Review (2024-09-16): Awesome Day in Scotland - We had never done a private shore excursion before, but this was the best decision we could have made. Our driver Tom was early to pick us up and gave us a tour of Scotland we could not have done through the ship excursions. Loch Lomond National Park was beautiful, and Tom kept the drive both peaceful and entertaining with his knowledge and humor.
