Top Scotland Day Trips - page 31

We booked this tour to get a feel of Northern Scotland and learn about the area. Wow! Brian did a fantastic job giving us great information and making it fun! He was super engaged with the group keeping us all involved and listening. He is also a skilled driver, keeping us safe on those narrow roads. Thank you so very much. Well worth the time and money.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Clear and easy meeting point for departure. Comfortable coach. Great way to see the countryside and top attractions outside of Edinburgh! Stirling Castle was fantastic. Adam was an amazing and informative tour guide who was very knowledgeable about Scotland's history and the attractions themselves. Adam was kind and approachable.

This tour was honestly an amazing experience. I traveled with my two daughters and we had so much fun hearing about the ancient stories of the isles and seeing lots of beautiful scenery. Our driver Doreen and guide Marita were both wonderful and I would 100% recommend this tour.

Fraiser or Fraser (forgive me for the spelling if I got it wrong) has good Scottish sense of humor. I kept laughing quietly and a few slightly loud ones😆 He deliver his historic accounts with passion and his music choices are a plus. He gave practical advises on board for clueless passengers like us especially on toilet breaks. We had a really comfy ride. We’ve learned alot, including “wees’”, “ayy!”and “nooooh”😆😂 Most importantly, my 13 year old son have special needs and Fraser was very patient. He is genuinely kind and warm. Great lad. An absolute 10/10🤍

We had an exceptional day on the Loch Ness and Outlander Sites Tour from Inverness, thanks entirely to our outstanding guide, Alistair Kennedy. What makes a great tour guide great? Alistair embodies it all: extremely well-informed, highly articulate, easily understood, and full of infectious enthusiasm. With extensive Highland experience through longstanding family ties and his own life there, plus a military background that gives him deep knowledge of Scottish military history, he brought remarkable expertise to every site we visited. But beyond knowledge, Alistair is extraordinarily personable and delightful to be with, a wonderful sense of humor, and genuinely a really nice man. He made our small group feel like a family for the day, all part of a unified team enjoying the experience together. He never rushed us, always listened to questions, and delivered information-packed, engaging commentary at every stop. What makes Alistair truly unique is that even though he's surely seen these sites hundreds of times, his sense of curiosity, awe at the history and nuance, and amazement at what these important sites represent feels completely authentic. It's as if he's seeing them for the first time alongside you. That's the gift of an excellent communicator and passionate guide. The day was jam-packed with outstanding experiences: the Bronze Age Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, the shores and mysteries of Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, whiskey tasting at the Singleton Distillery (Alistair didn't partake as he was driving), and even - at my wife's and another guest's request - a surprise stop where we petted Highland cows! Alistair made it all happen seamlessly. One exceptional experience after another, led by a truly outstanding guide. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide, Karen, took us on a great tour starting with Urquart Castle. We also learned a lot about driving etiquette in Scotland. The cruise was great, we got to see the depth via sonar. Foyer Falls we magnificent and we enjoyed meeting Steve Feltham.

Best tour we have taken so far. Meet up was easy and simple. Bus was nice. Tour guide, Turquil was absolutely marvelous; amusing, highly entertaining, highly knowledgeable and you could tell he had a real pride and love for his country and lands. Cruise was nice. The castle was incredible. We have been to many, this was the best so far, and the time of day was perfect for pictures. The village we lunched at was very quaint and the priory there was very nice. The distillery was good, quality whiskey. The Cairn stones were majestic. Now, the Culloden Battle Fields, this is a humbling experience. Highly suggest spending the money to go through the museum first and then walking the fields. If you have any sense of imagination and love of history, you will feel the events. Highly, highly recommend this tour.

If you are fortunate to have a sunny day this excursion to Loch Nesd and the Isle of Skye cannot be beat. Our tour guide and driver, David, was very knowledgeable and took us to some interesting places and experiences. Just a fantastic way to spend a day in the Highlands.
