    We loved our guides and our drivers!! They were excellent!! Loved everything we saw. Our only downside was that it was a little rushed for us. We understand that you want to give good value for the cost, but we would have been ok with seeing one or two less attractions and a little more time at some others. We were pretty wiped out by the end. But overall loved the experience!

    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.
