Our driver & guide, Maj, was fantastic! Maj set the tone at once by making sure everyone was comfortable and engaged, and along the way shared his knowledge and experience of Scotland and the locations we visited. He introduced music with the traditional stories they were based on, and often they related to the history of the locations we were experiencing. I’ve been to the eastern Highlands a few times before but never the western side, and I loved it and learned a lot.

Great day tour in a small group with great tour guide

When booking, I was a little skeptical whether the tour was not too big for a day. Because what I didn't want to do was rush around like these Asian tourists who just flock out of the bus for a photo and then quickly drive on again. First of all: Fortunately it wasn't like this :-) Although I was at the wrong meeting point in the morning (there are several Cafè Nero in Edinburgh ;-)) John (our guide / driver) took care of me and waited until I was there. The five of us drove off, and in Glasgow five more people joined - all in all a nice size. John already told exciting stories about Edinburgh and his crooks on the way to Glasgow and shone with a lot of knowledge and entertainment factor. At each stopover we had plenty of time to explore on our own (of course always with the best tips from John "up close"). All in all, it was a wonderful tour that I can recommend to everyone! Thank you "Lord John" :)
