Excellent first trip with G Adventures. All logistics were easy and seamless, activities were well organized and very fun and informative. Also loved the notion of 'expect the unexpected' which created a sense of adventure. I felt all guests were treated with respect and consideration. Had a great time, would highly recommend.

Trafalgar is one of the few companies to offer a combination tour for Ireland and Scotland which was very important to me. All the stops were great, very lovely and interesting areas.

Vicki B. | Traveled in May
Orkney island was great day.it was like Rick Steves travel show. Skars Brae was remains of Neolithic Village started before the pyramids. Standings Stones of Stenness older than Stonehenge. The Italian Chapel was beautiful. Must see island event. Dunrobin Castle was another must see Chateau. Culloden battlefield site was reason my husband wanted to visit due to family connection. Isle of Skye was beautiful. Great local guide. Super overview of Scotland with a wonderful tour manager Chritina.
Karen an | Traveled in May
Couldn't be happier with our Blue-Roads tour through Scotland Highlands and Islands.Im sure that if we attempted to cover as many miles as we did with our group into the absolutely scenic and off the beaten tracks Clara and our driver's took us I would have missed out on the whole Scottish experience.Just the wealth of knowledge and passion shown by Clara was above and beyond.THANKS AGAIN FOR A UNFORGETTABLE Blue-Roads ADVENTURE and to all Clara's little Chickadees you all made this the best time.(The weather certainly helped)
