5.00The best tour we had in Scotland! Callum was extremely responsive and knowledgeable when setting up the tour. He listened to what our interests were and then added things we weren’t even aware of. His time management of all the events of the day was excellent! Would definitely hire him again!
Memorable Day!

5.00We had an incredible experience with Anderson Scottish Tours! From the moment we stepped off our cruise ship, we were greeted at the port entrance by our guide, Callum, wearing a kilt no less! He wasted no time in getting us loaded in his comfortable Mercedes van for a day full of personalized adventure. He took the time to tailor our tour perfectly, making sure we saw the Kelpies, the beauty of Loch Lomond, a special stop at Doune Castle for us Outlander fans, and even an opportunity to feed some hairy coos! His knowledge and genuine pride in sharing his country's history and beauty made the day truly special. Highly recommend, Callum and Anderson Scottish Tours, for anyone looking to make the most of their port stop in Scotland!
Fantastic
