A brilliant day out made so much more special by the hospitality in the cafe. A massive thank you to Amee for her organising skills and customer care. If I had a restaurant I would definitely want her to work for me

Horrible experience
We were waiting for over an hour in front of Scotland national museum and there was no show up and they didn’t even answer any phone calls.
That was the most agonizing experience I ever had in different countries.
That was a total rip off of 100 £

Loving the accent up here in the North, the staff here were very friendly and wow.. the build itself is beautiful, let alone all the artefacts and really interesting exhibits of Scottish heritage, lovely visit.

Ghram was very informative, considerate and helpful. Very good tour as it is a huge museum and so much information to get through. Best to have a guide here.

Tour guide was a No Show!
There was another person at the designated meeting site also, and as we compared notes we concluded that we’d been stood up. Should be real fun trying to get my money back.
Next best thing was that a museum worker handed me a paper guide/ brochure and instructed me to simply scan QR code for museum highlights and follow along. (Bring your earbuds.) I think the program is kinda new because the continuity between rooms/ exhibits is a little unclear, but I was able to hit 15 top items as well as enjoy some things that caught my attention in two hours time.

We were 8 golfers and whiskey enthusiasts from Brasil. We travelled to Aberdeen,St Andrews and Troon in August 2023 to play golf and visit some distilleries. Absolutely fantastic service from our driver and guide Greg Kain of Guided Tours of Scotland: lots of historical information and a very comfortable vehicle for our transport between the various cities with excellent choices for our lunch stops. Many thanks for the outstanding service. Highly recommended.
