What people love about Glasgow to Edinburgh Tours
- Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights
The trip was great! It was well-organized and we had a lot of fun! The guide and driver was very knowledgeable and courteous.
- Scottish Royal
this guided tour was very good. we covered many places and did many activities. the guide was very good, always available, attentive and with a good knowledge. I recommend this tour
- Taste of Scotland - 5 Days/4 Nights
Overall it was a lovely experience. Our guide Becky and driver Paul were both excellent and had a load of interesting historical facts at their finger tips. The hotels used were excellent in a lot of ways but there were some drawbacks. The group we were in and including ourselves were quite elderly and most of us found it very hard to use the bath in the bathroom because it was too high to get in and out. Another thing we were disappointed with was the fact that we were the only travelers outside the USA and were the only couple who did not receive the promised travel pack which included the important CIE luggage tags. Apart from that we really enjoyed Scotland especially the Military Tattoo which is an experience thaT shouldn’t be missed.
