Review (2025-02-28): Spectacular Tour - Absolutely outstanding. As a private tour, the cost is not negligible; however, the 100% experience was worth the investment. Naill imbued an aura of Highlander tradition, culture, and history from the moment we met to the moment we parted. This tour, and Naill, are both highly recommended!
