Wonderful experience of the Kingdom of Northumberland with our host and guide, Connor. - We had a wonderful day visiting Holy Island and Alnwick Castle. Connor was our driver and host. In addition to his very amusing anecdotes, he was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Scotland. Connor kept us all interested and engaged with the local history and points of interest. We would love to join another tour that Connor is leading.

Great trip - Mark was great. We moved this tour and would do it again. We had done a 12 hour tour while on vacation with a different company and liked that this wasn't an all day event.

A lovely walk on the beach - We visited a beautiful beach on Holy Island near the Snook, it was miles of flat beach and was almost deserted except for the wild birds .
