Mercedes made the excursion a unique experience over time! - Although you can back out of a 12-hour excursion, this has undoubtedly been the best immersion into Scottish history and culture over time. And the jewel of the trip: MERCEDES!!!!! Like a true radio presenter, with Scottish music subtly prepared for each occasion, she told us the Scottish story where her protagonists came to life and we could almost see them in action through the windows.
His extensive and prepared knowledge of Scottish culture, both cinematographically and musically speaking, also delighted us with true musical gems that made reference to films that had been recorded at each of the points where we passed.
He explained absolutely everything we were seeing in a fun way and with many details, making the trip an authentic experience that was even short.
How LUCKY we are to have had MERCEDES with us who, at least for me, made me love, feel and live a little closer to a country that I knew little about.

Mercedes, an exceptional guide - On this wonderful excursion, we were lucky to have Mercedes as a guide. He captivated us with his love of the country and his stories, told with a voice that makes you want to listen more and more. She is wonderful and when we return to Scotland I hope we can meet her again. A 20 out of 10 from the canaries who went with you to the Highlands on 12/29/2023

This tour of the Highlands is a dream. Unmissable and out of the ordinary, with landscapes that leave you breathless - 1000000 stars for the best tour and for Fernando, the best guide! Without words... We had the miracle of a beautiful climate (Fer couldn't believe it because we live in something atypical), almost everything was clear, it never rained, landscapes painted purple by the heather that we just happened to see...
Fer did it BRUTAL, truly brutal, my respects. He made the tour PERFECT. We love his humor (we laughed all the way) and what an interesting, dynamic, fun and engaging way to tell everything about the Highlands: history, clans, geography, Scottish Gaelic, facts, EVERYTHING we needed to know (where to eat, recommendations, etc.), in addition to telling us about the movies/series filmed there and playing Scottish music related to what he was talking about (I already downloaded several and already made a list of movies, by the way).
The tour felt very light, not at all heavy/tiring despite being 12 hours, which we didn't even feel because we couldn't stop paying attention for even a second to everything Fer talked about, to the magical places we visited and the imposing landscapes. that we saw through the window. I would repeat a thousand more times. Thank you very much and congratulations, Fer and Travel through Scotland! Everything perfect and excellent organization.

Unforgettable and endearing excursion through the Scottish Highlands - Extraordinary excursion through the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness; beautiful landscapes, charming little towns. Manu, our guide-driver, wonderful, charming, always very attentive. Absolute professionalism. Excellence in your professional performance; He made the trip very enjoyable for us. A wealth of knowledge; Absolutely endearing, our guide. This excursion is absolutely recommended, because, even though there are many kilometers of road, thanks to the extraordinary good work and professionalism of our guide-driver, Manu, for me, in particular, the excursion did not seem long at all. Very good time control. My congratulations to Manu and Scotland Tours (in Spanish) for having people of great human quality and extraordinary professionalism among their employees. Without a doubt, I would repeat again!

Beautiful landscapes and lakes with a great guide - The excursion has been beautiful. The landscapes and lakes of Scotland are incredible and the theoretically least “fun” part, which is the bus, our guide and driver Fran has made it super entertaining (he even made us sing!)
Thank you very much Fran!!
