Raymond· June 14th, 2025The tour, organised by Royal Irish Tours, gave a great overview of the North Coast of Scotland and the Islands. Our tour guide, Alasdair, was excellent. Being part of a smaller group made the experience much more enjoyable. I've given 5 stars but really it is 4.5. a little has to be deducted because of the accommodation which could have been better. We stayed in three different hotels and 2 of them were disappointing. The third and last one was very good. All the hotels were three star but the consistency in standard was not there. Notwithstanding this point it is a superb tour and I would highly recommend it.Show moreTrip date: June 2025- NTNina· May 24th, 2025Nick and Kevin offered us a fresh and varied experience. Loaded with historical information, funny stories, and witty antidotes, the tour was terrific. We kept to the "schedule" buy Kevin always made sure to add in some of our "must sees".Show moreTrip date: May 2025

Asked on March 22nd, 2025We have a party of 6 adults and are interested in booking your tour. However, one member of our party is 81 years old. The information on this tour states a maximum age of 80. Does that mean we can't book the tour since he is 81 years old?
- Royal Irish ToursOperator•Written March 2025
We have many people of all ages take our tours. All of our tours are leisurely-paced and provide plenty of stops so you are never on the coach for too long. If there is ever a visit you did not wish to participate in, you could opt out, have a coffee in the cafe, etc. Everyone needs to be able to get on and off the coach on their own, the driver and tour manager are not able to assist with this.
