  • Incredible Day in Scotland - Thank you Jimmy!!!

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    I wish I could give Jimmy more than five stars—this was truly one of the best experiences of our trip. The day was long, but so incredibly worth it. We booked the tour last minute the night before, and Jimmy still drove all the way to Edinburgh to pick us up at our hotel with almost no notice. From start to finish, everything was seamless. We were able to see so much, yet never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore at each stop. The drive itself flew by because Jimmy shared so much fascinating history about Scotland and was more than happy to answer every question we had about Scottish culture and the places we visited. His knowledge and storytelling made the entire experience even more special. What really set Jimmy apart was how much he went above and beyond for us. We mentioned we’d be renting a car the next day, and he took the time to teach us the rules of the road and give us incredibly helpful driving tips. He also made sure we were comfortable all day—stopping for bathrooms whenever needed, taking us to a great pub, and even surprising us with snacks, drinks, and a whiskey tasting while we explored The Three Sisters. Jimmy took such great care of us, and it honestly felt like we were traveling with a friend. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly, highly recommend!

  • Exploring Scottish Castles and Highlands on Boxing Day

    Asa S,Dec 28, 2025

    Jimmy is an excellent tour guide. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable about Scottish history. We enjoyed visiting several castles and the Kelpies statues, but the highlight was seeing the majestic beauty of the highlands and the three sisters of Glencoe. Because it was Boxing Day, all the castles were closed, but Jimmy showed us what he could. Jimmy picked us up at 7:30 am and drove us around for 11 hours. He had variety of snacks for us in the car, and he stopped twice for a chance to buy a sandwich or use the toilet. I appreciated that he kept us in a tight schedule, which allowed us to get to the highlands just before sunset. Since it was wintertime, sunset was around 3:45 pm. We got back to Edinburgh around 7:00 pm. It was an excellent day trip, I would recommend this tour to other travelers.

    My daughter and I had a wonderful time with Jimmy. He is fun, personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot! We packed in so many experiences, from Linlithgow Palace, the Kelpies, Sterling Castle, Falls of Dochart, The Three Sisters, and a delicious dinner in Glencoe. There were lots of nice surprises from Jimmy, a taste of delicious smoked cheese, taking fun photos of us, and some delicious whiskey at the Three sisters. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Scotland. Thank you Jimmy for making our trip so special.

    An absolutely highlight of our trip! Jimmy was incredible, we ended up on a private tour with him, he’s an excellent driver, kept us stocked with water and snacks, always asked about bathroom breaks, and gave us great history and answered all our questions. He even surprised us with a glass of whiskey after dinner at our last stop (the three sisters I’ll attach a photo if I can). By the end we felt like we had made a new friend! Thank you Jimmy!!

    Highly recommend this tour with Jimmy. He was such a good time and a great laugh. He was very knowledgeable about Highland history. Plan on getting cozy if you are on the tour with another couple but would absolutely do it again.
