Amazing and family friendly

5.00We had a phenomenal tour with Colin! We enjoyed learning about history and traveling all over Scotland. We saw the coos, Loch Ness, Highlands, Glencoe, and more, and we enjoyed a dram of whiskey at the Three Sisters. Colin was awesome with our three kiddos, and the vehicle was well supplied with tasty treats for everyone to snack on. I honestly can’t believe how much we were able to see and do, and the time flew by! 100/10. Thank you Colin!

5.00Our family of 7, including young children through grandparents booked this tour. Our driver Shak was absolutely amazing! Not only was he accommodating for all ages, but he was an incredible tour guide. He stopped at all the major sites from Edinburgh to Loch Ness. He really catered the tour to what we wanted to do. He made a great suggestion for dinner at this small restaurant on the way back, which was perfect for all of us. He was so informative, answering all our questions. He was also wonderful with the kids. I would highly recommend hiring Shak for any tour in Scotland!

5.00We had a great experience in this private tour. Everything was exceptional, Ayvin was before the scheduled time so we started on time (perfect!), always in touch, and during the day he takes care about everything: service stops, questions, information. In the tour we had snacks and water (excellent!). Congratulations!!! We definitely will recomend to book this tour and company!!!

5.00Ross made sure we were well taken care of. I had forgotten my coat and he gave me his. We learned the history, language, and little quirky stories about all areas of Scotland. He is a superb guide

5.00I have been to Edinburgh before and throughout the Highlands. This time I was bringing my parents along and I had very specific ideas of what I wanted them to see. Not only did Jami accommodate that, but he added some fun things I had not seen along the way. He made sure to keep us on schedule while also adding facts we really enjoyed about Scottish history and the landmarks themselves. He knew all the best spots and angles for photos and helped us create many memories. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely book him again!

5.00The day was truly fantastic! Ross made us feel so comfortable and kept us entertained the entire day! Loved seeing the Coos! Ross truly made this trip! We stopped at so many locations! Ross was so knowledgeable with history and the sites. I loved Loch Ness which we had lunch overlooking the entire Loch - a nice place at the end of the path by the small lighthouse! Ross also made a stop for us at Doune Castle and being an Outlander fan it was just amazing! The Kelpies were also amazing - seeing them in person and up close is a must! I can’t even believe we had a 12 hour tour - we were so happy with our day - we weren’t even tired! We saw so many places and half weren’t even mentioned in the tour! Totally worth it! Such a beautiful country! I have to give a lot of credit to Ross because he really made our day!
