Having just returned from an amazing trip to Scotland with my two best friends, I cannot say enough great things about the wonderful tour company, "About Scotland", that made so much of it possible. Beginning with my first contact with Ricki, who helped me create our itinerary into the Highlands, made accommodations for us at a beautiful B & B... More

We had the honour of having both Ian and Ricki as our guides on two occassions. My family is originaly from Scotland, yet my husband and daughter had never had an opportunity to "cross the pond" before. I had some unusual requests to see a few sites which would probably not be the typical venue. Ian and Ricki were most... More

Richard (Ricki) Henderson served as our driver for a two-week excursion of west Scotland. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, he was timely, enthusiastic, energetic, and professional.. Ricki quickly recognized our special interests and went beyond the call of duty to ensure that they were met. Our trip is a wonderful memory - thanks, Ricki More

I had the pleasure of visiting Scotland this summer with friends and family. During this time, we experienced what it means "to hire a driver." Ricki looked great in a kilt and only wanted us to have the best time possible. I sat in the front of the van and was his co-pilot and enjoyed every minute of it. Ricki... More

We did a one day tour from edinburgh to Eilean Donan castle, where no one else would take us in one day. From the first contact by email to the very last minute of the tour were great. They tailored a tour exactly as we wanted it and more. It was a long but unforgetable day. About scotland will not... More

My boyfriend and our parents just returned from a fantastic trip to Scotland. Ricky at About Scotland helped to create a fantastic itinerary - I just sent him our main destinations with a time frame and he filled in the rest of the trip with lovely sites and hidden gems. He took care of booking our accommodation and also recommended... More

Our family of 6 was met by Ricki of About Scotland. We required private transfer from the Edinburgh Airport to catch up with our cruise ship docked at the Port at Invergordon. Ricki promptly met us at the airport and escorted us through the areas of my husband's ancestors in Upper/Lower Largo, through St Andrews, and the Highlands to the... More

Everything, everything about About Scotland Day Tours was amazing. From my first contact with them to outline our visit through the day of our visit was incredible. This was our first time to Edinburgh and we wanted to be able to see and enjoy as much as we could and not be herded around with a tour group. And About... More

I wanted to visit areas of Scotland that weren't showing up on other tour companies' itineraries (Kilmartin Glen, Dunadd Fort, Inchmahome Priory, Balquhidder, Dunkeld, John Muir Way). Found AboutScotland.net through an internet search, and had some concerns about the small number of TripAdvisor reviews (though all reviews were excellent). Ian responded promptly to my email inquiries. He was very flexible... More
