    Our driver/ guide Paul was amazing. His passion and knowledge of Scottish history was second to none and he's such a good story teller. He took us to some really cool places and and always had a story of what had happened there in history. He also gave a a demonstration of Kilt wearing and sword use which people from the other bus tours around us were clearly jealous of and joined in to watch. If I have one complaint it was that we were spread out in different accomodation each night and they were not all of the same standard especially when it came to breakfast. The one I was in on Skye just had boxes of cereal in your room and that was it, which didn't impress me greatly especially when the others talked about their lovely cooked breakfast. It was also a fair walk out of town so dinner wasn't really an option.

    Chris was great! Very entertaining! The itinerary was great! Got to see a whole lot of Scotland in 5 days. Except for Inverness, the lodging left a lot to be desired. Oban didn’t have a working shower, and Skye left a bowl of cereal bars and called that breakfast. All were at least 1/2 mile away from food. There were a lot of unforeseen issues on this trip. The ferry caught fire so we had to drive to Skye, and the restaurants were closing by the time we got there. We also had to change buses two times due to company-wide equipment issues!!!

    I travelled through Scotland with the best tour guide this country has ever seen. During these five days I had the best history lessons of my whole life. JR is a fantastic tour guide with lots of knowledge, a great sense of humor, always reaching out a helping hand and always being in a good mood. In addition to that, the whole journey was very well organized. We always had enough time for exploring the region, visiting a castle or a town, trying local food and drinks. Also, the accommodations were very good: Tidy, clean and cozy with very friendly staff. Last but not least, JR is a great driver. All the time I felt very safe and very much enjoyed being on the road with him. It might not be the first thing to think of when talking about a journey, but it is indeed important and so I think it should be mentioned. Thank you JR for this very great journey!

    This tour was wonderful! Our guide/driver, Grahame, was so funny, kind, helpful, informative — everything you want a tour guide to be. We laughed and enjoyed the entire tour. All the hotels were great (except for one which was only marginal, but I told Grahame about it right away). I was in the UK for two weeks and this 5-day tour of Scotland was by far the highlight! We saw all the major sites as well as doing fun and silly things like feeding “coos” (cows). I just cannot praise this tour and our tour guide enough. If I were to go back, this is the tour I would do again and Grahame would be my choice for tour guide. He was amazing! Choose this tour and this company — you won’t regret it!

    The Highlands Experience -Scottish Choice tour was the best I could have hoped for. The 5 day tour hit all of the high points and some lovely add-ons by our tour guide/driver Graham D. The concern was for the safety and comfort of the guests first. One passenger had to go to the hospital, so Graham was able to reroute our stops to keep the tour moving. I would love to take this exact tour again. The scenery is breathtaking and Graham had so much historical knowledge that it made the tour that much more enjoyable.

    This was by far one of the greatest trips we've ever done. Our guide, Chris, was amazing. The hotels were mostly good, the visits were well planned and executed, the people were lovely, the schedule wasn't too hectic, and most of all the kids loved it!
