Tour guide/driver Duncan is a very good story teller! His stories about Scotland range from folk tales to histories. Very entertaining and very amusing indeed. Destinations are mostly adventurous & suitable for anyone who likes to explore green and takes amazing pictures! Accommodations are clean and cheap, nice kitchen facilities. Overall an exciting trip.
