Highly recommend this company! Our group of six friends did the Highlands, Whisky, and Castles private tour from Edinburgh. Sandy was quick to respond to all my questions when planning the day trip and helping to tailor the itinerary to our interests and customize a couple of the stops. Communication and follow-up during the booking process was great, and our guide, Calais, arrived early to pick us up - the car was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Calais was an exceptional tour guide, super friendly and personable. He provided great stories and history during the drive and castle tour (definitely more interesting than the standard audio tour!), and kept us on pace throughout the day while not making anything feel rushed. The whisky and chocolate pairing at Lindores Abbey Distillery was fantastic - beautiful tasting room and facility, we all really enjoyed the whisky and local chocolates. We had a great day - perfect way to get out of Edinburgh for the day and see more of Scotland during our trip. I look forward to touring with Experienced Tours in the future!
Such a wonderful experience! We took the Highlands Whiskey and Castles Tour. It was much more than we expected. Our guide, Marco was such a great host and gave us lots of information between stops and made us feel welcome and appreciated. Lunch was an unexpected treat at a waterside restaurant with beautiful views and great food. The whisky tour was also more than expected. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it
I highly recommend this company for any of their excursions. Our driver, Cali, was waiting outside our hotel door just before pickup time at 9:00 a.m. He was an excellent driver, and very friendly. Lots of information through narrative and we were very comfortable with his driving skills and knowledge of the history of his country. We were fast friends right from the start. He knew all the right places to show us and we had plenty of stops. We had lunch at Loch Ness and ice cream in Pitlochry. Nothing was rushed and he knew all the back roads to avoid any traffic and crowds. The beautiful Mercedes van was well appointed with a cute little refrigerator loaded with drinks and snacks. It sure didn't hurt that we had gorgeous weather. Warm and sunny. This afforded us some great views that are often shrouded in rain or fog. Cali dropped us off at about 8 pm And we were sorry the day was over. If we can get back to Scotland, we will definitely use Experienced Tours again.
We had a fabulous vacation with our guide, Calais! Not only was he an amazing tour guide, taking us on hikes and providing wonderful commentary on current and historical areas, but he was absolutely amazing with my three children. He was fun, patient, and just a really great person. We all enjoyed our vacation with him and hope we get to see him again in the future!
We did a tour of Islay. It was absolutely FANTASTIC! Calais, our tour guide, took our trip to “trip of a lifetime” status. He was incredibly attentive, efficient, patient, kind, thoughtful and a wealth of history and knowledge. The way the tour was arranged was nothing short of perfect, and Calais went above and beyond to make our trip extra special. I cannot recommend this company enough! I would definitely utilize their services again!
