“The perfect time to go as it is the end of the tourist season and there are less people. (The weather was also fantastic.) Our tour guide Iain was brilliant. He had loads of history knowledge and funny stories. He also knew the area well so he had loads of options of things to see if what we had planned was closed. Each of the accomodations were lovely, and each day was full of beautiful places to see and great places to eat. Loads of cute villages to have a "wee nosey".”

“Many many highlights but often not enough time to fully appreciate them. Very very little guidance as to where or what to do once you’re off the bus at a particular spot. Lots and lots of bathroom stops!!! Too many? Accommodation were very clean and basic. Guide provided entertaining and informative patter on the bus. Also good music playlist. Not Rabbies fault but darn it sometimes your fellow travelers can be annoying!”
