5.00Amazing! Imran gave us a fun, extensive, and beautiful tour! He was flexible on the schedule and was able to pivot if weather wasn’t cooperating. The van was spacious and he provided plenty of water and local snacks. He really embodies Scottish hospitality. What an amazing way to see the beautiful highlands when we were only in Scotland for a day. HIGHLY recommend!
Awesome Views

5.00Excellent tour of the Western Highlands with an outstanding guide (Thank you Jimmy!). Tour catered to needs and preferences on a whim, as we looked to seek out points of interest associated with our family ancestry. Even if you don’t have your own ideas, the itinerary is fantastic. Tour included plenty of scenery, castles, shopping and food opportunities. Very grateful for this awe inspiring experience that allowed us to chase Clan and family lineage across the Scottish Highlands.

5.00While visiting some friends in Glasgow they suggested we take a tour up the west coast, so we found these guys and they were just fantastic. Really knew their stuff and went above and beyond to accommodate us. I can’t wait to bring the family over to take them on a tour. Ten out of ten!

5.00We highly recommend this tour. We took family who were visiting from the USA and everyone had a truly wonderful time. The tour plan is perfect, showing off some great parts of Scotland. Our guide, Alex was fun, knowledgable and a great driver. We can’t wait for more family to visit so we can go again.
