There were so many memorable moments on this tour from Glasgow through the Highlands to the North Sea to Edinburgh, but the visit to the sheep farm was educational and the Isle of Mull and Iona were beautiful. The Scottish people are so friendly as one told us that everyone has Scottish ancestors if you are from North America or Europe, so all are welcomed. The only nervous moments were passing trucks on the roads in the Highlands, talk about a tight squeeze, but our bus driver was amazing and our tour guide, Andy Parker, was excellent! Try this trip if you are thinking of doing a small group tour - 24 people.

I liked the sheep dogs. Our tour guides stories and history of Scotland.
Really enjoyed visiting the small towns and exploring a little, then finding a
local place to eat. Always found a places with great food. Edinburgh was a fun city.
Plenty of time to see the sites and do things on your own if desired. Bus provided ample leg room for us taller clients. We enjoyed the offered excursions even though we had been to many of the cities previously. This was our third trip with Insight and not our last. Having traveled with Trafalgar and Brendan also, Insight is our top pick for future travels.

JImmy, our tour guide was great. He took care of everyone and one night I was not at dinner, and he called the room to make sure that I was ok. He told many stories of the area that we traveled and was always glad to answer any questions.
Pat was our motorcoach driver, a great and entertaining driver.
