A day in a bus, and some castles

4.00Good tour if you want to see few places in the West, but that is limited to three castles and a quick lunch in a small village. Our driver / guide did a great job trying to keep us alive with some stories and music but all in all... everything is far away from Edi so prepare yourselves to spend a day in a bus.

5.00It was an interesting experience for us as it’s our first trip to Scotland and the highland glens and lochs were stunning. Kieran our tour guide was engaging and drove well on the narrow countryside roads. He also played a good mix of Celtic music. Doune Castle was the highlight being an Outlander fan and all. Meeting Harry Coos was also a plus point. Will recommend
Our high in the highlands and so much more!

5.00We wouldn’t have a tour guide by any other name…Rose was fantastic. She was passionate, knowledgeable and entertaining. Her authenticity was very refreshing. The history she told was often not so savoury but she told it truthfully and delightfully. We highly recommend this tour because it touched on all major points of interest: highlands, lochs and castles. Doune Castle was incredible. We also appreciated stopping at points not planned in the tour with an opportunity to take pics of other castles and see the highland coos. This made for a very rounded and colourful experience. And the music Rose played during this tour was beautiful and very suited to this enjoyable and memorable time in Scotland. We would definitely do this again! Bravo Rose from the only Canadians on board.
