A Wonderful and Interesting Tour of Scotland!

We had a really wonderful time on this tour! Everything was very well organised, and our guide was fantastic – extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and full of humour, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. All the places we visited, including Stirling Castle and Rosslyn Chapel, were fascinating and well worth seeing. Rosslyn Chapel was definitely one of the highlights of the tour for us. Such a beautiful and interesting place! The only small downside was that the music played on the bus was very loud, and the bus’s sound system did not handle it particularly well, making it uncomfortably loud and causing the speakers to crackle. Apart from that, everything was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A great day filled with history, beautiful sights, and good humour. Highly recommended!

Scottish holiday

I'm not good at doing reviews. It always comes down to the tour guide who really makes or breaks a tour. Much of this tour was pretty much on your own. The driver/guide gets you there, cuts you lose and tells you when to be back. That was not Alex. Yes he drove us from place to place but he constantly interjected and entertained with his humourous banter and his knowledge of the site we were to visit and giving little tips on how best to use the time to see each site.
