The tour was SUPERB. I really enjoyed every single location we visited with such breathtaking views and lots of history behind. The tour guide, John, was extremely professional and friendly. He provided lots of information on the places we visited and a really enjoyable soundtrack to our journey. He also managed to create the right atmosphere among those participating in the tour…who were just strangers a few hours ago. I am really thankful for all this. Excellent value for money. Please, keep on providing this experience!!

Despite being unfortunate with the weather on the day, we really enjoyed the tour of Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands. Our guide Stuart was very knowledgeable, friendly, and provided lots of information during the tour. There was plenty of stops along the way to get out and take photos of the fantastic views around us. We booked the cruise around Loch Ness which was a great experience before getting back on the bus to continue the trip. We look forward to booking another tour for the next time we are back in Scotland.

I would love to talk about our experience because it was beyond our expectations. First of all, our tour leader was awesome. He was really funny. He told us many important things about the places during the journey. I forgot his name and I am so sorry for that. Maybe you can check the driver`s name on that day and thank him on our behalf. The journey was well planned. We never got bored because we stopped at many well chosen places. The view was incredibly impressive at all the places we stopped for a break. The coach was also very comfortable. I am surprised to hear that you are a small family company because it looked like a really professional travel company to us. This tour was the best thing we did until now and we will definitely do it again with you in the future. We have already decided to take a 3 or 4 day tour next time. We are really excited for it. It is worth every penny and I already told my friends and family about how beautiful it was and told them they should book a tour if they ever have a chance. Thank you so much for everything. I guess Discover Scotland Tours will become our way of travelling for me and my husband until we book every tour you have 🙂 See you next time!

I spent the best day with our guide Gary on this 1-day tour ! The group was really nice and I loved the amount of places we could visit in only 1 day. We had enough time to enjoy every stop. Gary was really caring, remembered all of our names and was very eager to satisfy everyone one the tour, with special stories and really fun moments ! I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Scotland and wanting to see a lot in little time, Thanks a lot!

Colin was wonderful! Knowledgeable about the history, amusing comments, and upbeat and positive throughout. He kept us informed of when we were arriving where, what to expect and get done in a timely fashion, and when to be back to the bus to depart. So there were no surprises, just more time to enjoy the areas. The stops were beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour! We would definitely recommend others to use your services.

We arrived earlier than the expected time and Nick our guide was already there. He was friendly and very informative the entire drive. He made the tour feel very personal. The sights were all beautiful and there were plenty of potty and snack breaks. Every stop he gave us plenty of time for photos and interesting trivia. We got back right on time. Highly recommend! Thank you,

While at the world Soil Science Congress in Glasgow, I decided to savour a bit of Scotland. I have taken many tours in many countries, but the trip to Glencoe and the Highlands was one of the best I have experienced, and excellent value for money. I hope to bring my wife on my next trip to Scotland and take the same your again. I want her to experience what I experienced. I want to savour it again. The driver/tour guide  Garry was in a class of his own, and simply the best. He was efficient, informative, cheerful…a real barrel of laughs. Even on the way back after a long day, he led a group sing-along. With his Scottish outfit, he really fitted the part. When I left him and the very congenial, mainly young people from Pakistan and the US, I felt a tinge of sadness after such a lovely day. Your company is to be complimented with such quality tours. Thank you again.

We really enjoyed our trip, and we absolutely loved our Tour Leader Karen. She made our day really pleasant with her cheerfulness and kindness, and made the whole trip extremely interesting by giving us a lot of interesting information and fan facts about the things we saw. I was actually impressed by how many things she knows! And we also really liked the Scottish music she put in the car! There’s really nothing I could possibly complain about, we spent a beautiful and memorable day.

My husband and I had a wonderful day and Scott our driver guide was fabulous. Yes it was a long day, but it didn’t feel like it as Scott kept us entertained the whole day. The bus was full but still very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend Discover Scotland, and ,in fact, we are looking forward to booking again with you on a 3 or 4 day excursion.
