I booked this tour as our first day of our Scotland vacation and it did not disappoint! Even with minimal sun, the day was still great! The schedule of the day was nice which gave plenty of time to enjoy the sights and still see more without exhausting you. We had the pleasure of having Owen as our guide for the day. His passion for the history and personable personality topped of our experience! I look forward to going back to Scotland and curating our next vacation with them again!

We had a wonderful day on this tour! The best part was Lady Jane's Tower and the views, OMG, the views!!!! St. Andrew's was beautiful, but we needed more time there. By the time we walked to grab food, we barely had enough time to do the castle tour, much less explore the picturesque town. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Scotland and was able to answer all of our questions! It also helped that we had a beautiful sunny day--I even got some new freckles!

Owen & Derek did such a great job teaching us so much about the history of the area and the beautiful country of Scotland. We got lucky and had two guides and two guides in training for just the two of us so we felt very spoiled! Such a great company to work with to see the area!

A truly great experience! Chris was an amazing guide filled with knowledge and patience. He gave us insight into more than just the sites we visited. We really felt connected to the country through this tour and highly recommend it. We logged approximately 13k steps, if that matters to you.
