    The tour was awesome. The tour director was great with the commentary during the bus ride and what to expect at the next stop and the rest of the day. The bus driver was also great driving the very narrow roads to our destinations.

    Kevin, you’re wonderful. So positive and knowledgeable. The overall tour was great. The most disappointing MEAL was served at the Scottish Engineer. Inedible! Almost 200$ for two. The show was okay. The weather did deter us from spending time on the Isle of Skye. We could not see the slaughter field of Culloden as we arrived after hours in the dark due to weather and early sunset. We had many comfort stops. We saw phenomenal views. The hotels were warm, clean, staff was friendly and accommodating.
