Great trip! (except for the coughs and colds that went around the bus…)

Where to begin ? This was our first tour ever, didn't think we were "tour" kinda folks. But we knew Stephen so took a chance. We loved so many things, for the most part it was perfect and what wasn't , we were able to overlook. Alexis was a rock star leading up to the tour and never failed to answer my many questions cheerfully. I think Fiona and Gail made the trip what it was, both in their own unique ways made Scotland come to life. Two different styles and were perfect for the place and time. We will never forget Fiona standing in the wind, waving her umbrella and rolling her "R's" so dramatically to make history come alive Gail was a wonderful story teller and had a beautiful , gentle way of connecting what we were seeing to bits of interesting info and gorgeous music. We didn't know what to expect as far as accommodations, all were adequate. The nights arranged by you were brilliant ! We loved the whiskey night in Edinburgh, the pub night in Stirling was a stand out too. Would we do another tour with you? I think we would and would certainly not hesitate to recommend you to family and friends. Stephen was lovely and even tho we've known him for 13 years, we really got to know him in a different light which was wonderful. Our tour mates were good, its a dice roll when you bring together people with no knowledge of their age/interests etc. Thank you for everything. We will be looking at your other offerings for 2026 when the time comes.

We travel a lot and this is definitely in the top trips we have taken. It was so well organized, and our tour guides and music hosts made Scotland come alive with their stories and songs. The activities and tour leaders allowed for a group of strangers to come together as friends. We got to see "authentic" Scotland, not the traditional "tourist traps".
