My wife and I took this tour along with three more from this company. Two in London and two in Edinburgh. Laura was I guide for this tour, Hazel was out guide for St Andrews tour. David was our guide for our London tours, one to Leeds Castle, Dover and the other tour to Costwolds, Woodstock tour. ALL FOUR TOURS WERE GREAT!!!!!!!

Michael was amazing. He showed up wearing Kilts which just added to the experience. He was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our trip perfect. He totally succeeded. I would not hesitate to use Experienced Tours again. They did a great job!

Ben was punctual, personable and made a special request happen. We asked to see a scottish highland cow. Ben found two different places for us to view the cows. The first place was a touristy road side place that also had carrots to feed the cows. We introduced Ben to a past travel memory of ours and taught him an interesting feeding technique. Ben also found a farm field later in the day that gave us another close up viewing of these hairy cows. We even heard from Ben a few weeks later, sending us a picture of him sharing the cow feeding technique with clients. That was really nice of him to reach out to us and remind us of what a fun day we had with him. Ben's recomendation for lunch was great ( Delicous food and great atmosphere). We totally recommend Experienced Tours and Ben as your guide.

Fantastic day with Michael! Great views of Loch Lamond. A nice hike and lunch there as well. Michael was really informative about Sterling Castle and all of Glasgow. I would highly recommend this tour and Michael.

Most amazing tour and tour guide! We loved the conversation and knowledge he had and would definitely use this service again! Thank you Calais and experienced tours!

Last night as we (myself, husband, and 14 year old daughter) were discussing the highlights of our 7-day vacation in London and Edinburgh, our tour with Hazel rose to the top as our favorite day (even with the blustery weather). Firstly, she was a pleasure to spend the day with and her love for Scotland is contagious. Secondly, the tour itself was a great way to see Sterling Castle and a wee bit of the Highlands in a day. Lunch was great and my husband tried haggis! Our stop at the Kelpies (with a mini-whiskey tasting) was a welcome addition. Thank you, Hazel!

Terrific tour. We did this as an excursion while on a cruise (although it could have easily been done if touring on land), and we appreciated that Michael was waiting for us at the appointed time right at the port terminal, and brought us back with time to spare on the return. Communication before the tour via email was flawless. Michael was a wealth of information with regards to the history of Scotland and the characters involved. It really brought what we were seeing to life. No regrets taking this tour.

Andy was a fantastic guide, driver, and companion for the day! He was knowledgeable and engaging, and the day flew by. Our kids, ages 11 and 14, enjoyed the outing as much as we did. They especially loved meeting the Highland “coos”! The day was well organized and smooth, and we would highly recommend the experience as a day trip from Edinburgh.
