    The Scottish Royal tour was excellent, as was our tour guide Linda and driver Mark. There were about 26 in our group, which made getting acquainted pretty easy. Name tags helped, too. The tour itinerary was great.

    This is an absolutely perfect tour. And our tour guide Linda and our driver Mark made the experience exceptional. All of the hotels are beautiful and food is excellent. All of experiences are fantastic, and are included in the price of the tour. Nothing was additional in cost, which is very different from the Globus tour we are currently on in London, where everything seems to be additional. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. You see so much and you cover nearly the whole country. The only thing that would make it better would be more time on the Isle of Skye. But I understand that there will be a different tour next year that will include that. And it will add on two extra days. There is not one thing that I would do to make this tour better other than more time in Skye. Castles, history, sheepdog experience, beautiful scenery… It includes it all.

    Accommodations were wonderful, and I very much enjoyed the meals provided. We enjoyed someone else driving through the occasionally narrow roads. Mark has nerves of steel, and some very good stories of his own. Allan also has a birding hobby, as well as some experience with flora and fauna, because I will ask those questions. This is a busy tour. There is not a lot of "down time"; but you are able to see so much along the drive. Bring one pair of shoes for walking, usually uneven streets and occasionally rough terrain. Bring one more pair for evenings if you want to be slightly dressier. **Arrive the day before the tour begins, as it begins in the early morning.**
