A Total Scottish Experience - With only a few days in Scotland this trip was a truly memorable experience; a history lesson brought to life, with a marvelous guide. Clarion is a gem. Not only does she have deep knowledge of Scottish history, her whisky knowledge is deep as well. A wonderful day!!

Colorful and comfortable way to see some of Scotland's finest landmarks - We had to book at the last minute and were so pleased that Slainte Scotland could accommodate us. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our tour group consisted of one other tourist and our guide Ross, who stood out in his pink and white camo print kilt. Ross made us feel at home and was helpful answering questions about Scotland and the places were visited. We appreciated his knowledge of Scottish history. We enjoyed all of the tour stops. At Stirling Castle, we were lucky to get Frank as our guide. He provided an enthusuiastic and interactive explanation of the castle's history. In a rare sunny summer day, the stop at Loc Lomond gave us some great photo opportunities. Touring by car was definitely an advantage over a bus trip. My advice- ask for Ross as your guide!

Thank You Barry Much! - Here's another stellar review for Slainte Tours and particularly our guide Barry. My husband and I got great one-on-one service with Barry, as we were the only ones booked for today. He picked us up in a sparkling clean van that was easy to get in and out of when needed. Barry was very familiar with the area, and gave us all kinds of good information. Barry went the extra mile with us, from making sure we met up with a guided tour at Stirling Castle to suggesting menu items at the Drover Inn, to making an unplanned stop to see some coos! This was a great tour that did not require a lot of walking (except in the castle). A great day out from start to finish. Barry is a natural tour guide and skilled driver. Worth every penny! Thanks Barry!--from Tim and Jeanette from Florida USA

Excellent Day Trip with a Great Guide! - Our tour with Slainte Scotland Tours was everything we hoped for in a small group day trip. Haymond was a lovely guide full of local knowledge and history as well as Scottish lore. This was a well timed trip that didn't feel like you had to rush everywhere, and there was great conversation with the guide while in the car with a more one on one experience than the big bus tours. Photo stops at the Lochs, lunch at a historic pub and a great local distillery tour rounded out a perfect girls trip weekend.

Stirling Castle, Trossachs, and Loch Lomond - Us to cancel this tour due to trip logistics but change to another without the whiskey tour. We were led by a delightful guide named Johnny who led he tour with great information and beautiful sights. It was a wonderful day and ended with an incredible view of the harbor.

THIS IS A SCAM. DON'T EVEN GO AMY FURTHER - THIS IS A SCAM. DON'T EVEN GO FURTHER. No one showed up, answered emails or answered a phone. We quickly realized after waiting around that we were scammed.

Terrible service, tour cancelled and still no refund - I really wanted to love this company but after having our Stirling tour cancelled on the morning, and us waiting in Glasgow on the side of the road trying to find out what happened, we finally reached the office and were told: “we couldn’t get a car”. The only message we had was the day before that the tour would start half an hour late. We were promised an “immediate refund” of our $300 which over 3 weeks later hasn’t been forthcoming at all. They have ignored my travel agent and my messages, phone calls, emails etc. So, I’m writing this to let others know because it looks from other recent reviews also that other people are starting to have the same experience.
