Customer Reviews

    · August 30th, 2025
    I loved the size of the tour as a 16 passenger mini coach. All of the passengers were very friendly and welcoming. The first half of our tour with driver Peter was amazing. He was informative and fun! Even made sure something was special for the day if the weather didn’t quite cooperate. The second half our tour with driver Graeme was amazing too. Lots of history told, even if he said the same thing 2-3 times. He too made sure we saw the amazing sights of the Orkneys & NC500. Overall a fabulous tour

    We had a fantastic tour with an incredibly nice guide who entertained us throughout the trip with fun facts, jokes and nice trips. Only some of the participants knew at which address they would spend the night, and some did not. Fortunately, the guide knew who had to be delivered and picked up at which address but it was a bit strange.

    Asked on May 10th, 2024

    Are there extra fees for a single traveler

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten May 2024

      I can see from your quote you are set up as a solo passenger, therefore the price you have been quoted already includes the single single supplement so there are no extra fees. Our special 25% discount sale ends tomorrow, saving you $1348.
