Once again, Globus met and exceeded my expectations. I was very happy with all that was included in the tour price and found the excursions reasonably priced and enjoyable. The tour director was friendly and professional. it was going to be his last tour. The driver was skilled and professional. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of bathtubs in all but 1 of the hotels, but was very very pleased with staying in not one but two! Victorian era resorts across the sea from the ocean. So lovely. The country of Scotland is beyond beautiful and that Is why it was on my list to return. Thanks once again, Globus. I don't look anywhere else.

My Globus Scotland tour, Highland Fling, was amazing. Our tour guide and driver were both very capable and knowledgeable as we traveled around Scotland and into the Highlands. I loved every minute of this tour.

It is good to know that someone who is proficient in English can be easily reached. After a 5 year break in my solo travel to Europe, I was a bit nervous but all my questions were answered no matter how silly.

The trip was awesome! The tour guide and the bus driver were A++++ They both deserve 5+******. Daily, continuous, non stop. Hotels were nice, except for 1, but other than that, the trip was enjoyable. Nice group of people we traveled with. Overall I give this tour an A+... We will definitely be using Globus again. Thanks to John Scott for booking our accommodations and making necessary changes due to my brothers passing in the interim of planning this tour.
