Honest insights from past guests on our City sightseeing Scotland tours
Stephen A. | Traveled in July
Very extensive, covers many high spots. The optional excursions were well chosen.
Anonymous | Traveled in July
The Best of Scotland tour with Trafalgar was a great experience. The tour takes you from Edinburgh, the Scottish Highlands and ends in Glascow. The director and the bus drivers are top notch and made the tour run fantastic. We were able to see the highlights we were looking for, plus had time to explore on our own. The Inn in the highlands was out in the country and was run by a fantastic family. We did take part in all the extra excursions and had a great time.
Theresa H. | Traveled in July
highlights a lot of places. some stops are not long enough in one place to. see everything
Anonymous | Traveled in July
The first and last days were a bit more relaxed for me compared to the mid-days, which were fast paced, but the scenery definitely made up for it! Another thing that made the trip more easygoing was that we spent two nights at each hotel, so we didn’t have to constantly pack and unpack while still seeing numerous sites in Scotland. A personal tip from me would be to do a bit of research into Scottish culture, history and landmarks to get an idea of what might interest you most, so you can optimize your free time and prioritize accordingly.

It covers a lot of the country not just the urban areas. The countryside is so diverse snd beautiful that you need to be out of the urban areas to enjoy it. Part of the experience is the old quaint hotels in the highlands. The tour director and bus drivers are professional, well informed and passionate about their country, the cultures and the history, which enhances the memories made.
