Taste of Scotland - 5 Days/4 Nights - Loved my Taste of Scotland tour
We seen a lot in 4 days, was a whirlwind but well worth it. I would definitely recommend this tour. Hope you get Laurence and Louise.

2024 Taste of Scotland - 5 Days/4 Nights
Fast paced, comprehensive tour of Scotland..
The itinerary gave us a great overview of Scotland and hit major places of interests in four days. Hotels and meals were excellent. Favorite was the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club. An hour, at most, was not quite enough time for places like the Kelingrove Art Gallery. An additional 30 minutes would have been appreciated.
