tour to consider so you can see parts of Scotland you’d never see without a car! Stunning views of the countryside, highly recommend.
Great Highlands and Castle Experience!

Great tour!
