Standing stones and Highland cows - Guide was very nice and informative and we enjoyed all the stops. We were very excited that we got to make an extra stop to see the Highland cows.

Standing Stones and the Highlands - A Truly Memorable Experience - This was an amazing one-day tour. The Highlands were beautiful, covered in frost. Our guide Jim is passionate about his country and his work. He knows his history and brings it to life throughout the day to help us understand what we are looking at and to put everything into perspective. And he’s a fun guy who I hope will be the guide on my next visit.

Most Excellent! - Our guide was James. One of the friendliest and most knowledgeable guides I have met. Every site, town and loch where we stopped, and almost everything we drove by had a story he knew. If you are fortunate enough to have James for your guide, be sure to ask him to tell the story of Clan Campbell, The Stone of Destiny, Robert the Bruce and ask for the song, Loch Lomond, on the return trip by the loch. His knowledge and entertaining way of telling history made this all day tour a favorite that I will hope to repeat. And thank you, James, for telling us about the Ceilidh. We will be looking for one now 😊

Perfect combination of spectacular scenery, standing stones and castles - I was so excited to find this tour which included standing stones, burial mounds, incredible scenery, along with two castles. It didn’t disappoint; our guide, Lauren, was absolutely exceptional. Full of knowledge, funny stories and a real sense of adventure. Cannot recommend highly enough! It was a fabulous day, so glad we did the tour!

Tramping highland glens and bracken bens - The top guide James was fabulous. He had a cold on the day but was bright, cheery and super congenial. We loved the insights he (and two other guides who were in training) offered. We were glad we picked this trip as we were able to see four lochs (maybe 5), castles, and extremely old standing stones plus cairns. So nice not having to drive - instead both my wife and I were able to enjoy the scenery and the several short walks we took. The Scottish Highlands are beautiful! I loved James's explanation of the Loch Lomond song near the end of our tour - sad but endearing.
