Fun tour with lots of laughs and incredible views

We had an absolute blast, and our tour guide was so much fun that it made a very long ride feel shorter. Even though it rained for the most part and we got very wet, we had a blast. Saw so much of the Highlands and the rain could not dampen our spirits. Our feet, yes.

St Andrews & the Fishing Villages of Fife Small-Group Day Tour from Edinburgh

Elizabeth_D, Apr 2026

Great showcase of St Andrew’s and Fife

An excellent tour with Ally P! A great showcase of the Kingdom of Fife with endless local knowledge and stories. Multiple stops at notable locations with the main stop in St. Andrew. Ally took the time to show us the town prior to drop off so we knew where the main interest points were and even provided the option to get dropped off centrally or closer to the golf course. The golf course was welcoming to spectators and allowed walking on thru ways and photos on the course that don’t disrupt the players. All our stops had pay for use bathrooms (tap and coin) recommendation to pack snacks - you won’t want to spend your time getting food on your stops! Our drive back included some Scottish music references (Ally you’d host a great radio show!) we recommend this tour as a great day trip from the city!

Edinburgh: Isle of Skye, Highlands and Loch Ness 3-Day Tour

Kim_M, Feb 2026

Isle of Skye

Great way to see Isle of Skye and all the natural wonders. Plenty of time to take photos, use washroom and grab a bite to eat. Martin provided enough history of the areas. With the weather being a bit rainy and snowy, he was able to redirect the route for us to see the Fairy Pools. We enjoyed our stay in Portree each night. The group was small, the bus had reclining seats. Good idea to bring snacks and water with you. Bring layers as we had snow, rain and sun! Well worth the trip!
