My husband and I selected this particular tour as we had limited time in Scotland and were very eager to see the Scottish Highlands after a 5 day visit in Edinburgh. We were not disappointed. Though the trip only lasted two days, we saw such amazing sights that we will remember it for a lifetime. Our guide, Tonks Brown, a native to the Highlands did an amazing job of taking our small group to the places of great scenic beauty and of historical importance. She had a wonderful way of sharing much of the folklore, history, music, culture, and even pointed out locations where many famous films and television series had been filmed. Her storytelling skills were superb and she had her audience captivated. She also did a great job of giving the group the opportunity to take photos in some of the most breathtaking locales as well as giving us the option of various tours and side trips. The booking at the B and B was also very nice. Thanks for the awesome experience!
