Guides such as Stephen, Rod, Paul S, and Nick bring Scottish history, music, humor, and local stories to the long drives.

“Our guide Stephen was amazing, a true Scottish man with Scottish humor. We were able to do the full 3 day tour despite only having 8 hours of sunlight. My favorite was Isle of Skye and we were able to go to the sights for a full day. 3 days is enough to see the highlands, but some souvenirs and take pictures. We got back to Edinburgh super early than expected time and was dropped off at the city center which was convenient.”

“Paul S. was a great and hilarious guide. We saw a lot in 3 days. I feel like a couple stops may have been unnecessary but I understand the driving hours have to be logged properly. I also think some more periods of unnarrated driving could’ve been worked in as it was just a lot to listen to commentary the whole time. BUT this tour really showed us a lot of places I wouldn’t have known about and Paul was very knowledgeable. My favorites were the Cairns, Glencoe and Inverness!”
