Amazing Trip

5.00We went for our honeymoon and had an incredible time! Our tour was Mon-Fri, and we stayed comfortably busy the entire time. The scenery was amazing and worth the trip on its own. All of the other stops and excursions that were arranged for us were like a bonus to the sights we got to see. We loved the relaxed timeline and freedom to take our time walking around, taking pictures/videos, and stopping to eat and drink. Dan, our guide, was an absolute 10/10. You can tell that he’s worked hard to become as knowledgeable about the area’s history as he is, and he’s still learning more to be able to speak about on tours. He was a lot of fun to be around, kept things loose and light, and was great company that made our honeymoon that much more special. Couldn’t say a bad thing about Dan or Tartan Viking! We would absolutely book with them again, and we plan to in the future! 3 Highlights of the trip: - Kilt Rock - Glenlivet Distillery - The Hermitage
Greatest Tour of Scotland!

5.00The tour was phenomenal! The only regret I have is not making it longer! Ross did a fantastic job showing my mom and I the Isle of Skye and every story in between. We had a lovely time on our 3 day private bespoken tour and couldn't have asked for a better mother-daughter tour!
A tailor made trip to remember thanks to Calum

Trip of a lifetime and SO WORTH THE COST!

5.00My husband and I decided we wanted to do Scotland for our anniversary, but it was overwhelming trying to figure out all the logistics/planning for a 10 day trip. Neither of us wanted to try to drive and navigate in a foreign country, either. I happen to follow Tartan Viking on Instagram and looked into them for our trip, and I’m SO GLAD I DID! I basically told them the main things we wanted to see, and they curated a trip just for us (private, guided tour). Took care of booking the hotels, planning daily excursions, and driving us around and we basically just had to book our flights and hotel for pre and post tour (easy peasy). We were picked up from our hotel in Edinburgh the day after we flew in, and then our guide drove us to each destination and would pick us up from our hotel around 9 each morning to go see the sights. Then he’d have us back for dinner around 6. Days were packed with awesome views, hikes, food, and adventure. We stayed in Isle of Skye for a couple nights, then took a ferry to Isle of Harris/Lewis and stayed in a CASTLE for a couple nights (yeah, amazing experience), then took a ferry back to the mainland and stayed in Inverness for a few nights, then back to Edinburgh. So much was packed into all of that, and our guide made it SO stress free and enjoyable for us! Our guide, Danny, was simply THE BEST (queue Tina Turner)! Incredibly knowledgeable, very entertaining, and a fantastic DJ! He is also a very skilled photographer, and he captured some great photos of my husband and me so we didn’t just end up with our own selfies :) He made sure we got to see what we wanted and that we were enjoying ourselves. He took such great care of us, it was a little difficult coming home and having to drive myself around again. Thinking of starting an emotional support group for those of us who got to tour with Danny in Scotland and then had to leave and go back home (Scotland withdrawals are real). All in all - worth the cost, trip of a lifetime, core memories created, and 10/10 would recommend! Also, expect wind and rain if going in the fall. Doesn’t hinder the experience though!
Great trip to Loch Ness

Falling in Love with Scotland

5.00Our group of friends had the incredible experience of being paired with Dan from Tartan Viking Tours. We first contacted a few tour companies and after working with Angelina on suggestions on how to best fit our time schedule we decided to go with Tartan Viking. We were then paired with Dan. Dan was a delight! Dan was also very knowledgeable about history and the perfect sites to see and how to take a great picture! But, beyond that Dan was funny and kind and our group felt comfortable and safe with him. We spent two weeks touring the UK and our group unanimously agreed that this was the #1 experience of our trip. We would absolutely come back to Scotland and do another experience with Tartan Viking Tours.
Amazing guided tour through Isle of Skye, Inverness, Glenco and Loch Ness

5.00We had a wonderful tour over 4 days with Tartan Viking. Our tour guide Dan was absolutely amazing and we had some great chats, laughs, and saw some amazing places. Including ones we would never have known were there. Dan is a passionate Scotsman with wonderful historical information which we so greatly appreciated and loved. It felt more like friends driving around than just a tour. Highly recommend Tartan Viking and Dan as a guide.

5.00We had the most amazing experience on our 5 day tour with Ross visiting Glencoe, Skye, Inverness and Edinburgh. The Highlands are amazing. We cannot recommend Ross enough! With knowledge about all the history of each location, he catered to everything we wanted to do and needed, and got us to amazing sites without any stress. We will absolutely be back and requesting Ross. And maybe Dan too! ;)
Excellent Trip
