Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights
Perfect 7 days.. guide great. Hotels great.
Leah
Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights-An absolute delight from beginning to end
I loved that we got to see so much of the highlands in such a short time. I feel like there's probably a lot more to see, but we got to do so much! I loved learning so much more about the history of Scotland too. We even had glorious weather!

Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights
Excellent trip! The itinerary lived up to my expectations and we had the benefit of glorious weather for most of the trip. The hotels were lovely, especially the Athol Palace Hotel. Inveraray Castle and Glamis Castle were particular highlights of mine as was the whiskey distillery and sheepdog demonstration. I was a solo traveller and everyone in the group was very friendly. I would recommend this tour.

CIE Tours Customer
Scottish Dream - 8 Days/7 Nights-Excellent tour overall. Learned a great deal about Scottish history.
Tour guide (Onya) shared a wealth of information on a broad range of subjects. Great job! Bus driver (Kim) also did a great job squeezing through some tight spots!
Would have liked more time in some locations (for example Glamis, St. Andrews, Edinburgh), less in others (Armadale Castle, e.g.). Bus was comfortable with extra leg room, but generally too cold. (It's difficult to understand why a vehicle designed for group touring cannot have a system than maintains a consistent and comfortable temperature throughout the cabin area.) Hotels and food were excellent except for the challenge of achieving a cool enough nighttime temperature due to the lack of air conditioning or adequate means of ventilation (but, this is to be expected in Europe).
A minor nit is that the locations of the hotels were not conducive to accessing local culture and venues in the evenings - we were stuck at the hotel (especially true in Edinburgh).
