What a wonderful and stress-free way to see a bit of the beautiful Scottish countryside. My children and I loved this tour. Our guide was wonderful. We covered a lot of ground in a full day. We only wished we could’ve spent a little bit more time basking in Scotland’s natural beauty. Still, we were grateful to be able to see all the things we did and have such an exceptional tour guide to provide background stories and context. Thank you!

Unfortunately we were not able to go on the tour. We were a few minutes late. It said we were meeting at 7:45. Honestly I thought that we would be leaving at 8:00. Most tours meet 15 minutes before the actual leaving time.

We had the best time on this tour. I booked this for our family of 5 (me, my husband, and his parents and adult sister), for our first full day in Scotland and it was such a wonderful introduction to the country. It is certainly a long day but you can just sit back and relax while seeing the sites all day. “Old” Cameron was a fabulous guide and extremely knowledgeable, funny, patient, and kind. Some members of our party have some mobility issues and he made sure we were all comfortable and taken care of all day. His music selections and stories on the journey absolutely made our journey. My husband and I have taken several tours from Viator all over Europe (this was our first in the UK), and this was certainly the best. Book this one, it’s so worth it!
Not to be missed glimpse into the Highlands!

We were in Glasgow and decided to take this tour as we would not have another opportunity to visit the Highlands. It was really the highlight of our entire trip. The guide passed the time on the drive with stories, history, and a fantastic playlist! Wish there had been a few more hours of daylight to enjoy this gorgeous place!!! (Darn Winter solstice)
