Amazing tour! - We had an amazing time visiting all the sites. Standing stones were amazing and James gave us awesome ideas for photos. He was full of knowledge and answered all questions. He also gave us great recommendations for places to eat in Glasgow.

Scottish Highlands Dream Day! - Daniel gave us an insider day filled with castles, a church, graveyard, standing stones and burial mounds, plenty of stops, and stories for all of them. This was my favorite tour in two weeks!

Another Terrific Scotland's Wild Adventure - Before too much time passes since my return from Scotland, I wanted to share how much I thoroughly enjoyed my second – and most recent - trip with Scotland’s Wild. I had pre-booked the Standing Stones, Inveraray Castle, and Kilchurn Castle tour from Glasgow for early June. However, with concerns about some unexpected knee mobility issues I developed during the first 10 days of my trip in Edinburgh, I worried that might affect my ability to fully enjoy the tour. A call to John at Scotland’s Wild reassured me that it wouldn’t be a problem with their vehicles—and I’m so glad he did. For it turned out to be one of the loveliest tours I’ve ever experienced. From Matt’s cheerful morning welcome and his thoughtful introductions, to the way he shared historical insights—not just about our destinations, but also about the places we passed along the way—he kept us both informed and entertained throughout the journey. The occasional interludes of Highland music during quiet moments, as we gazed out at the beautiful scenery from our windows, added a sentimental touch of atmosphere to an already memorable day. I’d be remiss to not also highlight Matt’s impressive skill in navigating the winding roads and maneuvering around unexpected vehicle obstacles at certain points — his driving expertise truly cannot be overstated for which he received enthusiastic recognition from the passengers. As for the sites themselves, I was especially pleased to revisit Inveraray Castle—the skies that day provided ideal conditions for photographing the gardens. The Standing Stones portion of the tour exceeded my expectations, and the walk to Kilchurn Castle was everything I had hoped for. While I had viewed the castle from a distance in 2023, this time I was able to get up close and personal, as the saying goes. All in all, it was a truly wonderful day with Scotland's Wild - thanks in no small part to their considerate vehicle planning, and Matt’s attentive and enthusiastic presence throughout the journey. I am so glad, I did not miss it. Kate from Toronto.

Intimate Highlands journey - Cal was an outstanding guide; knowledgeable, friendly and fun! The small group format is perfect for good conversation and really getting a chance to personalize the tour. Specifically, the 3 main areas complemented one another well. Inverary was excellent current and recent history. The standing stones were great ancient history with a hint of mystery and Kilchurn castle and the valley were Breathtaking and amazing ruins.

A day in the Highlands - Daniel and Cat were excellent hosts and guides. They patiently answered questions and gave us so much information. Even in the rain it was a wonderful experience. It was a long day covering many miles and many experiences.

Fun and Diverse Tour - Standing Stone, Castless, and Highlands was an excellent tour combining different aspects of Scotland. The standing stones visit was the best part, but the castles weren’t bad, especially the gardens of Inverarary Castle. It was Scottish spring and the rhododendron were all blooming! James was an entertaining host and excellent driver, especially dealing with traffic on a beautiful Sunday when all of Scotland was on our road. This was a great and informative tour. He also gave us a recommendation for an excellent whisky tasting experience in Glasgow. Alas, James sadly avoids blended whisky. There are some good ones James, be open minded! As an additional note on service, one of the guests on our tour lost his phone and suspected it was left behnd at Inverary Castle. James offered to return to the castle, but the guest didn’t want that. James called the castle repeatedly, but couldn’t get anyone to pick up. However, Experience Scotland’s Wild did not give up. They eventually made contact with the castle and were able to return the phone to the guest two days later. Service above and beyond!

Great taste of a few sides of the historic and natural sights of the Western Highlands - Despite staying in Glasgow without a car, I was really interested in getting out to the Highlands to see Neolithic landscapes and other historic sites. This day trip was exactly what I needed to be able to see a little bit of that part of Scotland as well as the natural scenery and a nice combination of standing and ruined castles. I liked that the tour let us get out and stretch our legs a bit to see the sights. Daniel and Jennie were also great guides—friendly, informative, and enthusiastic. (Also humble when they didn’t know something, which is a great quality in guides!) Excellent day trip!!
