Maggie, our tour guide was excellent. She handled a delay due to a traffic accident very well. This was a very fun tour, and Maggie was so good at ensuring we all had the best experience.

It was a nice tour of good coverage of the Lowlands from Glasgow to St. Andrew’s and back. The Kelpie Horses were amazing. Falkland was quaint, and wish we’d had more time at St. Andrew’s but road construction/slower traffic in am cost us some time

It was a great experience. Small bus 14 of us which was nice. We had time for all the sites. Would have liked a bit more time in the little town of Falkland. Wish I would have known some of outlander was filmed there. I definitely don’t think the last stop was needed. The 4 bridges was boring and a waste of time.
excellent experience

It was a great experience. Weather was an issue, but can't help that. There was plenty of time to do what you wanted to do. Never felt rushed
Great Tour!

GREAT tour! I absolutely loved St. Andrews and definitely could’ve spent more time there. I really liked how the tour allowed for a lot of time for us to explore on our own - about 3 hours. Besides the Kelpies, it would be nice to eliminate all other stops and add even more time to St. Andrews. Definitely get gelato at Jannetta’s Gelateria and guard it from seagulls trying to steal a bite!
