This was a nice day out, it would have been nice if the guide was a little more knowledgeable. The sites were okay, but we had to ask to go to see Lallybrooch and then pay additional.

Stephanie J, Jul 2017

Allan was our guide and he made our day and trip to Scotland. He was informative, fun, and accommodating. There was three of us, and we LOVED him. His passion and love for the history of Scotland exuded from him. He adjusted the schedule to please us....we had to see Highland cattle, and he showed us the best place to buy cashmere. He is a true Scotsman, wears a kilt and sporran everyday. We had such an enjoyable day and the Mercedes van is comfortable, spacious and he provides drinks. When I go back I'll DEFINITELY use him again.
