I loved every bit of it. Paul is fantastic at what he does—he made the whole journey not only full of stories but also full of laughter, which I find rare in group tours. There wasn’t a dull moment; we were entertained the entire ride. I learned so much about Scottish history and culture, all while enjoying the beautiful places we visited. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a taste of the Scottish Highlands but without the time to make it all the way to Loch Ness and beyond.
Connie

Stephen was great. full of stories and historical facts. I enjoyed the boat ride on Loch Lomond and visiting the Kelpies. The castle was fun to explore. The place our guide recommended for lunch was delishous. And ww got to pet some hairy coos!
