    Scottish Highlands & Islands Tour- Pacing was great. Many sights seen & history learned about. There wasn't much on the last day. Tour guide & driver were both excellent. Staying 2 nights at each hotel (except the 1st and last night) was appreciated and made things much more relaxed.

    Scottish Highlands & Islands Tour- Pacing was excellent. Staying 2 nights at each hotel is MUCH better than having to repack & do luggage each day. Our tour guide Matthew Bell & tour driver Mark were both outstanding!

    The itinerary was thorough and when the passenger ferry cancelled Globus rebooked our group on the larger ferry so we could still get to Orkney, which was important to most of the group.
