thank you wendi, all was so lovely🫶
Dusty for ever;)
We loved to be with our Guide Dusty! It was just great! He gave us a lot of good information about Edinburough and its surroundings. He was a very good guide who we can highly recommend :-)
Great tour with Dusty!!
Great day with Dusty as our driver/guide. Learned a lot and really enjoyed the day!
Amazing especially for family!
This was amazing tour! One of the biggest reason, our guide Wendi was well informed. She shared many historical tid bits with us along the way to/from each of the sites! Super friendly & easy going personality. The castles were beautiful with so much activity available to do on site. The surrounding town was quaint& cozy. Weather was great today, a little sprinkle of rain but it cleared up quickly. Well recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a little scenery outside of Edinburgh!
Amazing! See where Harey Potted was filmed.
It was truly a pleasure to experience such a delightful and well-organized excursion. Our guide Paul provided fascinating insights that made every moment of the journey feel special. Exploring the historic castles offered a wonderful perspective on the rich local heritage. Every detail of the trip was managed with great care and professionalism. Your dedication to creating a memorable experience for guests is sincerely appreciated.
