Scotland Tours and Trips

It was thought out very nicely and enough knowledge about what the area offered. Our tour guide was wonderful and made the trip so realistic and knew the small history, local and historical. She was by far the best guide I have been with on such a trip

Loved Edinburgh, could have spent more time there! Enjoyed the sheep dog exhibition. The dos and the sheep were so fascinating and the farm was just beautiful!! I also very much enjoyed the Giant’s Causeway. Nature has such a sense of humor. The weaving demonstration was interesting and the fabrics they produced were extremely well made. Had I not lived in the South of the United States, I might have bought more than a scarf, but in general, we have very little need for clothing made of wool. Much of the trip was fascinating. I think I loved most how friendly the people were and they seemed to enjoy us being in their home land.

Enjoyed Donald Morrison, Tour Director. He ensured things went smoothly, and was attentive to needs of the travelers. Provided good info with a sense of humor that made the tour fun. Our bus driver was very competent and handled several challenging roads effectively. He was very kind and patient and always stood near the bus door to ensure that all passengers exited safely, The hotel accommodations were nice overall. Rooms and food services were excellent in the hotels in Glasgow and Edinburgh. I would have preferred having the tips for the tour director and bus driver included in the cost of the tour. Our Collette rep encouraged us to place the money into envelopes before we left so that we wouldn't have to find cash machines in Scotland. This was good advice since it was difficult to find machines and there wasn't enough time in the airport. However, I strongly disliked having to carry that amount of money around with me for two weeks. I wouldn't have minded giving an extra amount to supplement what could have been included with the tour. I spoke with several Collette representatives to have questions answered prior to the trip, and they were always polite and helpful, though I probably would have preferred talking to the reps assigned to our trip. I get it that probably would have been difficult to arrange. I liked the Collette app. My family at home enjoyed following along. They were disappointed when it was deleted before we got home. (They texted me to get my flight numbers.) The breakfasts provided at the Glasgow Hilton and the Voco Edinburgh were excellent. I also enjoyed all of the restaurants that were selected. Sometimes it was a little difficult to grab lunch, but I think that was only at some of the botanical gardens that Collette doesn't usually have on their itineraries.

It was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Our Tour Director, Michelle Worthington, was knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely passionate about sharing the stories and traditions of Ireland and Scotland. We also felt very luck to have a fantastic bus driver Kevin. They made a great team and the trip truly enjoyable.

The tour of Ireland and Scotland was excellent. The itinerary was great and just the right amount of days. Trafalgar was also exceptional to deal with being our first tour . Would recommend them to anyone and would definitely use them again. Thank you

It was very enjoyable. So many great memories and new friends made. We enjoyed the extensive coverage of “best of” places and landmarks. The knowledge from our tour guide Jim, allowed us to learn history and detail that was a real eye opener. Expert guides used in different places were excellent, accommodation was great as was the food supplied. A special mention of the coach driver Tom, who was such an asset to the tour with his happy, helpful and able demeanour which capped off a wonderful journey.
