“It was nice comfortable traveling in the touringcar. We have seen a lot. But I think you have to arrange the eating stop in another way. Westopped at small restaurants who couldn't managed a lot of buses full of tourist. The eating have to be organised better. I would have liked it to look around in the little villages and now we were just driving through.”

“Do not look at the pictures that are posted because none of them are true. We did not see any castles. We did not see any cows. We did not stop at the carnigorms national Forest. We were rushed to eat lunch. There was no time for actual exploring. Each stop was less than five minutes to pee, and we were told to get directly back to the bus after the boat. We saw very few cows from very far away and drive by so fast could not get a pic, but according to the pictures posted online there are people petting them. I want a refund. This was nothing…”

“Paul Santa was the best tour guide - The entire experience was magical. Despite unpredictable weather, he came with several backup plans and allowed our small group to adjust the trip to our preferences. As a solo traveler, I felt like part of the whole group. The people of the highlands are so welcoming, kind, and funny. 100% worth it, remember good rain shoes. So much fun - I couldn’t stop saying “Yay!””
