I took my 22 year old nephew with me on this tour as a gift for his college graduation. I was a bit worried he would not like the pre planned daily scheduled / excursions / dinner, but he absolutely loved it! We have not stopped sharing our experience with family and friends! I look forward to more adventures planned with Affordable Tours /Trafalgar !

The tour was everything we hoped. It is well balanced between city and nature. The Isle of Skye was a highlight and well worth the long bus day. We really enjoyed the included and optional excursions that involved connecting with the local people. Highly recommended.

Our tour guide Malcom was excellent. Born and raised in Scotland, he was very knowledgeable not only of the complex history of his country, but gave us a glimpse of the present daily life there. He was very attentive to our needs. And whenever the ever changing weather of the Highlands dampened plan A, he always had a very good plan B up his sleeve. I will most likely want him back as my guide for my next trip to Scotland. There is so much more to explore. Nigel, our bus driver, showed us his remarkable skill, driving us through those oh so very narrow roads up in the Highlands! Another highlight for me was to experience a shepherd farm. I can't remember the shepherd's name but to see him work with 15 plus dogs and the sheep was very interesting. The meal at the Ladard farm was also a remarkable experience. I found the people in Scotland very warm, friendly and honestly polite. My only little disappointment was that we didn't get to go in to see the Holyroodhouse, which was listed as one of the places we were going to see. We only drove around it. I was looking forward to walking this iconic site. Everything else was fantastic!
