Mike was friendly,...

Pat_S, Oct 2025

Mike was friendly, professional and was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He took special care because my husband has mobility issues. He was even kind enough to return a water bottle that we left in his car.

A great day!

Mitzi_B, Jun 2025

We hate a great day with Kate! Her humor and knowledge made for such a fun day! We loved the beautiful scenery of the highlands and of course the castle! The distillery was a nice stop too! We would definitely recommend this tour! We had a lovely day . Kate called the rain liquid sunshine so that didn’t even bother us!

Perfect Highland Day/Tour

Doris_F, Sep 2024

Our tour guide Stuart was absolutely lovely. We appreciated the added touch of his wearing a kilt. Made for an even more authentic experience. He provided us with lots of history, stories and explanations of what we were seeing on our drive. We had fun and interesting conversations. He is an excellent driver as well. We thoroughly enjoyed all the stops and sights, the weather was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Great trip of North Scotland

Brenda_D, Jun 2024

Mike was fantastic! The van we rode in was super comfortable. Mike took good care of us and had loads of information to share with us on history, culture etc. He made sure we weren't rushed anywhere but yet he knew the schedule well enough to get us to the falcon show at Donrobin Castle on time.

Beautiful north highlands experience

Bill_R, Apr 2024

Mike was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable about the local history and character of the areas we covered on our north highlands tour. The highlights included Dunrobin Castle and Gardens, Clynelish Distillery, and the Falls of Shin.

Great tour

Megan_H, Oct 2023

Great tour! Way easier to see the sights with someone who is local than with google maps and a rental car. Wonderful to know what you are looking at and why it is important. We also got excellent ideas from Lewis for the rest of our trip.

Good but uncomfortable

Brian_C, Sep 2023

Guide was informative and accommodating to our requests. He was interested in showing us. All of the highlights. The only concern was we booked the tour for 8 persons but the van could not carry 8 comfortably so two persons stayed back
