Book now you won’t regret it! - John our tour guide was AH-MAZING! Right from the start of the trip he was super friendly, got everyone involved and comfortable asking him any questions throughout the day. He was SO knowledgeable about the areas we saw and even showed us some new things he recently found. John is a safe driver, conscious of all his passengers and their needs and kept us intrigued and laughing all day. Not a dull moment! This trip was so good my friend and I are already talking about the potential of booking another trip with him. You will not regret taking this trip, book now!

Day trip out of Glasgow - Our tour guide, Jim was friendly and full of information for each area we visited. He was helpful and provide us tips. We get to look at the standing stones closely and explore the Inverarary castle and also other areas. There were lots of scenic views. Also, there are plenty of restroom stops during the trip. The van we were in was comfortable. Expect to see a lot of sheep.

BOOKING THIS TOUR IS A MUST - I was a little hesitant to book at first thinking it would be too long... I am SO GLAD I did book and take this tour. Our TOUR GUIDE MATT was awesome. Great mix of history and humor and very attentive to the small group. Plenty of stops throughout the duration of the trip to stretch the legs and explore, go to the toilets (multiple stops if needed), grab a snack, etc.. I did multiple tours in 2wks and this was the highlight of them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Beautiful, Worth it & Highly Recommend - Our tour guide was amazing!! James knew so much history, was fun to talk to and brought a lively atmosphere. It was raining at the beginning, and I thought maybe we wouldn’t see much. Boy, was I so wrong. Even in the rain we got out and saw the standing stones and a castle and learned so much history. Then after lunch it brightened up into a sunny day and was absolutely beautiful. We stopped & saw highland cows and that’s always been #1 on my bucket list. Lastly, the castle ruins and river beside it were beautiful. If you’re feeling wishy washy about splurging on this trip I definitely recommend that you do it!! It’s a trip I’ll never forget for the rest of my life (mainly the cute highland cows :)

Above and beyond! - My husband and I just moved here and we wanted to see the highlands while my mom was visiting us and this was a WONDERFUL tour. James really knows his stuff and you can tell he has a deep love for his country. We got to see a lot more than we thought we could in one day. The stops were frequent enough for rest breaks. We look forward to booking other day tours in the future!

Standing Stones and the Highlands - A Truly Memorable Experience - This was an amazing one-day tour. The Highlands were beautiful, covered in frost. Our guide Jim is passionate about his country and his work. He knows his history and brings it to life throughout the day to help us understand what we are looking at and to put everything into perspective. And he’s a fun guy who I hope will be the guide on my next visit.

Most Excellent! - Our guide was James. One of the friendliest and most knowledgeable guides I have met. Every site, town and loch where we stopped, and almost everything we drove by had a story he knew. If you are fortunate enough to have James for your guide, be sure to ask him to tell the story of Clan Campbell, The Stone of Destiny, Robert the Bruce and ask for the song, Loch Lomond, on the return trip by the loch. His knowledge and entertaining way of telling history made this all day tour a favorite that I will hope to repeat. And thank you, James, for telling us about the Ceilidh. We will be looking for one now 😊
