Do Not Use this Company if you want an average tour experience.

From our first interaction we had a warm and friendly email confirming our booking, then 2 weeks before the tour a looking forward to welcoming you, email then days before another full email welcoming us in the coming days for our tour - the other company we received a cold reservation email and nothing else - this was our first impression we were in for a treat with D.S.T.
The day of our tour arrived and off we set out on foot to join our tour. As we approached the bays of where all the tour groups departed from we heard first, before then seeing this larger than life magnigicent darling of a man dressed in a kilt greeting and joking with folks - Whilst we giggled at this Big Man's humour, My husband turned to me and said "I hope we get him", and as Luck would have it Scott was our guide - Happy Days!
Well......
From Go to woah Scott took us on what can only be described as one of THE BEST day tours we have ever done from anywhere around the globe.
Our tour was intimate - there was 3 of us, and to say it was personalised would be an understatement.
Scott was a wealth of knowledge, guiding us through every region we were travelling to with tales of new and old with nothing but passion in his delivery.
Scott made stops we would never have had on some of the bigger tours still on route but petsonalised stops for photos, being our photographer so we could have nice pics of our day, which was a bleak contrast and disapointment to the waste of money tour we did with another company the next day that litterally dumped us for 2hrs in a village that wasnt even open !
We had just finished a tour of Ireland and our tour with Scott was our first day in Scotland. With hand on heart we saw more in 1 day with Scott in this tour than what we did in a whole week in Ireland!
Words really cannot describe how incredibly thankful and totally fortunate we were to have
*Elite Customer Service
*A guide who hands down was a totally passionate and extremely personable and who completely Made our tour.
Scott if your reading this, Thank you so so much. You are a total Sweetheart and we cant thank you enough for a day that was completely amazing and utterly memorable. We Loved you Hen! If you ever come to Perth Australia our door is open to you xx
As we travelled today with a miserable monotitoned bore of a guide, on a crammed busload of tourists, regretting every second of this glorified bus trip, we thought of you and wished we had canx and come joined you today, simply for the incredible company and comentary
In closing as I wrote in the title, if you want an average, boring, unpersonalised experience, dont book with Discover Scotland Tours, but if your looking for the creme de la creme of Scotland Tours, Dont waste your time searching for the others, just book with Discover Scotland Tours.
Highly Recommend and will be telling all our friends and Family visiting to only use Discover Scotland Tours, when visiting Scotland.
Thank you team for looking after us, Merry Christmas and Happy Hogmanay to you all xox
