Amazingly Graceful, Unforgettable, Glorious - This experience was a very needed blessing that will never be forgotten. Dunfermline Abbey was crazy cool, Stirling Castle is outstanding, the landscape in itself was beautiful...then I had to go inside and OMG...the last stop though topped it all, Rosslyn Chapel - it was like the heavens opened, the sun just glowed, even the sweetness of the courtyard and finding someone leaving roses was so sweet. Our guide Neil was quite the gentleman, handled everything with grace and attentiveness. Before I set foot in Scotland, I said I wanted to go into a local convenient store just to get the full experience of day to day life - Neil delivered - I learned about Irn Bru (lol - still think McD's fries and coke cures the hangover)...talked to local who was so wonderful, so sweet. Pay attention to the details in life, each person you meet, signs and wonders are all around. Also...there is a unique smell in Scotland, very euphoric, intoxicating. I left my heart in Scotland, it makes my heart pitter-patter, I would move there in a heartbeat. Ya'll Scots are AWESOME!!

Fun and Memorable - Great tour and Chris was knowledgeable and a lot of fun! Rain held off for a good bit of the morning so we were able to see for miles. Fantastic time and will think of booking with company again next time I’m in Edinburgh

Wonderful tour, especially for solo travellers - Such a lovely trip. Great tour with a truly excellent guide. Ideal for those who wish to see the sights outside of Edinburgh without spending hours on a bus. We departed at 9:00 and were back by 17:45. There is plenty of time to explore each location and our guide added the site of the Battle of Bannockburn, which was so very interesting. Stirling Castle is a beauty. Rosslyn Chapel is spectacular. They do not allow pictures but it is so worth seeing. Highly recommended. For solo travellers, do not miss this trip.
