Our last night with dinner at the Craufurd castle was over the top. So enjoyed mingling with the Laird and Lady. The whole trip was amazing, but that was the icing on the cake.

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.

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.

We enjoyed everything about this trip. We were first-time travelers on an organized tour and found that we loved traveling with others. On that note, what stood out for me was the excellent itinerary, professionalism and organization of our tour manager, Ian, incredible skill of our bus drivers, and the quality of our local guides. It was a thoughtful, exciting itinerary that truly was one of discovery—no deep dives into any one place, but we know where we would like to spend more time if we’re able to return one day. Highlights: Glencoe, Orkney, Skye ( a week here would be fabulous), the sheepdog demonstration (Neil should have his own tv show), and our fellow discoverers, many of whom became friends. Though this was our first time with Collette we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Slainte!

I have to say that our tour guide Ian made this trip for me. He was my favorite part. He kept us entertained and made a big group of people happy and on time for all the fun events. I loved seeing the islands and the visit to see the sheepdogs the most! There were so much to see and do. I enjoyed it all.
