Traveler reviews
Great tour!!
Tour is great a wish it was longer,Nicki it’s a great tour guide and grand human been!
Fantastic 3 day tour - thank Rich.
Our guide was amazing. Rich really knew his stuff and was always very aware of our safety. I loved the way Rich shared his deep knowledge of culture, history, geography and mythology -delivered with his unique humour and turn of phrase. The weather was poor, but no matter - Rich made it irrelevant. Thank you for a great 3 days.
Rich is the best tourguide in Scotland!
Our guide Rich is super friendly and knowledgeable (and he has impressive driving skills). I wasn’t that talkative and he started to call me Ma’am haha but you can see how respectful and considerate he is to us. My stream train experience was delayed and unfortunately I was unable to hop on the train due to the tour’s time constraints. However, Rich provided the fastest and clearest instructions as he could. The comany also sent us an email on same day regarding the issue. The itinerary that was sent to me before the trip was unclear. I think it is better to include the stops that we will be staying and the estimated travel time between each stops. The third day was a bit of a rush with a lot of driving time. Would be nice if we could put some stops from day 1 to day 3. Gathering could be improved too. We were standing at High Street for 20 minutes with the rubbish truck cleaning the streets just beside us. Overall, it is an amazing tour and I am glad that I joined this! Thanks so much Rich!
Amazing country try & top shelf guide!
Amazing guide who was so fun and made such a great warm group atmosphere that helped us to bond as a group…yet he also gave us plenty of space to enjoy our free time…we were dissapointed that the hogwarts train was cancelled though this was beyond Rich’s control & he handled it like a pro & got us right back on track. Loved the music, especially loved the highland Coos stop - a terrific human and wonderful stops along the way! A true journey!
A rainy dream
Our guide Rich brought us to an incredible tour of the most fascinating places in Scotland and told us many stories and legends, creating the best atmosphere. The value for money and the length of visit are perfect, you’ll be satisfied. So, good places and good music on the bus. When he says “ok?” you say “AYE!” 🏴 Thank you Rich also for letting us feed the coos!🫶🏻
