- AMary· October 30th, 2024Tour and tour guide was great. Weather was a plus.Trip date: August 2023Review collected by Collette
- ARobert· October 30th, 2024Seems like the route could have been planned better. We were in Inverness then drive 2 hours to Castletown and the back tracked to Inverness. There was a lot of bus time wish made it feel rushed when we were able to stop. Sarah was good but she had a big job with over 40 passengers. She was VERY organized. I’m comparing this trip to the Shades of Ireland. We had about 18 tourists and probably a smaller area to tour. My experiences may not be very comparable. I would much prefer a smaller group.Show moreTrip date: August 2023Review collected by Collette
- ACheryl· October 30th, 2024Really enjoyed the program! Graham, our driver, and Sarah our Tour Director were the best ever. (Our 3rd Collette experience) Loved the Tattoo and the sheep dog experience. Dunrobin gets better every time.Trip date: August 2023Review collected by Collette

- AMargaret· October 30th, 2024It was simply magical! WE had a great trip. Our tour manager Laura, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and funny!Trip date: August 2023Review collected by Collette
- AJoseph· October 30th, 2024We loved Scotland. The tour was spectacular. If I had to choose my favorite experience, it would be the Royal Military Tattoo. Loved the choice of hotels, so charming.Trip date: August 2023Review collected by Collette
- AAnn· October 30th, 2024There was too much time spent on the bus. The group was made up of 35 people, and not all of them were in good health, so the experiences were altered somewhat. I've traveled to all 7 continents, and 20 is the ideal number for a group, in my opinion.Trip date: July 2024Review collected by Collette
- AHeather· October 30th, 2024The Edinburgh Royal Tattoo that took place the last night of the tour was an amazing arrangement of bands, dance and theatrical performances by multiple countries: Scotland, England, Australia, Canada, India and the USA. I apologize if I left anyone out. The Orkney Islands by Ferry as well as Ballachulish and the Hotel there were also among my favorites. Love the Pipers!! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, humorous and great story and history teller. Great tour bus driver. Everything was great, the food, scenery everywhere we went was breathtaking.Show moreTrip date: August 2024Review collected by Collette
