Edinburgh Tours in August 2027

The tour consisted of so many well chosen activities packed into a short time. I was very impressed by with how much we were able to experience. Our tour guide was very much a guide, but also part of our group. She interacted with the group. like a friend. (The restaurants served beautiful meals, but the noise within some of the rooms made conversation impossible.)

My trip to Ireland and Scotland was wonderful. Our tour guide was amazing lots of great information and other specialty guides for the area, also terrific. We had a fun bus. Everyone enjoyed each other. Our bus. driver was also excellent.-and kind. I never was afraid while I was riding on the bus. I would recommend this trip to everyone. I already have to all my friends!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my 9 day Scottish journey with Back-Roads. Our guide Mike Taylor was exceptional. We went to some amazingly spiritual and picturesque places. The accommodation was very comfortable and I loved the boutique type style instead of "just another hotel room". Abbey was our driver and she was amazing for the some of the back roads that we went on. I always felt very safe. Mike our guide was a really lovely person. He was very informative about the places we went to and had a great sense of humour. The thing I did like is that he didn't consistently talk like some tour guides do. He had a great approach and at a lot of places we were left to explore on our own after he gave us great hints about what to do. I really liked that. Overall I will be recommending Back-Roads to anyone that asks me about my tour.

As Dr Suess would say "Oh, the people you meet and the places you go" We enjoyed the whole experience of our Back Roads tour of Highights of Britain. Our guide Darren was extremely knowledgeable with the history and local knowledge. We loved the way we could go off wandering but he would always know where to find us. We would highly recommend this tour.

The tour guide we had, Michael Taylor was excellent. He had organised such a splendid tour of parts of Scotland. His unrelenting care and concern for the safety and comfort of all members of the group was endearing. He performed his role with dedication, coupled with wit and humour which served to make the long drives by road less tedious. In this he was ably assisted by Abby and then David, the two coach drivers. They drove with care and concern for the safety of all their passengers. It is not often that we encounter tour leaders like Michael Taylor who have such an engaging style about them. Well done.

The tour director and driver were exceptional, very professional and informative. It covered so much of Scotland. A lot of stairs and walking, Need to be fit Although we did have some folk with walkers or sticks. I am pleased with my purchase. Enjoyed the optional extras.
