Two Words. Brian Smith. Our tour (one day to Sterling Castle and Callendar, not an option above) was completely made by our tour guide. He is thoughtful and funny. Kept the tour light with humor and a killer playlist. Pick up point was easy to find. Tour was well organized. Cost was fair for what we got. Scotland is the 14th country that I've traveled to on vacation and I don't normally book guided tours. This one is worth it and make sure to ask for Brian.

Going to island 🏝. Before the high tide. The driver was excellent and very knowledgeable regarding the story of Scotland.

Lucky was a wonderful driver and did a great job navigating those narrow rural Scottish roads. He kept the tour on schedule so we didn't miss anything. Seeing Bamburgh Castle and walking on the beach there was really neat. I really enjoyed Alnwick Castle, especially the state rooms with all the beautiful historic furnishings. Be sure and book your broomstick lessons in advance if you are a Harry Potter fan! Look on the Alnwick Castle website for details. The last stop at Lindisfarne was special since we had time to walk out to the castle. This is a great trip to go on when you get tired of the crowds in Edinburgh.

Very nice tour. Lucky was very accommodating when we needed to get cash for Alnwick Castle Entry. We do wish that was part of the description that we needed cash for the castle entry. Holy island was amazing. The post office is family owned and had amazing coffee. Alnwick was a sight to see. I do wish the gardens were a bit less commercial. Overall the tour was great and Lucky had some great stories to tell.

This was really a pleasant trip. With Ryan as our tour guide the day was really smooth. Besides great knowledge of Scotish culture in general and places we have visited that day, he has a great sense of humor and he brought an excellent and positive atmosphere to the trip. Thank you Ryan!
