Amazing tour through Scotland - The bus tour through Scotland was very exciting, as well as educational and interesting. We learned a great deal about Scotland's history, peculiarities, and legends. Our driver (Adam)'s presentations not only demonstrated excellent knowledge but were also delivered with a wonderful sense of humor. Even though the typically British weather wasn't exactly inviting, it was still nice to be able to return to the warm bus after each stop. Overall, the trip was a success, and I can definitely recommend it.

Amazing - We took the tour while our class trip to Edinburgh and it was amazing!
Adam was such a nice guy and funny too. We saw a lot and he always tried to stop or wait when we wanted to see something.
We had truly a great time.

Scotland Highlands in. Day! - This was a wonderful day trip through Scotland. We visited castles and toured the beautiful Highlands. Even though it was a drizzly day (be ready for that!), we had a lovely time. Our tour guide Linda was informative, friendly and funny - the best sort of guide. Castle Inveraray was the highlight for us, being big Downton Abbey fans. I highly recommend this great tour.

Forget this company unless you have short legs. - If you are over about 5'10" tall, don't bother booking a tour with this company. They will cram you and 15 other people into a van with no leg room for a 12 hour day. I actually could not sit in the seats on the van at 6'2" tall and was refused a refund even tho I was unable to safely sit in a seat and use a seatbelt for safety. Very rude and unprofessional management. Stay away.
