Customer Reviews
It was a fabulous tour covering such a variety of places and events while also providing a few 2 or 3 night stays, meaning there were less days that required us to pack and move hotels.
is a Great tour director. The accommodation at Kyleakin was appalling and I wouldn’t let my dog sleep on mattress coils like that
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.
You will see every inch of Scotland! Amazing trip and loved learning the history.
Every days activities are well planned and the entire holiday went very well thanks to a well organized tour director.
The tour director was rude, inconsiderate and disrespectful. We paid a lot of money, and were treated like school children. Not given enough time to see the attractions, ie recommend 30 minutes walk given 20 minutes. Told off f I r private conversation with partners, promised what's app group only set up on last couple if days of 2nd week and still waiting for Facebook group. Too busy on his phone to assist guests with mobility problems off coach.
The itinerary was a good pace and local knowledge and stories were very enjoyable. The optional experience highlights the quality of the commitment from Trafalgar to give the best of the region we travelled.
, the guide, was excellent. He and the bus drivers planned every day to maximize exposure to Scotland. He was extremely knowledgeable, personable, easy to understand and efficient. The bus was nice and comfortable. We got to see parts of Scotland that other tours miss.
There is a lot of walking, especially on cobblestones, and many hills, both in cities, and on islands. Also, there are many stairs, going into and out of the major tourist attractions. The tour director we had, was extremely knowledgeable about the areas, and was very pleasant, and made sure all the people were looked out for. The roads are very narrow, and many times the tour coach would have to pull over to let other drivers pass that were going in the opposite direction.
All encompassing and exciting tour from start to finish. Our tour guide, was experienced and able to share a wealth of knowledge about the country in a fun and interesting way. In my case, she went above and beyond in providing timely, and invaluable assistance for retrieving an important item I’d left in a prior hotel. I highly recommend this tour.
Best itinerary for seeing Scotland. I loved the entire experience best trip ever. The tour guide was excellent with a dedication to her job that couldn’t be missed. Her knowledge was exceptional and easily understood. was a delight to be around, I can’t praise her enough. I would do this tour again anytime and would recommend it to everyone.
Great sites to see but meals and some hotel rooms were less than desirable for the price paid!
