Scotland Tour Companies

Such fantastic choices of places to visit and info about the destination, with local lore, sense of humour. Knew quiet spots away from all the other crowds. Really felt like a personalised trip

Just finished the 3-day MacBackpackers tour to the Isle of Skye, and it was incredible! Our driver was amazing—super funny, friendly, and full of great advice, which made the whole trip so enjoyable. The highlight for me? Definitely the hike to the Old Man of Storr. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and it’s something I’ll never forget. We stopped at so many stunning places along the way, from Loch Ness to Glencoe, and even the charming little town of Kyleakin. Everything was really well organized, and you could tell they know how to make the most of the time. I’m already looking forward to doing the 5-day Skye tour next time to explore even more of this incredible island. Highly recommend it!

0verrall, the itinerary was excellent, providing loads of history. It would have been a great addition to include some folk or Gaelic music...a pub experience. One four star restaurant would be sufficient. The accomodation was comfortable with a staff ready to meet traveller's needs.

I would have liked to see more of the main n island plus some other islands. I free afternoon is enough. Also I would have liked that the big cairn be included.

The only let down was when the coach left the tour, and taxis and trains with the luggage was a struggle. Hotel selection, excursions, and guide were all first class. Had a very uncomfortable trip up to Glasgow, coach had no cooling, arrived ridiculously late, no arrangements regarding food, from time of meeting at 16.30 until breakfast the next morning.

Our tour guide, Tony Walker, was excellent. Since this was a first for this itinerary, there were a lot of travel issues and Tony was great at solving them. Culture Tours need to acknowledge how good a tour guide and leader he was for them. Here are my comments, in no special order. - More trip details as very vague in the itinerary, i.e. daily timetables for stops - Timely receipt of changes to original schedule of events - Notification of roommate and contact info when sharing room (prior to trip start) - Daily events need to be better scheduled. Too many crammed into some days causing early starts and late day endings. - Long distances to each night's stop causing long days on coach and trains - More centrally located hotels with dining options nearby. - Disliked hotel in Inverness. Staff almost rude and not helpful when we wanted a cab. Way too far from the city center. No amenities in the room - i.e. soap, shampoo, lotions, etc. - Name tags for tour members

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this, our first-ever bus tour. Our guide Chloe provided lots of historical, geographic, and cultural information through running commentary during our drives and at each of our stops. Her delivery was delightful and spirited, and she responded to our many questions with enthusiasm. At times the road noise made hearing her difficult, but Chloe turned up the volume when we let her know. We are in our 70's and were concerned about slowing the group down, but Chloe was able to accommodate me without impairing the others. The accommodations were quite comfortable and the breakfast yummy. We plan to take another tour soon.

Scotland was an experience of a lifetime made possible by a enjoyable planned tour with and experienced tour guide

Everything about this tour was fantastic. Can’t say enough about Alan, our guide. He made the trip for us. I would highly recommend this tour and the company

I don’t want to do a review yet. We missed the second week of the tour because we were sick.

Loved the trip! Our guide was amazing!

Excellent guide and driver. Itinerary was good. Hotel experiences were a bit uneven.

We had an excellent experience, Angela the guide was super (safe driving, clear communication, kind willingness to adjust, in my case recommending alternate walks when the group was embarked on a hike a bit above my level), hotels comfortable, food very good. Another lovely trip purchased from Tour Radar!

Skara Brae, the Stones of Stenness and the Brough of Birsay were all priorities for me and I was very fortunate to be able to experience all three!

Started well ended bad Our driver Rob a young but grossly overweight man kept the temperature in the bus cold all the time as he was sweating, while he only wore short sleeve shirt all passenger had 3 layers and coat on On the 8th day 12 out of the 18 were coughing and sneezing I took all precautions as I got weak immune system from cancer but fall ill as well so missed out on events plus on a world trip and now have to continue being sick it's simply unacceptable behaviour from a driver. We asked to put the temperature up but it never happened. This simply ruined my while experience

Wow! What a tour! Richard (tour leader) and Abby (driver) are possibly the the two most awesome Scot’s in the world! Thorough knowledge and willingness to find information was an absolute measure of Richard’s skill and experience as a guide! He was perfect as a guide, showing humour, kindness and preparedness to go above and beyond our expectations! Abby was the most confident and courteous driver I have ever experienced. Calm when dealing with tourist

Great trip - no hiccups, hotels fine considering the remoteness of some. Driver, Nat, and Guide, Mike, should be congratulated for their work to make this trip so good.

My Mom and I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Alex was so kind and thoughtful. He took very good care of us! Our bus driver Craig was also amazing. My Mom is 88 and Craig was so good to make sure she got down the bus stairs safely! Scotland and England are beautiful countries filled with rich history!

The tour leader was excellent. There is nothing to complain about and I would recommend the trip.

Too complicated but comprehensive.

Majit was a superb guide, extraordinary storyteller, and fabulous traveling companion. He made each whisky distillery tour special knowing the people at each one and a lot about the whiskies. The stay at the Bowmore bed and breakfast was delightful. The food was excellent and the room was clean, cozy and very comfortable. Andrew and Allison were perfect hosts. We enjoyed the cultural stops and the history talks as we drove. The country really came alive for us in ways we hadn’t expected!

A great all round whisky experience. All of the distilleries we stopped at offerred something unique and interesting beyond the whisky tasting which in itself was excellent. The driver was great and accomodation superb. Highly recommended.

Tour guide and bus driver were both excellent. Starting hotel was terrible and no where near the main area of Edinburgh. Breakfast there was a granola bar, croissant in a plastic wrap, a yogurt, and a juice box. Our hotel room in Inverness had a leaky ceiling which we reported to the front desk right away. They said they sent maintenance to fix the issue, but that evening it was leaking again. G Adventures itinerary is not reflective of the actual tour and for many extra activities listed there was no time to do them even if we had wanted to. Isle of Skye was a real highlight along with Inverness. We only received our tour vouchers the night before we left Canada and we had to call to get it. We will not consider G Adventures for any of our future travel needs.

This was my second G Adventures tour and it proved to be as enjoyable as the first one, which was the main reason my wife and I booked it. The small size of the tour group and the variety of people made it all the better. The tour offered a good balance between structured visits of major attractions and free time to explore on our own. I would not hesitate to recommend a G Adventures tour to anyone seeking a guided travel experience in the company of other like-minded travelers.

Had a great time, learned a lot from our guide, really enjoyed the scenery. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful trip. Everyday was filled with beautiful sights, phenomenal history, relaxing travel, perfect accommodations, delicious meals, and great times with new friends. *Dinner on the Orkney Islands is a challenge, and you'll want to make reservations in advance.

That’s all they do is try to upsell overpriced optional tours. You have very little time to spend at each location before moving on. If you want to be squeezed into a bus seat for almost 8 hours a day, take a bus tour. Also, don’t let Trafalger book your airfares unless you want the most indirect routes with worst airlines and deal with lost luggage.

Well organised tour. Guide was professional abd knowledgeable.
