My tour guide (Fergie) was fantastic; very knowledgeable indeed. He clearly knows the roads very well and was able to re-plan/reroute as required due to sudden road closures. He is also very good at explaining the history behind the various areas and landmarks. The trip was the first guided tour I have been on and may have spoilt me; as future guides will have a lot to live up to. Worth every penny.

Incredible tour around some beauty spots in Scotland. The ride was full of information and stories about Scotland and lots of Scottish-born singer/song writer music played throughout the ride. The stops were lovely and sporadic for snacks, tea or coffee. Our tour guide Jeff was the highlight for sure as he bestowed upon us his Scottish humour and wisdom, thank you Jeff!
