Walking the shoreline at Culzean was just beautiful- as was the castle and grounds. Incredible trees. Loved visiting the Robert Burns birthplace, the famous church, monument and gardens, and the perfect brig O' Doon. Tour guide was very informative and personable. Even helped us find a place to have a toast to the poet!

Loved Culzean! Our favorite part of our Scotland trip. The beauty of this castle surpasses many others.

FYI, the admission to the castle is not covered in the cost, but it is beautiful. Swan pond has no swans, and is a very long walk! The walled garden is gorgeous, Robbie Burns is interesting. Our guide was average, not very interactive.

Gary, our guide did an outstanding job of bringing the sites to life. The music he chose to accompany and provide background to our visits was also a perfect match. So glad I took this tour!

Reasons to do this tour: - You will visit an extremely well-maintained castle with lots of paths, beach access, a huge garden that in public transportation will take 4h30 min. -You will visit attractions that only LOCALS visit. - You will learn about Robert Burns story and see the Brig O'doon, a super cute bridge. - You can see a Scottish-style castle Dunure Castle -If you get assigned to a guide like Graham, you will have an amazing time, he will read you, poems from Robert Burns like a poet, and will learn a lot of Scottish history. - You wiull have a different day. If you have a free day in Glasgow, I will spend fewer days on crowded attractions in Edinburgh and do this tour, which offers amazing value for money

James was a wonderful tour guide! He is very well informed and a natural story teller. We thoroughly enjoyed all that the tour had to offer and were allotted appropriate time at each stop. I highly recommend the tour, as well as James!

Our guide, Stewart, was a joy. He kept us interested the whole journey with history and comedy and music. The tour itself was well worth it, and we really enjoyed the points along the way, as well as the couple of "extras" Stewart threw in along the way. Brilliant weather did not hurt!

Our guide Tom, was wonderful. Very knowledgable. Very entertaining. The wind farm was amazing. It's the first time I've ever been so close I was able to touch it. It's truly amazing how big they are. The Castle, tho, was my favourite. Walking thru history always amazes me.
