Fun with Paul - We had a fun filled day with Paul, he was on time and made his time expectations very clear from the beginning, and we never had an issue. He was a great driver and full of valuable tidbits of all the places we visited, and was very knowledgeable. He kept the trip lively and made it an A+ day!

Best tour in Scotland! So much history packed into one day! - Best tour in Scotland! We loved this tour. Neil was a fabulous guide, fun, full of information and clearly a Scot who loves Scotland. His enthusiasm was infectious. Dunfermline Abbey was fabulous, the architecture and the history. And Stirling Castle was amazing, loved the tapestry room in the king's chambers and the great hall. Rosslyn chapel is very interesting but disappointing that you cannot take photos. Highly recommend this tour! So much history packed into one day!

Even when we had a couple of difficult passengers he kept his cool and made sure everyone was having an enjoyable day. The stops along the tour were fantastic and you never felt rushed.

Excellent trip - Great trip. Our guide and driver Alex was wonderful. Rosslyn Chapel was the highlight of our trip and the trip to Dumferline Abbey and the town was also definitely worth seeing . The entire trip was well organized with just enough time on the bus to give you a break between the sights. The only suggestion I would have is to allow another 15 minutes to a half hour at Rosslyn Chapel.

Day Tour - Really great tour! Must give credit to Graham who made the drive fun and interesting. He had a surprising amount of knowledge about the history of not only the places we visited, but other facts about things we saw along the way. His enthusiasm really made the tour enjoyable. The bus was small, clean, and comfortable; easy to get on/off. Stirling Castle was amazing and shouldn't be missed. Dunfermline Abbey was historically interesting. Rosslyn Chapel was puzzling but with an interesting background.
