Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Amazing tour! We had James as our guide and loved every second of it. The tour was informative, spooky, and downright fun! We will be booking another tour with this group!

    This full day trip was probably the best planned and orchestrated group tour that I have been on. Let’s start with Colin, amazing guide and Driver. Not only did he safely get us back home in the middle of a snow storm, he kept us informed and entertained throughout with his funny stories and bitty one liners. He timed everything to give us an amazing experience.

    The tour itself is a whole day trip to the north of the beautiful country and takes you through some of the best attractions that Scotland has to offer. There are enough stops for taking a break and the vehicle is also very comfortable. If you plan to do Loch Ness, Hairy Coos is the answer.

    Despite the windy weather, our tour of Edinburgh Castle was fantastic! Our guide, Sonia, was energetic, knowledgeable, and full of great stories that made the history come alive. Her passion made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!

    The tour was amazing and our guide Ben was incredibly nice the whole day. He kept explaining us interesting things while driving and showing us around. He also stopped in a few spots that weren’t in the itinerary just so we could enjoy more the views. The journey was amazing and the views outstanding, 100% recommend.

    We really enjoyed this interesting tour around Edinburgh, our tour guide James was very informative and an interesting speaker. There were plenty of buses available and I would recommend them.

    We had a great time on this tour! It was a fun way to see the highlights of the highlands. There were plenty of stops to get out and enjoy the scenery, as well as for bathroom breaks.

    We had Bruce as our tour guide, and he was great! He kept us entertained on the drive with interesting information, funny anecdotes, and an enjoyable playlist with a lot of Scottish artists.

    Also, although it’s not what we had come on the tour for, we really enjoyed the stop in Callander at the bakery (Mhor Bread) that Bruce recommended!

    Small distillery, we were in a tour of 9. Our host, Conor, was knowledgable and kept the tour interesting. We learned about the distillery and the history - but of course this is all about the drinking. Each made a ‘clover club’ cocktail under his guidance and tried generous measures of the other gins that they make.
    Well worth a visit. We are local so will try the whisky version at some point.

    Xander was amazing! He was funny and knew his Potter! Even though the weather was rainy and cold, he kept us quite entertained and involved with stories and trivia! Would highly recommend.

    Great walking tour of Edinburgh at night. Went to places you would not go alone and heard some tales you would not want to hear in the dark alone. Our tour guide Niamh was fabulous and recalled the history of Edinburgh for us with interest and drama. The many facets of her knowledge and enthusiasm were compelling and frightening whilst she remained compassionate to the needs and friendship the group needed whilst in a cold dark windy Edinburgh at night. Whoa ha ha ha!!!

    We loved Scotland! We just drove by the Kelpies and did not see them lit up, however.
    The Loch Lomond area is beautiful.
    Gorgeous views!
