“We had a great time with Allen! Would definitely request him again for any other Scottish tours that I did. He was very accommodating to my family who gets car sick easily and made sure we could sit at the front. He was also so kind to pull over every chance he got so we could see lots of different sites.”

All in all, It made for an entertaining bus tour and was amazing to see the beautiful Scottish highlands and countryside. Highly recommended!! Sandra and Shayne (from South Africa)”

“I’ll first start with the positives: The tour guide was nice and you get to see a lot of cute little cities. The amount of time at each stop is also good and the information to every stop was interesting. But there were some negatives: Both me and my friend felt a bit cold in the bus. But my biggest negative is that our tour was put together with an italian tour.

“Fraiser or Fraser (forgive me for the spelling if I got it wrong) has good Scottish sense of humor. I kept laughing quietly and a few slightly loud ones😆 He deliver his historic accounts with passion and his music choices are a plus. He gave practical advises on board for clueless passengers like us especially on toilet breaks. We had a really comfy ride. We’ve learned alot, including “wees’”, “ayy!”and “nooooh”😆😂 Most importantly, my 13 year old son have special needs and Fraser was very patient. He is genuinely kind and warm. Great lad. An absolute 10/10🤍”
