“My husband and I only had a few days in Glasgow and we wanted to the see the Highlands in the best way possible. This tour was it. Simon was our driver for the day and we could not ask for a better driver/guide. Simon's communication is impeccable, he's very knowledgeable, extremely warm and friendly. Simon started the tour by asking if there's anything that we wanted to see besides the set itinerary, I asked to see the Highland cows if possible. Simon was able to find a nearby park within the city and showed us to the wonderful cows (THANKS AGAIN SIMON!). We were able to see so many…”

We only knew they were horse statues but they are 30 meters high and super impressive! Stuart told us ALL about them and we walked around the area, taking them in and then up close. No rushing! Lots of pictures! Very impressive! We proceeded to the Falkirk Wheel. It too was way bigger than we expected - massive engineering design. My husband & our friend are both engineers & they were loving this! We…”

“The tour was nice the tour operator adjusted the tour itinerary early enough, we did the Wallace monument instead of starling castle and we decided and talk through how we wanted the tour. The only problem was we had two vehicles for our tour one car had 5 and the other car had 4 people. The bigger car's A/C wasn't working properly and it was pretty hot for people in the back and that driver didn't even bring the water which is included in the itinerary! the driver with 4 people was nicer he brought water and the ride was very comfortable.”
