Amazing tour of the Highlands with Ryan - Our tour of the Highlands from Edinburgh was absolutely amazing! Ryan Riley was our guide and tailored the tour for our needs and time constraints in mind. He did a fantastic job and the day was perfect. We cannot thank him enough. We are already talking about our next trip to Scotland and will definitely request to have him show us more of the beautiful country. Thanks again, Ryan! And let us know when you make it to the states. Maybe we can meet up and show you around.

don’t pass up the most amazing day you will have in Scottland - We had the most amazing day with Martin - he gave us a real behind the scenes tour and experience of the Northlands. I would do this over and over again for his funny wit and experience

Amazing experience in the Scottish Highlands! - Taiymur was an excellent tour guide and driver! We had an amazing experience exploring the Scottish Highlands. We saw the Loch Lomond, Inveraray Castle, the Kelpies, Argyll Forest Park, Glencoe, the Three Sisters, the Jacobite train ( Hogwarts Express!!), Doune Castle and most importantly the Highland Coos!! This was the most amazing day. The Scottish highlands are incredible and Taiymur was able to show us so much in one day. We saw many castles, churchs, mountains, and waterfalls. The three sisters in Glencoe was breathtaking! Taiymur was super flexible with our group and made sure we saw everything. He was very patient and explained extensive Scottish history. Highly recommend this tour!

Good with some changes - This is a hard tour to review. On one hand, our driver was really informative and he took us to some beautiful places that weren't on the tour - such as a special kirk and oyster tasting. The reason for the lower review was the car. We were much too big to sit in that car. It was very uncomfortable. The tour also lasted 9 hours which was far too long to be in an uncomfortable car. We also felt slightly rushed at each place. I would recommend this tour with a more comfortable car and less sights to see with longer stops at each site.
