Traveler reviews
Loved it!
Rich is a really good time. Had a blast hanging with him all day. Great experience.
10/10
Tour was great. Lots of cool sites and Esme was an incredible tour guide—she added a ton of value to the tour, so very grateful she was part of it. Oo and congrats on the marriage!!
Great time all around
We really enjoyed our tour with Esme this past week!! She was so quirky and full of energy and fun facts, it made the tour so much more enjoyable. We decided to book this tour for the length as we were a bit worried about the long 12-13 hour tours, but in retrospect I kind of wish we had done the longer one. While this tour was fantastic, showing off much of the beauty of Scotland, meeting some coos, learning about whiskey, and stopping for lunch in the most beautiful quaint town and eating along the water, oh and the gorgeous nature hike! I just felt like something was missing from this tour and I don't know what it was. If it would have been possible to see a castle in this mix maybe instead of the kelpies, that may have made me feel like I got more of a Scottish experience.
Great tour, viator not do much!
The guide was fun & energetic. She a decent knowledge of the area. Very friendly l! When we got there we had to pay more for the whiskey tour. Ridiculous on Viators part!
