  Overall, it was a great experience. I only have a couple comments. The hotel where we stayed in Inverness was ridiculous. It was right in the middle of town on a busy street, across from several bars. It was noisy and I (and several others) did not get much sleep. Please don't use this hotel again. The Scottish Evening add-on was NOT worth the money. The venue was pretty shoddy, food was mediocre. It seemed like there was pressure for everyone on the tour to sign up. The distillery tour was hot, and it was very hard to hear the guide. Also, I believe the add-on to Dunnottar Castle should have been included in the original package. Our guide Matthew was very knowledgeable. I feel that we learned a lot of history. I would take another Globus Tour.

  Beautiful weather most of the time. Charlie was a great guide and gave us very informative commentary. Dave a very competent and safe driver. Tour group a bit large but a nice bunch...mainly Anerican. Some places a bit rushed. Woukd have liked more if Inverness and less of St Andrews. Final meal a bit disapointing but On the whole a great tour

  The tour started fine; more time in Glasgow would have been better. All we had was a ten-minute bus tour through Glasgow without any information about what was there. At the end of the day, all we got from the tour guide was restaurant suggestions. The travel packet states that we stopped at Loch Ness, but we did not. The tour guide stopped off the road at a parking lot, and we had to walk up a road to look through some bushes and trees and see a partial castle, apparently on Loch Ness. If you were short, you wouldn’t get to see anything. That does not stop at Loch Ness, and the stop at Loch Ness is also listed as a tour highlight for the day, which didn’t happen. There were so many stops we could have made but didn’t. When we stopped at Glenfinnan, the tour guide only talked about the Harry Potter reference, no mention of the Jacobite monument. The tour was constantly filled with Harry Potter references, the guide’s political opinions, and insufficient historical references. No one cares what the tour guide’s political views are; just do your job. Also, at the same stop, it was the only stop with food available, and there was only a little café where several people did not get their orders after they paid, and the tour guide did not care. Some of the people on the tour also missed the monument because the tour guide did not mention it. The Aberdeen Altens Hotel was a complete disaster. The hotel was out in the middle of nowhere. If you didn’t go on the optional excursion, then you were stranded at the hotel with minimal options, such as a pool, where you had to make an appointment to use. It was not available, the hotel had an escape room in the basement which sounds like to beginning of a horror movie, but thankfully it was not open that day, or you could take a taxi where the closet place was a ten minute drive. Still, everything was closed that day, and the taxis don’t drive around the city, so you must remember to take down the number to get back to the hotel. Also, the dinner at this hotel was a disaster; it took over three hours to get through a substandard dinner. The chicken was dry, the potatoes were terrible, the fishcakes were overcooked, and even the dessert was awful. The tour guide didn’t even stay for dinner, and then the following day, she explained that Globus knew about the problem with the amount of time it takes to get dinner and that there was nothing they could do about it. Yes, there is; use a different hotel, location, etc. The fact that this is a known problem and Globus does nothing is despicable. This hotel and location are terrible choices by Globus. The tour of The Royal Yacht Britannia was a waste of time. It seems like it was just a time waster until dinner. Overall, this tour was below satisfactory and not worth the money.

  The trip was well planned out and activities were great. All the hotels were good except the Columba in Inverness. This hotel was awful! The rooms were confusing to find, the locks were broken and the floor was about to cave in! I really enjoyed the trip and the tour guide was outstanding! I will be looking to book another trip soon with Globus!
