Hi,
Just wanted to say what a fabulous one day tour I had with you on 13th October (Loch Ness). My driver was "Bill", the best storyteller I have ever heard! He has such a passion for Scotland and its people which he brilliantly shares with everyone. We were hanging on his every word! He is a credit to your company and to Scotland! I went home having been given a "heart for Scotland" and can't stop talking about it! I've bought lots of books, I'm learning its history and I'm planning another holiday to Edinburgh with my daughter from Australia.
Thanks again for a wonderful day beyond all my expectations!! Keep up the good work... Joy Brewster, East Midlands, October 2007
I just wanted to thank you and yours for the wonderful tour I took the other day. The guide Colin was very knowledgeable, funny, and a great story teller. I had a wonderful time. The highlands and Loch Ness are absolutely amazing. I only regret that I could not go on more during my short tour of Scotland.
Thank you for the wonderful time and hopefully I will be able to return. Josie Jimarez-Howard, July 2007

1. The Classic Tour
Eilean Donan Castle
Day One
We leave Edinburgh via the Forth Road Bridge towards historic Dunkeld in Highland Perthshire. After a short woodland walk we continue north past Blair Castle towards the capital of the Highlands, Inverness. After lunch we visit the world's most mysterious stretch of water, Loch Ness before driving west to the Isle of Skye. Our journey to the 'Misty Isle' takes us through Glen Shiel and onto the stunning Eilean Donan Castle, one of the most spectacular locations in Scotland. Night one is spent at the renowned Plockton Hotel, with superb seafood.
Day Two
A day tour of Skye including the Cuillin Mountains, Portree, Trotternish Peninsula and lots of other surprises! The unique scenery of this island is a pleasure for customers and guides alike. Night two back in Plockton or in the country house splendour of Braelangwell.
Day Three
During the spring and summer months we leave Skye by ferry and arrive on the mainland at Mallaig. Our drive to Fort William takes us past the famous Glenfinnan Monument where Prince Charles Edward Stuart landed on the Scottish mainland to begin the ill-fated Jacobite campaign of the mid 18th century. After lunch in Fort William we travel through fabulous Glen Coe, across wild Rannoch Moor and through the Trossachs to Stirling Castle. This magnificent fortress is a fantastic way to wind up three superb days in the Highlands!
For a four day Classic Tour, an overnight can be taken at Dunkeld and Birnam or Pitlochry with superb opportunities for woodland walking. This tour can be built around a traditional music session music depending on the night.
