This excursion was amazing. John, our tour guide made the bus ride so much fun with his sense of humor. He told us all about the history of Scotland which was wonderful. We loved the castle/fort. I would recommend this tour to everyone going there for a visit.

The tour guide Stuart was awesome.  I highly recommend him.  He was very friendly and knowledeable about the sights.   He also answered any questions we had on Scottish customs, traditions, music, food, politics, agriculture, etc.  I learned a lot about Scotland from him and the tour.  It was my first visit to Scotland.  Your country is so beautiful. I originally tried to book an Outlander Tour, but they were all booked.  I am glad I was able to utilize your services and the tour we took was great and I didn’t feel that I missed out on the Outlander sights.  Stuart did a drive by of Doune Castle so I got a little bit of my Outlander.  And we got to see a few sights in Glasgow before returning to the ship as we had some extra time. I will recommend to my friends who depend on me for travel advice to use your company and your tours.  Thanks again for a great experience.

I took the Highlands tour visiting the village of Luss and Stirling Castle with tour guide Michael.  It was my favorite tour on my trip.  I loved seeing Loch Lomond and the quaint village of Luss.  We had plenty of time to have lunch in a nice town even though it was raining.  We saw two castles and Michael was very knowledgeable and informative.  He also warned us about the high prices at the dreaded gift shops.  Lol.  The highlight for me was the opportunity to meet a Highland coo.  It was amazing.  If I ever can return, I would do the day all over again! Many thanks.

Our guide was fantastic as he included stopping to see highland animals. He also told funny stories, gave some history and took us to where we were supposed to go.  Loved that our tickets to the castle were included.  A very enjoyable tour.

Not a lot to say about our tour except it was fantastic, from first seeing your fleet convoy into the dock area, it looked like we had made the right decision, 1st impressions were of a very well run company with brilliant vehicles. Our meet and greet made us feel at ease within the first minute. Fergie looked brilliant in his Scottish attire . The gift bag was a great bonus. all the destinations were very well chosen and exactly what we were hoping for with plenty of comfort/ toilet breaks. the stops were just the right length and I’m sure everyone comments of the bagpipes being played…what a treat. The guide was informative and extremely knowledgeable on Scottish history. He got us back to the ship exactly on time. Thanks for a great day.

We had an amazing time. The guide was knowledgeable, pleasant and the bagpipes put the tour over the top. The goody bag of local food and drinks was a pleasant surprise along with the fact that the admissions were included in the price of the tour. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants the best immersion in Scotland you can get in one day. Thank you for the best tour on our cruise.

It was the perfect day! We loved everything. Callum was an excellent driver and guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and personable. He is really a star.  We have already been talking about next time if we should do the same tour again because we loved it so much or another of your tours so that we see something new. Thank you all for making our visit to Scotland so wonderful.

I want to thank Discover Scotland Tours for a truly exceptional experience. I travel quite frequently and have been on many tours all over the world. It’s definitely worth noting that the service and experience provided from your team makes Discover Scotland Tours stand out in excellence among other tours I’ve bee on. Although I was only in Scotland for the day to do a shore excursion, the members of your tour team left such a great impression on what the country has to offer. I plan to come back and visit for a longer stay to explore even more.  It also pleases me to know that you are a small family company and are able to maintain such a high level of quality in your tours and service, which most larger tour companies struggle to do.Our tour Loch Lomond, the Trossachs & Stirling Castle Shore Excursion with Jeff was wonderful. He had lots of info and fun facts about everything. I also liked that fact that Jeff was very personable. It made the tour feel like it was being given by a good friend vs a total stranger. I also appreciate that fact that when I expressed I was a huge Outlander Fan he was able to point out stuff on our tour that related to Outlander even though our tour wasn’t the” Outlander Shore Excursion”. Again, thank you for the great experience you gave me. I can’t wait to return to Scotland and hopefully book another tour with Discover Scotland Tours! Cheers! P.S. I loved all the highland coo!

We very much enjoyed Scotland (would love to move there) and very much enjoyed our tour.  We would recommend your company and the tour we were on.

27/08/19 – Virginia

Overall, I can emphatically say that our group was very happy with your tour company.    We loved the fact that we traveled in mini-coaches that seated a smaller group of people rather than the big buses.   It made the tour more enjoyable and personable. Andrew was our kilted drive/guide and he was cheerful, knowledgeable, kind and very accommodating.  Since the individuals on our bus had no other plans that day, there was no rush to return to the ship by a certain hour.  This allowed Andrew to take small detours along the way to view some additionally beautiful sites.  During long stretches of road when Andrew wasn’t speaking, he replaced the silence by playing some folk/celtic music.  It made everyone smile while we admired the country side outside our window. Our tour was 8 hours, we covered a lot but no one wanted it to end!  If we had an additional day in Glasgow, I would have not hesitated to book another tour with your company. Keep doing what your are doing.  We loved it!
