Best Tour Ever – Thanks to Lewis!

5.00We had an absolutely amazing two-day tour with Lewis! From start to finish, everything was seamless and comfortable. Lewis customized an itinerary to include a visit to my husband’s ancestral town, which made the trip incredibly meaningful. Along the way, we explored the breathtaking Northwest Highlands, Loch Ness, St Andrews, and Inverness—each stop brought fascinating history to life thanks to Lewis’s deep knowledge and engaging storytelling. He went above and beyond, from finding us the perfect hotel to ensuring we had dinner at the best local spots. Traveling in comfort while learning so much made this the best trip we’ve ever taken. If you’re considering a tour of Scotland, you won’t have a better guide!
Amazing tour company!

5.00We did a two day tour of Scotland with Lewis and it was amazing! He taught us a lot about Scottish history and personalized the tour for what we wanted to see as a family. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time and he is also a photographer so he took some amazing family photos for us.
Lewis was absolutely...

5.00Lewis was absolutely fantastic. He was so accommodating for whatever we wanted to do and fitting it all in the timeframe. Gave us great recommendations for other things to do around Edinburgh as well.
Great day to St. Andrews and other sites

5.00Lewis provided us with a great day to St Andrews, as well as some unplanned welcome extra stops. We asked for a change to the itinerary during the trip and he found us a distillery tour that was worthwhile. He has a great demeanor, entertaining and knowledgeable.
A great day with an excellent guide!

5.00This was my FAVORITE tour of the three we did while staying in Edinburgh. While they were all great, this one was so personalized to my family. Lewis & John were awesome tour guides with tons of historical knowledge as well as a GREAT sense of humor. Dunnottar castle was our favorite castle of the many we got to see & tour. Can’t recommend this tour enough!
Beautiful day to remember

5.00It was a tailor-made journey with a fantastic travel guide, Lewis. He not only showed me the coastline but also indulged me with local stories and a balanced amount of history. HIghly recommended.
Highlight of our UK visit

5.00We chose this tour because of the locations it would hit and the awesome price. It delivered on both, but we didn’t expect our guide Lewis to be an even better aspect of it! Can’t overstate how kind, amenable and knowledgeable he was. Dunnottar and St Andrew’s were incredible, and made only more so by the company and information he gave us. Can’t recommend this company enough!
Highly recommend this tour
