    Lizzie was awesome! She was well spoken and told a great story. We really enjoyed her. The biggest issue we had was that there was not enough time at Roslyn Chapel. We only had an hour and a half and that was not near enough time. We would rather have had less time in Melrose.

  • Rosslyn and Melrose, Beautiful!

    We had a great trip and saw some lovely Scottish countryside. So much easier to just sit back and let someone else drive. Bryan was a very knowledgeable and personable host.

  • Pleasant day in the countryside

    It’s mostly riding. Not a tour with a lot of activity but the scenery and Kim’s knowledge of basically everything was outstanding. Rosslyn Chapel is Awesome but with no photography allowed, other than the outside, it’s rather hard to share the experience with others
