    The tour was very interesting and gave us knowledge about the history and culture of Scottland. We loved the countryside along the way and the two day trip to the Hebrides Islands was an eye opener. Paul was entertaining and patient with us. He gave us a lot of interesting facts and insights into the Country.

    We had an amazing time. Our guide Andy made the trip for us, friendly, funny and passionate about Scotland and its nature. The scenery was breathtaking and I am really glad I got to visit Lewis and Haris. Highly recommended.

    Mark - our tour guide was excellent. itinerary could have been arranged better by not being in Stornaway on the 'sabbath' or leaving later for the coach and going straight to the ferry terminal after sightseeing. B & B's were very good. It would have made life easier if coach had pockets in the back of the seats but otherwise it was comfortable except for the seat belts which were very tight and uncomfortable. I would certaily take another tour with them.

    Mark was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about Scotland and it's history. He was able to bring the places we were seeing to life. Except for our accommodations in Stornaway we were very disappointed.
