    The 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.
