The guide was great but we made prior arrangements with viator for us to bring our luggage and when the guide showed up the car wasn’t big enough for our luggage. We had to make arrangements with iur hotel to get our luggage up to our destination at a cost of 600 lbs be warned!!!

Noel was a likeable and very knowledgeable tour guide. I strongly recommend this tour and this particular tour guide. Offered us a very distinct look at the Scottish highlands and Lochness. Will go back one day and will have the same tour with Noel. Francisco Dieguez

We just finished a tour with Noel who is incredibly knowledgeable and did an absolutely fantastic job! The van was nice, snacks were plentiful, and for a group that included two small kiddos, we couldn’t be more grateful for a wonderful day of seeing beautiful Scotland!

What an excellent tour! Nathan was such an incredible tour guide- friendly, knowledgeable, willing to customize our trip. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is worth every penny!

My partner and I went on this tour during a recent work-related commitment in Edinburgh. After reviewing available options, we ultimately opted for a private tour to avoid the masses on the standard bus excursions. They had good availability, including on the weekend when we were available for a day tour. Our tour guide, Nathan, picked us up right on time at the hotel and was great. He was knowledgeable, personable, and spent about 12 hours with us from beginning to end. The van was clean and comfortable, and was stocked with snacks and drinks. The day included a trip up to the Highlands, including Glencoe, and a stop for lunch. We had limited desire to go to Loch Ness, so requested the morning of to go to Balmoral Castle instead. Overall, we'd highly recommend the tour. The price point is higher than a standard group bus tour, but worth the price for the personalized guide and itinerary. My only suggestion for potential travelers is to request any deviations from the standard itinerary beforehand so the team can sort it out - we procrastinated until the morning of, and due to a packed itinerary, driving times, and unexpected detours, arrived at Balmoral Castle about 20 minutes after they closed on opening day for the season. We were able to see the tip of the castle from afar, but not up close.

Gabriel_R

We spent the day with our family. Ages range from almost 70 (my father in law) to 10 (my daughter). Nathan was our guide who made a difference in this trip. He gave us context and history knowledge that was accessible and interesting for us all. We even found some hidden and unexpected surprises. The tour is worth every cent we paid. We will sire return.

Henrik S

We had a very great trip. The guide was really nice and pleasant. He has a lot of history knowledge and respond to all our wishes. We would do it again.

It was an otherworldly experience! Noel really takes you to beautiful places, and he knows so much about history that you feel like you´re living it every time you arrive at a castle or when you arrive in the stunning Highlands of Scotland. I have to return with my family, and there is no doubt that I would return with them to take the tour. 1000% recommended. Thank you very much!
