Tour Experience
Pros:
"This tour was definitely the highlight of my stay in May and the best decision I made."
"Hands down one of the best experiences we had while traveling."
"Can’t speak highly enough about this company, the four day tour to Isle of Skye, and our guide (Billy)."
"Took the 1 day Glencoe and Loch Ness tour. Absolutely the best tour."
"I took the 'Loch Ness, Glencoe & the Highlands' day tour from Edinburgh and was very happy with the overall experience."
"First of all, we want to thank Discover Scotland for providing a top notch experience for us."
"We did the Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Loch Shiel day tour today and our tour guide (and photographer and comedian and historian) Robert was amazing."
"This was an absolutely beautiful tour. Our tour guide Robert was so fantastic."
Cons:
"Unfortunately, this trip is not a Glencoe one as she stopped only at a random waterfall(could have been avoided) and not at Glencoe as she said there’s no parking which is kinda not acceptable."
"Frances is the best. She's genuinely nice and she makes the bus ride really pleasant and fun. However, the tour itself is not worth it."
Guides
Pros:
"Our guide was amazing, not only was he funny, but also interesting! I really appreciated hearing about all the history, mysterious stories."
"Marco, our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and funny too!"
"The overall tour was great. Frances was amazing and kept talking about Scottish history."
"Our driver was Marco who was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, personable, and an excellent driver."
"We took a tour with Alan a few days ago and had the best time."
"Marco, the guide, gave us many interesting (historical, at times funny and other informative) bits of information throughout the day."
"Besides having the perfect guide with Stuart being the ultimate expert guide having lived on Skye."
"Our tour guide (and photographer and comedian and historian) Robert was amazing."
Cons:
"None mentioned."
Group Dynamics
Pros:
"Travelling solo, I didn't know what to expect, but I was so pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to feel comfortable within the group."
"I really appreciated the smaller tour size that Discover Scotland had."
"We had a small group (7 people) but everyone bonded and was so lovely to be with."
"We selected a tour with a 16 person allowance and it worked out great."
"I also enjoyed that it was only a small group of people."
"We were also lucky to have a very small group tour with lovely people."
"The group size (site says max 16, we had 9) with couples and families helped the experience be enjoyable."
"I found out about Discover Scotland through an online search. As I was travelling with family (parents and sister), I was researching different tours for the highlands that would provide a nice, extensive and well planned family friendly experience."
