Scenic castles and magnificent views - Fantastic experience. Valeria, our guide is a lovely person. He explained the whole story of the two English castles that will be exposed during the trip. Very prepared and attentive even with children, allowing them to dress up as Harry potter, with his accessories, for the broom lesson. For adults you will be amazed by the beauty of the two castles and the panorama that surrounds them. Valeria told us their story without ever getting bored, giving us freedom of movement once we reach our destination, but also providing tips to optimize the stops and explore the beauty of Alnwick Castle where they filmed the exterior scenes of Harry Potter and Downton Abbey and Bamburgh castle, a fortress that stands on the North Sea, spectacular. Thanks again to Valeria, her professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend this tour and Scotland your and his staff.

A beautiful experience - The tour was great, we went on July 30 with a beautiful summer day. My daughter and my husband were very happy and Valentina was very thorough and helpful in the comments and in explaining in detail everything we saw. We discovered that she is also a fellow citizen of ours. The Castles and the walk on the beach very particular, to do absolutely.

A private tour... around castles! - Second day in Edinburgh, we booked this tour to see more, beyond the city. There were 4, it was an almost private tour with our guide Serena who followed us throughout, telling us anecdotes, myths and legends. Beautiful castles visited and the history of those who lived them Well organized tour and with Serena very prepared and attentive to our needs! We got to get into Scottish culture, which is important when you are on holiday for a few days. Result.... We booked a second tour with Serena!

Great tour in Italian - My friends and I did this tour with Cristina and Beatrice (the driver). Greatly organized tour. Stop halfway at Berwick-upon-Tweed where you could take a walk on the walls and pass by the old cemetery. Arriving at Alwick Castle we saw the places where some outdoor shots of the movie Harry Potter were made. Then there was the option to visit the inside of the castle for an extra fee (we visited it) or stay outside. After lunch we left for Babburgh Castle. Here too the guide explained what we would see inside, but inside he did not accompany us. There was a chance to go to the beach at the foot of the castle. Very nice and suggestive even for the hot day. On the way back we stopped in a village with thatched roofs and a pub where if you wanted you could drink a beer. Absolutely recommended

An unforgettable experience - Me and my family together with some friends stayed in Edinburgh this October for a few days and we chose to do two individual tours since we were 7 people with this agency. They picked us up from our apartment and drove us back there at the end of the trip. The tours were both beautiful.... it was the first time we were in Scotland and everything seemed beautiful... Our luck, however, has not only accompanied us with wonderful places to visit and sunny days .... our guide Serena, was nothing short of splendid! with her sympathy, warm smile, availability but above all her infinite knowledge of this land and its history have framed our adventure! We all thank her and hope to be back soon to share with her other trips! A hug from Fabiola & Co.

I really would, but only with Zeno. - The tour was very pleasant. Well organized. Even the various small stages were very nice. They gave us a little glimpse of what the countryside is like in the south of Scotland. The two castles are very nice to visit. An extra hour would have been needed in Alnwick Castle, because it is full of attractions. We wanted to visit the Poison Garden (very interesting) so we sacrificed some time to the castle. Zeno, the guide, told us analogies, secrets, legends and of course historical facts about the places we visited. He's really good. And with the children, we can really do it. 👍

The borderlands: Scotland and England - Day forced by the passion of my daughter for Harry Potter... the surprise was the curiosity of my son who despite his initial reticence had to change his mind from pride to the beauty of the two castles visited. The guide and our driver, Serena and Valeria, were two impeccable and above all helpful professionals. Good girls! We were lucky because on the bus with us there was only a very helpful and kind young couple, qualities that unfortunately are becoming a rarity. The only flaw of the day an incessant rain .. I recommend to all Italians this agency for offers and courtesy.

Visit to alnwick castle - Full day trip (maybe with a car journey a bit 'long compared to the real goal of the visit). of course you select this tour to indulge the passion of children / teenagers for our Harry, but I must say that thanks to the great competence and passion of our guide / driver (Zeno!), even for parents becomes an interesting day, full of Scottish history and myths, enlivened by selected music and literary reflections 😊Congratulations to Zeno
