    Andrew with Wild Scotland Tours was a fantastic guide. He was very informative, knowledgeable and funny. I learned so much about this area of Scotland. The weather was terrible. It rained all day with gusty wind and cold. The 8 of us on the tour were soaked to the skin and shivering with cold. Andrew made sure we did not miss anything. We walked through fields in driving rain and mud to see the standing stones. We stopped at a pub to warm up. The whole time he was telling us facts and stories about the area. Even with the shivering wet rain, I was so glad I took the tour. I loved the Scottish music Andrew played in the vehicle

    Even with intermittent rain, we had a terrific day. Our driver was wonderful and knowledgeable although should only been on the job for four months. We love visiting Lohman and the village of Ness was delightful. Inverary castle and gardens were gorgeous and the standing stones were very special. One of my favorite stops.

    Although the weather was not good, our tour guide Yvonne w/ Scotland's Wild got us through to see all the sites. she was very informative & helpful about places to see & pubs to visit. Even took the time to drive back to one of our stops when in our group discovered she had dropped her phone in the parking lot. Phone was recovered & we were able to see everything on the tour.
