5.00Fabulous tour! Kenny did the right balance of engaging with us at the right times and leaving us be at others. We saw a lot, but Kenny kept us on time which was greatly appreciated! A must do for those who want to see Scotland beyond the cities.

5.00Pete was our tour guide and the consummate professional. He was informative and personable, teaching us about Scottish history from pop culture to the lesser known. He even recommended an authentic lunch spot in Inverary and joined us for laughs and delightful conversation. It’s clear that Pete takes pride in providing an EXCELLENT tour experience for his guests, picking us up from Glasgow and completely customizing a highlands tour before dropping us off at our AirBNB in Edinburgh - he even provided Scottish sweets and carrots to engage the hairy cows. It feels more like we enjoyed an immersive experience hosted by a good friend!

5.00Rowan and Andy are AMAZING! They are knowledgeable, kind, and have an incredible sense of humor making the hours spent on the road together all the better. We did the Loch Lomond tour and a tour of the highlands where they even picked us up in Braemar to drive us back down to Edinburgh. Seeing the Highland Games parade, eating at mhor 84, and petting a “coo” were our highlights. Rowan made us feel at home in Scotland and we’ve definitely gained a lifelong friend in the process! We cannot refer them highly enough!
Terrible Service Provider

1.00One of our worst tour excursion ever, the driver was very unprofessional, car air conditioning wasn’t working. The driver kept on cribbing about some partner fee being 25% so as they don’t get paid. He also mentioned that the designated cab (Mercedes) was out of order and had to be in another car. Very rash driving with speed limits of approximately 170-180 miles per hour. Very rude and unprofessional attitude of the driver totally not work spending 500 - 700 GBP for such sort of professionals. Need to have strict action against the same as was with entire family with such an unpleasant experience. Also would like to interact with the local team for the refund of such sort of bad serviced tour.
This tour is the way to go.

5.00Andy was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to some memorable places and the spot we went for lunch was fabulous! We hit quite a bit of traffic on our way up to the Highlands since it was such a beautiful day coupled with an accident, but that was beyond anyone’s control. We just made an extra stop for a quick respite break. A major highlight for me was the opportunity to meet and feed some Highland cows. This private tour is definitely worth the investment.
