    We had a great experience in Scotland. Our tour director Ian was amazing and very knowledgable. The coach was comfortable and activities were interesting and fun. We saw so much of Scotland in our 12 days.

    Once on the trip it was good. The communication prior to getting there left something to be desired. (We were bumped out at one point and until I called was told there was nothing to be done, which caused a great deal of anxiety.) The tour director, Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and seemed enthusiastic about most subjects. The hotels were all good and beds (except one very soft one) were fairly comfortable. The add-ons, which I did all of were good except the last 2 were very slow meal service and the last one- farewell dinner was not great. But overall good food, (if a bit the same every time.) Since my friend and I had never been on a tour (booking all the ad-ons) may have been too much. We were exhausted and a few days prior to the end were wishing it was over. The packing up suitcases daily (or a couple of times 2 days) was also tiring and daunting since we've always traveled to a single destination and would only pack up the last day. The driver was very good. Probably next time I'll do a single destination and explore from there.
