Guided Tours of Scotland

Disappointed that the weather didn't cooperate to go to the Orkney Isles, but loved being at Ballachulish and Castletown away from the big cities. Wished lunch stops were longer for eating and shopping the towns. Could have stayed all day at Dunrobin Castle as I enjoyed touring on my own, but didn't have time to cover all of it.

I can't speak highly enough of the crew. They created a thoroughly enjoyable experience and genuinely cared about those of us travelling on board. I loved everything about the trip. There was plenty of activity to be had or rest if that was what was needed. Boating life was wonderful and of course the ultimate highlight the 3 Lochs - Ness, Oich and Lochy and the majestic environment which we had the absolute pleasure of walking with an experienced guide. Walking the length of The Great Glen Way was an option rather than a must. I took the option of resting or walking a shorter distance when needed. Scotland you certainly made my heart sing. Huge thanks and appreciation to the crew.

Beautiful land scapes, castles, & cities. A very rich and interesting history also. Our tour group was exceptional, we traveled with the nicest people and our tour guide LAURA was exceptional! It's hard to say what was my favorite part of the trip. We had a wonderful time. Colette leaves nothing unfinished. They take care of everything . Very few decisions need to be made aside from determining what you feel like eating at night!

My favorite experience was going to Orkney, seeing the Neolithic sites and feeling the wildness of the place… astonishing. Our guide was a wealth of information, helping us to really feel how hard existence was for these early inhabitants, as well as the more recent crofters. As a history buff, I loved all of the Jacobite sites and information.

Reasonably paced snapshot of Scotland Accomodation and included meals were excellent for this solo traveller The hotel in the Highlands was first class as was the meals provided there The Trafalar tour director Brooke was very informative - made the trip very enjoyable notwithstanding the stormy weather which neccessitated some changes to the schedule.

The Torphichen dinner was absolutely the best! Family style, singing, drinking, piping and cry-in-your-beer stories by Kenny. The next absolute best was Neal and the sheep station. Incredible dogs made the sheep dance ballet! Neal is a stitch! Warm and gruff showed how to hypnotize sheep in 5 seconds for shearing. Great story telling and dog training advice. I loved the experience of personally shearing sheep. Brooke the tour director was so much fun and accomodating, an absolute delightful person.
