Brilliant. Our guide, Stuart/Badger, had us fully entertained throughout the day with his magical mix of commentary, music, history and humour. The route is magnificent; Stuart's driving was excellent. We loved it - Scotland in a nutshell.
A very interesting tour, allowing to discover without driving, beautiful sceneries and places!
