Bus tour of Scotland - Very well presented information. Ian, the driver and guide, was passionate about his country and what we were going to see. Enjoyable tour

Great! - Chloe was a great driver and guide! Even after we waited, a half an hour in Glasgow for a group of 10 that didn’t show up! Trained in drama and a self-described history nerd! She really knew her history!

Best tour in the UK! - We did a few guided tours in the UK and this was the best of them all! Hugh was awesome and has extensive knowledge on Scotland and it's history. We passed beautiful, breathtaking views and Hugh was kind enough to stop/slow down for amazing pictures. He had us engaged and entertained throughout the day. Highly recommend his guided tour - don't miss it!

Oban - Sorry it was canceled, hope to rejoin November 1 or 2nd. Please respond, thank you. The price point is excellent, and these are places I can’t really go easily from Edinburgh as a solo traveler.

Good but a bit dull - This trip was cancelled & I was offered an alternative. I booked the Rosslyn chapel tour. It was informative, but a tiny bit dull. We paid for all the entrance fees so I felt that the trip was a bit pricy to include only the bus & the guide tbh. But The guide & driver Keith were a delight.

Reached Inveraray Castle at 4pm. Just when the castle was closing for visiting. - We went on this tour with the specific desire to visit Inveraray Castle Paul (the tour driver who told us his life story the whole time of the tour) reached Inveraray Castle at 4pm. Just when the castle was closing for visiting. It was very sad to take this tour and the only wish we had was to visit the only attraction we reached so late.
