Thorough but relaxed, joyous and accessible experience

Charles_O, Jul 2024

We truly enjoyed touring the northeastern Scottish countryside and exploring Crathes, Balmoral, and Dunnothar castles and their associated histories. Nothing was rushed or complicated. Malcolm was very friendly, informative, and accommodating - highly recommended day tour!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi. It was great to meet you and hopefully see you next time you are back. Thanks Malcolm

A fun and flexible tour day.

Angela_F, Jun 2024

We had a fantastic day! The Aberdeen area is incredibly beautiful and so rich in history. Malcolm was a great guide, and added knowledge and fun to the day. He was very pleasant and flexible. We hope to visit Aberdeen again and would like to spend more time with him as a guide.
