- MMMary· September 5th, 2025The itinerary was exactly what was promised. Both tour guides were exceptional, knowledgeable and funny too! There were one or two places we stayed we didn’t love; the B&B in Kirkwall and the Balmacara Hotel. Otherwise, it was a great trip, the other folks on the bus were awesome, the scenery was unbelievable and the pace gave us time to enjoy the stops. We wish we had gotten into Kirkwall and Ullapool a bit earlier so we had time to look around the towns but it’s always a trade off.Show more
On The Go Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the itinerary, scenery, and guides, and appreciate your comments about the accommodations and timing — it’s always a balance, but we’re pleased the trip was otherwise great. - On the Go ToursTrip date: August 2025 - Liz· August 30th, 2025I 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 tourShow moreOn The Go Tours commented on this reviewWonderful to hear you enjoyed the small group experience and both drivers made the trip so memorable. We’re thrilled the Orkneys and NC500 left such a great impression. - On the Go ToursTrip date: August 2025

Asked on May 5th, 2025Our goal, for this trip is Duart Castle, Calgary Scotland & Iona. Our families are from Mull & Skye. Are our expectations on Mull possible? After this tour we would like to spend a few days in Ireland.
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written May 2025
As for what you'd like to see, while we visit many castles on this itinerary, we do not specifically stop here. You'd be welcome to take some time pre or post tour to venture to this specific castle, or I can check if there is enough free-time on Day 2 to visit here if you like? You certainly do get to visit Iona which is great!

Asked on May 22nd, 2024How much leg room in the coach. I have long legs and need room for them.
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written May 2024
The coach is set up with 2 seats on one side and 1 on the other and we have a back row with the middle seat offering full legroom down the aisle - we do not have assigned seats however we recommend getting to the bus early and that middle seat would be perfect for the most leg room.
