This is the Goldilocks Tour, it’s not too long, not too short . . . but just right. - Went on tour with my college-age daughter. Jenny was an excellent guide and driver. She was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and flexible to adjust things when original plans changed. Jenny provided great historical background while on our tour but also provided her own perspectives and experiences as a local. It was beautiful scenery all along the way through but the big highlight was definitely picturesque Loch Lomond. This tour wasn’t grueling 12.5 hours but a more manageably planned 9 hours. Ours was shorter due a smaller group size. You also don’t have the potential for nearly 50 people max like with those big buses but rather 16 tops in a mini bus. It was a much better quality experience without a massive crush of people in the bathroom queues or at lunch spots. Go UK Tours strikes the right balance where you don’t feel like your tour ran you ragged but you still see a good mix of different locations.

Unforgettable tour with Jenny to the highlands!🏴 - We had an amazing time on the Highland Lochs & Glens tour with Jenny, she truly made the experience unforgettable! She was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing not only the history behind every place we visited but also so many fascinating details and funny stories that brought everything to life. You could really feel her passion for Scotland and its heritage. Her energy, humor and storytelling made the journey feel special from beginning to end. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland and I’d happily repeat the experience with Jenny and go tours around Scotland! Thank you Jenny!

Highly recommended - Amazing tour guide John. Great route and itinerary. Very professional as they operated the tour even when it was only my parents and I on the tour. They didn't ask us to pay extra or join another language tour. They don't cancel even if it's only one person on the tour. Excellent company
