Traveler reviews
A wonderful day out
Duncan our driver made the trip informative and entertaining. We enjoyed his music immensely. His playing to the cows was delightful
Nature and History all wrapped into one!
First, Ryan, my guide crushed it! Friendly, funny and super informative. Tour was at a pretty relaxed pace for a long day with lots of stops. It helped that everyone on the tour was respectful of our return times - we even got back about 30 minutes early. Very much enjoyed the castle, hard to believe it was restored in the 1920’s! The Isle of Syke experience was well balanced, we got to see a little of a lot - again, never felt rushed or that I needed more time anywhere. Highly recommend this tour!
