Rest and be Thankful

5.00Dave was the best guide ever. The whole experience was amazing because of the breathtaking environment in Scotland, but it wouldn’t be the same with other guide. He explained everything in a funny and clear manner.
Dave was excellent and scenery breathtaking

5.00This was a great trip. Colin, our driver/guide gave us an excellent experience. He made every effort to ensure we saw the most amazing scenery. His commentary was informative and he was always happy to accommodate every guest.

4.00Good time and the tour guide Johnny did a good job and was very personable. Poor weather in December but that's what you get in Scotland during this time of the year, it was expected. Our tour guide was very accommodating and even when the last scheduled stop was closed, Johnny took us to an alternative location, Drover's Inn, that was very worth visiting.

5.00Tony was a fantastic guide, we had a great time and took loads of nice pictures at beautiful views. Only bad thing is the Midgies song was stuck in my head for a couple days after.
Best tour to check some great views on Scotland's highlands

5.00Tony is a great guide and an amazing human. We felt protected the whole time. His abilities as a guide and a driver were great, because he wanted to make sure the atmosphere was uplifting the whole time. Time on each activity was perfect. Price was really great.
Great Value: This Backpacker Had A Blast!

5.00Tony was a brilliant guide, full of wit and very knowledgeable about the land. I was absolutely enthralled by the stories we were hearing about the land, and it was a nice paced sample of the highlands. The guide was also able to bring the group together, constantly checking in that we were all comfortable together even in the erratic scotland weather. I came in as a solo backpacker and actually had some good group interaction. It was rainy as it often is in scotland (260 days of the year according to Tony) but didn’t put a damper on a great time.
This was an awesome day!...
