“The trip was great, the guide Jim is very nice, smiling and you can see that he loves working with people. Jim speaks very clearly, with a nice English accent, thanks to which you can really understand a lot of the information that the guide provides. Comfortable, modern bus, pleasant Scottish music in the background. The weather in mid-October was wonderful, a real golden Scottish autumn. Breathtaking views, great atmosphere in a small group. I took part in the trip alone and felt really comfortable. I will definitely take part in similar offers :)”

“Every stop has something to offer. It was a long day, but we got in a lot. The best part for me was the cruise on Loch Ness. The vistas were really quite beautiful. The little towns were lovely as were all the people. A word of advice, sit in the front of the van to avoid being bounced. The tour guide did a great job except that ny the end of the day, I was ready to just listen to some music. His selecting were quite good. Overall a great day!”

Third stop was to take photos of Fiddle Bow Rock. The fourth was discovering that the name of Cullen skink soup, which I love, comes from the village of Cullen. The fifth stop in Portsoy was a spoiler for Peaky Blinders fans. The sixth stop was to reflect on Macpherson's death. The seventh was a nice walk to the ruins of a beautiful castle.
