Top Scotland Day Trips - page 33

Incredible experience, lots of information and sight seeing. Our guide Graeme was very knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged. My only thing is that it was too little time in Oban… then again, that’s not the tours fault (we knew beforehand). Don’t spend too much time on lunch, instead grab a quick bite and enjoy as much as you can of this magical place. We did an unplanned stop to see the hairy cows… extra points for that :). The weather was in our favor, lots of sun and nice temperatures. Highly recommended!!!

This trip was fantastic. It was a last-minute decision, and I'm so glad I did it. Even if you're not a huge Outlander fan, it's worth it because you get to see several castles and some beautiful parts of the countryside. If you are an Outlander fan (as I am) it was truly awesome. Our guide, Esme, was fantastic. She was funny, earthy (but still respectful of the fact that there were children onboard), had plenty of comfort breaks, gave suggestions on where to go, and even walked us into the towns. One of the best guides I've had- and I've taken lots of these types of trips!

If you’re visiting Inverness or the Scottish Highlands, this tour is an absolute must. With such limited time in Scotland, we wanted to experience as much as possible… and this tour exceeded every expectation. We were able to see and learn about so many of the Highlands’ most iconic sights while also gaining a deeper appreciation for Scotland’s rich history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. A huge part of what made this experience so memorable was our guide, Martin. His knowledge of Scottish history was incredibly impressive, but what truly set him apart was his personality. He was funny, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what he does. Every stop came with fascinating stories, local insights, and plenty of laughs along the way. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish. This tour allowed us to accomplish everything we had hoped to see during our short stay, and we left feeling like we had experienced the very best of the Highlands. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. 10/10 highly recommend this tour, and if you have the chance, absolutely request Martin. You won’t regret it! Thanks so much again Martin!!

Our family had a wonderful time exploring beautiful Scotland with tour guide Holly and her little helper Harley! Even with a very full bus of tourists, Holly was an expert at navigating and creating a fun, lively experience for everyone. What a well-spent day!

As our guide (“old” Cameron) mentioned, this is a great way to experience enough highlights of the Scottish countryside to make you want to come back and spend more time exploring. He’s correct. This was a long, packed day with many sights - Loch Lamond, stops in the Highlands, Loch Ness, an encounter with Highland Cows, and more. Our group consisted of adults, young adults, and teenagers. All enjoyed the day to say the least. “Old” Cameron took care to share many stories relative to our journey regarding Scotland and just so happened to be a very charming host/guide for our day. If you have limited time in Glasgow but want to get a flavor for the country, this is an ideal tour to maximize your day. Definitely recommend. Pro tip: make sure you arrive early and pay attention to departure information.

Sonia was a fantastic guide. She had the right mix of humor, storytelling and history. The beautiful scenery speaks for itself but she added her gift for storytelling which made the whole experience that much better. If I could change one thing it would be to have fewer stops but stay longer at a few like Portree and Eilean Donan Castle.

If you are looking for a train to be part of the tour, that didn't happen due to a last-minute change from the railroad operators. HOWEVER, our tour guide, Louise, was fantastic and safely drove us around the Highlands to visit some beautiful places, and we saw everything that we would have seen on the train (which I have experienced before). She was a beast at handling the bus on those "wiggly-squiggly" roads (as she described them), and I was happy to take a break from driving on the left side of the road and let her navigate us. As a native Scot, she told us many wonderful tales of Highland traditions along the way. She even quoted poetry! I always felt safe while she was driving, and she was professional and lots of fun.

This was quite the long day for both the guest and the guide. Our driver/guide was Tiegan. Foremost she did a great job of driving for a large portion of the trip. She was exceptional at offering commentary that covered every aspect of the drive and multiple locations that we visited. The train was enjoyable especially since we had a mostly sunny day.
