5.00Driver Darren was really good at guiding us. We were able to experience many highlights and anecdotes, as well as music from the area - communicated in a good way and with a lot of humor.
A great trip.

5.00Our tour guide Neil was very knowledgeable and presented the information in an interesting manner. The locations were beautiful and we had enough time at each stop to take plenty of photos. Cullen has many options for lunch and for shopping. We did get to see dolphins and seals.
Not worthy for the price

2.00In time without birds, not so much to be seen. The coast is cute but not amazing, just visiting the castle was worthy. The itinerary is not well balanced: Time for lunch much too long, not enough time for other spots, the guide did not stop for watching the seals, too bad. The guide not really knowledgeable.
Interesting Excursion

4.00I was very keen to see the birdlife, so it was a bit disappointing to find they had already moved on. Other travellers should note the season, but otherwise an excellent exploration of the northeast coast.

5.00We had a lovely day with Alan, the tour guide. He was very friendly and informative and relaxed. Flexibly changed the tour around to have us visit the best places according to the weather forecast. Good assortment of walking and not walking, if you wanted to. We had lovely weather, in fact, and so the views were great - my pictures have lovely blue skies! Kept totally to time. Mini bus was comfortable.

5.00I decided to take a tour along the northeast coast of Scotland. Our guide Darrel although new to the company, was fun and kind. The tour did not disappoint. Yes, it was pas Puffin season and no dolphins were about , but the scenery on a bright last August day was breathtaking. Had some of the best Cullen skank and found homemade tablet not to mention the scones! The tour took us to Slains Castle, ruins yes but the still beautiful!
