Edinburgh 9-Day Tours and Trips

The Tour was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our Guide, G, was knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining with the group. The driver, Paul, much the same. We saw the beauty of Scotland with many off the map hidden surprises. It was truly amazing. Would do this tour again in the future, no doubt

We enjoyed our tour. The tour guide Tom was wonderful being a Scottish born and bred person who had a lot of knowledge and insights along the way and shared in a fun and engaging manner. Our bus driver Tony, also Scottish born and bred, was amazing, especially on those one lane back roads. The hotels we stayed at were very comfortable and the food was very good. The sight seeing was incredible and we felt we got a good chunk of the Scottish landscape. The people on the bus were loads of fun and we had a nice time getting to know them and share our experiences together. I would highly recommend this tour.

My first tour with Collette! Enjoyed the history and travel all over Scotland! Johnny, the tour guide was well prepared and so helpful! Also, enjoyed Frank, our Scottish bus driver. Loved the Military Tattoo!

My favorite moment of the tour was the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. It was spectacular. Next would be the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands. The real key to the success of our tour was the tour manager. The tour manager can make or break the entire experience, and our tour manager, Andy, was awesome.

Second Backroads tour and excellent. Well structured with two nights in each well selected hotel. Selection of things to see and the tour guide’s flexibility in changing plans to suit changed weather or other condition very important. Excellent passionate professional helpful tour guide. Only negative was, given the limited luggage capacity, need to select a starting hotel that will store excess luggage. Telling people to take it to the railway station or some other random storage facility is simply not an acceptable solution. So apart from the luggage issue a perfect tour. Highly recommended.

Good value. We enjoyed all accommodations (and on some tours they can be a bit dodgy) and all provided meals. Particularly on hotels, they were all different, and that added to the charm of the trip (much better than them all being similar). Professional driver and guides - and you particularly notice that when you don't have them. This tour had them.
