Engaging Tour of the Scottish Highlands
Alastair Kennedy was a personable and informative tour guide. His engaging descriptive narrative of the Culloden Battlefield added to our walk through of the historical site. We drove through the back roads of the country side that allowed us to view the live stock, sheep and the highlander cows which were a memorable sight. Cawdor Castle and gardens were beautiful historical sites.

We had a great time. The travel team is really good at communicating and making sure we are not missing the tour or missing the cruise ship. They are very professional and provided lots of Scotland's history and culture. I would highly recommend this.

Family with children, great experience!
Wonderful experience. Our guide, Lewis, was polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Accommodated us by adjusting the schedule with our reservations for a later visit to Edinburgh. Made sure we made it back in time for boarding our cruise. Great time! Plus we were traveling with three children, 8, 13, and 15.

Great Small Group Tour
This was a great tour, and George was quite the character. We loved that it was a small group tour as it provides a much better experience than large group tours.
I booked this for Cawdor Castle, but we were able to see a lot more, including Clava Cairns and the Culloden battlefields. While it says Loch Ness is included (Cawdor Castle, Standing Stones, Culloden, and Loch Ness), it is just a drive-by. We didn't have any issues with this, but be aware.

Loved our tour of the Highlands!
The other guests didn’t show up, so it ended up being just my husband, my daughter and I. George catered to us all day, making sure we saw what we were most excited about. He was very knowledgeable about everything Scottish, and told lots of interesting stories. Big thumbs up for this tour!

Highlight of our trip!
Susan was a wonderful guide! Experienced local Scot! Reversed the tour so we avoided all the bus crowds. Not rushed and took us to a lovely local pub for local cuisine! The tour was the highlight of our cruise to Norway Scotland and Iceland!
