Ed was the perfect guide for a Girl's Day Trip. We had some extenuating circumstances on a previous tour earlier in the week that precluded us from completing it. We decided to try a private tour for the end of our trip and so glad we did. We had a few ideas of what we wanted to see and he was able to help us customize a day trip to see as many of those items as we could. He was a perfect tour guide and so patient and kind when we wanted to stop and look at various things and places (hairy cows and shopping!). We never felt rushed during our trip and he was also able to guide us through several castles so we go to see everything in our allotted time. Had we toured these places by ourselves I feel like we would have missed so much. We had a great time on our day trip and I would highly recommend Ed for a private tour of Scotland and the country side.

Excellent tour of Oban, Glencoe, Highland Lochs and Castles. I was the only one on the tour when lockdown eased and Stuart the tour guide showed up just for me! Great policy. Stuart was humble and a great tour guide. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on tour. He was very knowledgeable and a good taste in traditional Scottish music. Amazing sights of Scotland, cannot miss if you're in the country.

What an incredible experience. I’d definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to know and see more of this beautiful country ????????????????????????????. George was very friendly, kind and knowledgable. Each stop was absolutely breathtaking! My main reason for booking the tour was visiting Oban and I’m so pleased I had plenty of time to wonder around, eat and visit the tower. Technical details you might want to know: We came back to the bus station at 6:40 pm ( I got in on time to get my bus back to Aberdeen yeii) butwe had perfect weather and minimal traffic Plenty of stops. Public toilets in Oban charge 50p so make sure you have coins. Thank you for helping me with that George . You are a star (in Netflix and real life) PS: I absolutely LOVE the Scottish playlist ???????????????????? Thank you for showing us around ????????????????????????????
