This trip exceeded our expectations! Perfect combination of scheduled events along with free time to explore on our own! The tour guides Fiona and Ben were the best and just made the trip even more enjoyable! our only snag was the arrangements to be picked up at the airport on our day of arrival did not go smoothly. We were never able to connect successfully with the driver and had many issues with the numbers we were provided to call. Finally had to book a taxi to our hotel. We would recommend having a more effective firm that would be there waiting for your arrival with your name at hand instead of having to try and make contact. That was the only issue and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

This was a great experience in so many ways: 1. Being able to see and explore the world heritage and neolithic sites in Northern Scotland. 2. Seeing much of Northern Scotland in the early Spring and learning more about Scottish history from our excellent guide, driver, and general man in charge, Murray. 3. Hearing wonderful music from local Scottish musicians in the evening. 4. Having great food and accommodations along the way. 5. The Scotland Tours people are uniformly helpful and pleasant every step of the way. 6. Having a great group of people to travel with and get to know. We will remember this trip fondly.

The perfect balance between being on your own and the convenience of a tour service. Well selected stops of interest, accommodations were above expectation, and there was ample time for exploring on your own. (Translation: Shopping.) Our guide/Driver Gail was just a gem; an expert driver which put everybody at ease, a great story teller, and a fine singing voice to add to the good times. This was our third trip with Scotland Folk Tours; we've already signed up for our next trip in 2025. Most highly recommended.
