Wonderful! - I did a different tour with the same company last year and was so impressed with last year’s, I knew we had to take another tour with this company again this year! Our guide, Stuart, was absolutely wonderful! He catered to all our interests and even made time for additional stops for us. Anytime we had a question he could not answer, he was quick to find someone who could answer all our questions about the castles. We are already planning our next trip back to Scotland and without a doubt, we will be taking another tour with TRIPorganizer! This company is marvelous and I would recommend to anyone coming to Scotland!

Best guide - Best tour I've been. Stuart is an amazing guide, likes to chat and tell us all about Scotland. We'll worth the price. Stuart went out of his way to acomodate us. The views are amazing.

top notch - What an amazing day we had with Stuart! A great drive with great guide who gave us so much great information both about the places we visited and Scotland/its culture as a whole. Flexible when we needed it and amenable. The castles were amazing and the amount we learned was vast. A full day of adventure! can't wait to return

Lovely Day Trip to an Area Rich in History - A lovely and relaxed day trip in a beautiful and historically rich area. Our driver/guide Sean was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating and enabled us to prioritize the areas of most interest to us. We were not able to cover all of the locations listed on the website itinerary, but this was offset by the flexibility to see the main sites in more detail.

Don't miss! - Fantastic. Sean our guide was knowledgeable and fun. There was a last minute reroute because Alnwick was closed that day. We took a scenic ride through the countryside, discussing sports, politics, history, economics and local geography. Ultimately went to Rosslyn instead where we were pleasantly surprised by more fascinating local history. All on the fly and improvised. Loved Lindesfarne castle.

Alnwick and Bamburg are must see. Our favorites in England! - Alnwick was wonderful. Probably the most beautiful staterooms I’ve ever seen and more unicorns than you can count! Bamburg had the most amazing views. Holy Island was fine but crowded. We didn’t make it to the 2 towns.
