4.6/5

MORE FREE TIME

There needs to be more free time... tour was too hectic, too much time spent in the coach, driving to magnificent hotels that we hardly got to appreciate... In hotel at 4pm.. dinner at 6pm... luggage out at 7am...out to coach at 8am .. to start all over again.
Skip Castles you cannot tour.. We had to miss tours just to get some free time in the rare hotel that we stayed in for two nights.

A great tour of England.

Ian Strong did a great job of narrating during the coach bus drive, and during his walking tours. Please note that the cabin temperature in the seating area of the bus was either too warm or way too cold. The bus temperature controller available to the driver could not make proper fine-tuning. Driver Danny did a great job driving. The daily routine had just the right amount of scheduled events versus "on-our-own" time to explore.

The trip was memorable and fun despite the mishap my wife incurred.

Our guide Di and driver Gordon were simple rhe best. And when my wife sprained her ankle at Dunrobin castle Di was johnny on the spot and helpful during the aftermath. GORDEN qas helpful with wheelchair i rented and the walker A&E gave us. The only downside were many of rhe other guests...extremely old and didnt listen well.

Beautiful Scenery

The itinerary was excellent. The Scottish Highlands were outstanding and the overall pace of the tour was excellent. The coach was kept clean and well maintained. The tour director was very good and the driver was outstanding.

Beautiful Weather

Amazing trip!

Amazing and well thought out itinerary. Our driver, Marie was outstanding and we learned so much from her. Our Scottish guide, Fiona, was so entertaining and knowledgeable.

It was GREAT!

Great tour with a wide variety of experinces. Accomodations were good with some being great, food was good, driver was excellent. Our tour guide gave us lots of information about the area along with just funny tidbits that weren't at all useful but were entertaining. .It was a good balance; I learned a lot about the history and culture and had a great time doing it. I spent a lot of time deciding which tour to take and I felt like I made the right decision.
