The guide Valentina was perfect, precise and punctual in the stories and helpful in giving advice of all kinds, rating 10+.
The driver Sandra (Spanish guide) equally friendly and prepared, rating 10+.
Perfect trip, excursion recommended to any type of public.

Scottish castles in one day! - Wonderful visit to never miss the castles during a holiday in Scotland!
Special thanks to our guide Federico who, with sympathy, ease and a lot of preparation, accompanied us for a whole day making the experience pleasant but with a lot of historical and cultural information.
From tour guide to tour guide, thank you very much!

Fantastic! - We want to compliment the preparation that the ScotlandTour guys have. On this trip we took two trips with them. We had Giacomo and Valentina as guides and they were really good and attentive in telling us with dedication what we visited and much more.
We strongly recommend, if you want to gain more knowledge of Scotland, to book visits with ScotlandTour!

Dunnottar and Gamlin - The two castles visited are worth the trip. We participated together in a Spanish group, but Valeria was wonderful in putting us at ease explaining in our own language the wonders of Dunnottar and Gamlin castles.
Thanks Valeria and thanks scoziatour.

Glamis and Dunnottar Castle Tour - The tour was shared between Spaniards and Italians. The bus was small and very narrow. He moved a lot. Not suitable for disabled people. The Spanish Guide (Sandra) went from one topic to another. We were wearing headphones to listen to the Guide but if the neighbors don't shut up you don't hear anything. The unforgettable castles but the trip, a disaster.

Needs improvement -
Good morning ,
My husband and I did the tour with Scozia tour . Unfortunately the tour was a deception to say the least. This was our 4 th tour and it was by far the most unorganized and disappointing. The bus came late while we rush to be there 15 min . The dunnottar castle was cancel due to the weather which I completely I understand. However what I don’t understand, is why bring us to DUNDEES For 45 min when everything was close ….
Then again another 1 hr in stone heaven when everything there was close as well . We had to eat our lunch outside in the cold . No one told us that the bus would be divided into 2 languages..
the music in the bus was very annoying when songs are played several times and not even Scottish music ( like we are in Scotland ) and the end of the trip when we are all tired they stopped at the bridge for a 30 min pic .. I’m guessing they just wanted to make it 10 hrs even if it wasn’t fun. The tour guide are very serious . Wish we had a better experience.. I’m mad because I could have just rented a car and did it on my own.
Glamis castle was beautiful so was the outside of The dunnottar castle ( worth visiting)
