Traveller reviews
My wife and I booked a custom private tour for our honeymoon. From the very beginning, we knew this would be something unique. Rather than exchange multiple emails, Niall suggested we have a Zoom chat to get to know one another and plan an experience. This was nine months prior to our planned departure. Once everything was set, we received frequent chechins from Niall, Kylie, and Nikki to confirm choices and answer questions. When our departure day arrived, we were picked up by our phenomenal guide, Heather. It was amazing how personalized the tour was. Everything was tailored to our interests. Heather provided detailed historical backgrounds for every place that we visited. She was entertaining, educational, and proved to be a great companion on our adventures. From Stirling Castle, through Oban, Iona, Tobermory, Portree, and Inverness, Heather made sure that we were well informed. We are totally satisfied with our experience with Scottish Guided Tours. We highly recommend booking a trip with them.
Scottish Guided Tours were fantastic to deal with from first contact with Nikki and Niall to follow up after the tour was over. Great communication and detail. Our guide, William, was extremely knowledgeable and shared this in an interesting and enjoyable way. He was also a very professional driver and we felt safe on those very narrow roads. We would highly recommend Scottish Guided Tours to anyone visiting Scotland.
This was a perfect tour when you do not have time to actually stay in Isle of Skye for a couple of days, but want to get a taste of the Highlands and the Isle. Our tour guide, Ross, provided us with old and new history (which my family loves) as well as regaled us with the Scottish stories and legends, and also found us an open coffee place at 8 in the morning! My boys (10 and 12) loved the tour. It was also nice to have the flexibility to stop wherever you want (which for us included a little yarn store on the side of the road that spins and dyes their own yarn) and have some say in the itinerary. All in all, it was a fantastic day!
Scottish Irish Tours was fantastic to work with. They were incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. Heather was a wonderful guide! We had a lot to accomplish in a short time and she fit it all in with the highlight being our stop in Glencoe and the climb up to the Old Man of Storr. Heather’s knowledge of the history and areas heightened every experience. Well done!
An unforgetable trip thanks to Heather and Scottish Guided Tours My brother and I wanted to fullfill our elderly mother's wish to travel once more to beautiful Scotland. back in early July. I visited Scotland with my daugher back in December last year and has such an amazing trip thanks to Scottish Guided Tours that i decided to request their help again to design a tour specifically tailored for our mother. Niall, and Nikki spent time with me to understand our needs, i.e a tip to teh Highlands, including mix of history, nature sights and a visit of the isle of Skye. On the morning of our first day in Edinburgh, we were greated by Heather with a smile as beautifu as the sun that was radiating that morning . My whole family was immediately charmed by Heather. We knew were in good hands from the start. In terms of the tour, through the ighlands we were extremely lucky to get sunshine every day so we saw ll the sights with the best light possible.So each site was as spectacular as the other. Heather always shared fascinating historical facts at each stop and punctuating her explanations with incredible stories and legends. From a travel persective, it was simply as spectacular trip that combined the beauty of the natural sights and historical sights. Every day was organized perfectly allowing us to see all of the key sights we wanted to visit but at the same time not too hectic to drain the energy out of our elderly mother. Heather was just the perfect tour guide throughout the tour but more than anything else, the care and attention she provided our elderly mother time and time again throught the trip was simply out of this world. The most telling proof of how fantastic she was is the fact that despite our mother's early stage of dementia, her trip to Scotland is stil fresh in her memory. She keeps talking about it and speaking so highly of Heather. What better proof than this to inform everyone how great Heather and Scottish Guided Tours are.. What sets them apart is their human touch! My broher and I will never be able to thank them enough for being able to create such a great lasting memory with our family.
I worked with Scottish Guided Tours for a clients trip and was so happy with the service I received and that my client received.
Our day with Sandy in Inverness and the Highlands was the highlight of our trip! Sandy was great and the day was just magical. It was worth every penny. We will definitely use this company again when we return to the Scottish Highlands!
We thank you for a wonderful trip! Specifically, we wanted to say how much we all enjoyed our guide, William, and his knowledge, humor, and handling of our tour. Stellar work all around!
