    The guide was full of history knowledge and very interesting. Could have been a bit more information on meeting places. Tour was good, some hotels were great and one was not good at all.

    We loved all aspects of the tour. There were beautiful, raw landscapes, to experience, as well as education of Scotland's history and culture. Highlights were the site of the Battle of Culloden, sheepdog herding demonstration, the Isle of Skye, and the Spirit of Scotland performance. We appreciated that all restaurants accommodated our vegetarian diet, and the very comfortable hotels. The Scots are impeccably polite and kind.

    The trip was quite fun for the most part, but the schedule was very tight and left very little time for eating, sleeping, and taking in the sights around Scotland.

      Jack

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Since we would need to find a hotel to stay in the night before the tour starts, is the Grand Hotel usually available for making private reservations at if we booked far enough in advance? For families with kids coming is it necessary to book two rooms or do they have larger rooms available for the tour?

    • Royal Irish ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The hotel would be available to book for a pre-night. For anyone with kids they would mostly need 2 rooms. What are the kids ages?
