5.00Wonderful excursion with Simon. He went above and beyond when he found we were interested in some things not on the itinerary. Would definitely do this again.
Great tour guide, incredible views

5.00Our tour guide Shak was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. He knew so much about the history of the places we visited and drove through. We had some extra time so he made a bonus stop to see some Highland cows. The views were unforgettable and it was lovely to sit back and enjoy the ride rather than try to drive ourselves.
Not to good

2.00Tour was just ok for 700.00. Scone was a nice visit but the rest of it was average The driver was not the local Scottish guide that we were hoping for and he was often difficult to understand. The car was way too small and I had difficulty getting in and out, we were dropped for lunch at a place that wasn’t much more than a diner. The driver was very cordial and accommodating but for 700 US dollars the tour was not even close to worth it. I definitely would not recommend this tour.
