Great history lesson and sightseeing - Great sightseeing tour. They arrived on time and met us at the ship dock. Our driver was an excellent driver going through small winding roads with large trucks on the opposite side and no shoulder to move over. We saw some great sites and got a great deal of history from our tour guide.

Glorious Day! - Compliments to all who organized and conducted this wonderful tour and itinerary, from the simplicity of booking to the delightful experience. Our guide was Richard who is a wealth of knowledge about the area and the history of Scotland and England. We learned so much from his narrative! He was approachable and conducted an organized tour. Willy is masterful at navigating his coach along narrow, winding roads....and knows everyone at all the stops. We enjoyed them both. Highlights of the tour were the meadow walk along Loch Awe to Kilchurn Castle...and a sighting of Highland cows, the walk through Luss and the visit to Inveraray. We did not like the stop at Green Welly at all! Felt like a tourist trap. Would recommend skipping this and allowing more time in Inveraray so that there is sufficient time to have lunch and tour the castle and its grounds. This part of the trip felt too rushed to us.....we only had time for lunch.

Fantastic Tour and Guide thru Busybus Co. - This Scotland Adventure covered so much more than expected in the 8 hours. First of all, our tour guide Lee and our driver Paul was quite a duo, funny and informative. This was the final excursion of the season but they were awesome. We toured two castles, had alot of time to stop to take breaks, take pictures and shop. We didn't seem too rushed so it was fun. The weather was the usual for Scotland but didn't stop us from seeing some awesome country. The roads are narrow and Paul the driver was a pro at getting us thru them safely in the big busy bus which was very comfortable and had a toilet on it but we had many stops so that was never needed. We recommend this tour with Lee and Paul.

Perfect day - Mark did a great job narrating interesting and important details of the places we visited and/or passed by. Paul navigated the tour on the roadways very professionally. Weather was beautiful.

Nice view of Scotland’s highlands. - Nice view of the Highlands. Trip is accurately described in advertisement. A significant amount is spent listening to narration while observing the countryside from the bus. The Scots are extremely friendly people.

Great overview of Scottish countryside - It was a great overview of seeing the Scottish countryside, which is beautiful The tour guide Mark and bus driver Paul were great. The individual stops were so so. We only had one day in the area and wish we went into Glasgow instead.

Get a Scottish guide, and priced too high. - Enjoyed the stops, however the tour guide was English carrying a white flag around Scotland. I liked the fact that it picked us up at the cruise terminal. That helped, it was pretty expensive. They have free shuttles from the cruise to Glasgow, but we did see highlands which we wouldn’t have seen with the free shuttle. Our driver Willy was cool, I would have liked to hear him tour us around. The British guy was very boring; like a history teacher made several people fall asleep rather quickly.

To expensive. Would have rather stayed in Liverpool and do a self guided tour. - The travel guides stories along the route were interesting but we were super rushed at each stop and it appeared stops were made more for merchants. Did get to see a Highland Coo up close.
