Amazing Day Trip! - My family and I were lucky enough to be the first tour of 2024 with Ray. Even though we were short on daylight, Ray managed to pack in a lot of sights and entertain us with stories of Scottish history and expertly curated music. The tour was well paced and extremely comfortable in his Mercedes van.
I did an extensive search on TripAdvisor for a private day tour of the Highlands from Edinburgh and feel so lucky that I happened on Crosby and Bruce even though they didn’t have many reviews. This truly is a first-rate tour company with a passionate owner/operator who provides a wonderful experience. And it was one of the best prices I found!
You must see some of the Highlands if you are visiting Scotland and you should definitely treat yourself to a private tour with Crosby and Bruce.
