5.00We had a stunning day with Handy Andy! Showed us all the nice places in the Highlands. Andy is a very nice, easy going person. Tells you everything you want to know, and more! Great storyteller. No effort is too much. And on top of that he brought a quite enjoyable Jura whisky. We couldn't have asked for more. Net time we'll book Caley pines again for sure, highly recommended!

5.00We had a briljant day with Andy. He took us from Edinburgh to Sterling castle, to Doune castle and to the Highlands all the way up to Glenncoe. Andy is a very friendly, likeable and funny person. He knows everything about Scotland and it’s history and shares his knowledge with his guests. He did everything to give us the best day possible and we enjoyed every minute of it. I would definitly recommend him as a tour guide to everybody i know. His price was also much cheaper than the other tours we looked at. All and all a fantastic day to remember!
Fantastic tour by Andy!

A Perfect Day with Caley Pines Tours

5.00We had an absolutely perfect day traveling from the Greenock Port to Paisley with Andy. We were greeting with his infectious smile and transported in a comfortable, spotless van to Paisley. Andy created a custom tour for our family, consisting of eight adults, and took us to our childhood home, where we walked down memory lane (literally). He stopped at our church and a few other locations we had requested. Andy coordinated with Paisley Tours and we enjoyed a two hour walking tour of our home town, it was the most memorable day of our British Isles cruise. Andy stopped at a few other point of interest on the way back to the ship and played music from a local artist that we all enjoyed. We will definitely reach out to Andy next time our travels take us back to Scotland and enjoy another awesome day with the best tour guide in Scotland!
Best Scottish Tours Ever! Andy is the BEST!

5.00I had the most amazing time with Andy, our tour guide in Scotland. He took us all around and even made our tour even more special by surprising us with highland cows, a stop for snacks at local bakeries and local Scottish restaurants. He also even pointed out Game of Thrones filmings areas and turned the car around just to make our tour even more special. He also played amazing Scottish music and we were all singing along in the car. Andy is the best Scottish tour guide I have ever had in my journey all throughout the UK and he honestly treated us like genuine friends, not just tourists. :) Next time I go to Scotland I will only be booking with Andy and I can't wait to go back!

5.00Our family had the best time with Andy on our tour! He was knowledgeable with the history and was able to personalize our Highlands tour, making us feel part of the Scottish culture. He made the trip fun for our kids and was able to capture some great photos of our family. It was a fantastic day and one of the best tours that we have ever been on. Thank you, Andy, for taking the time to get to know us to make it an absolutely perfect day! We can't wait to come back for a visit.
Glencoe is a very beautiful part of Scotland that must be seen to be appreciated.
