Tour was nicely paced and we were able to enjoy the sights. Our tour guide, Gillian, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She also has a cool collection of music to segue with the sights we visited. That made me appreciate Scottish music 😊

Guide never showed up for the tour

Guide never showed up for the tour. I was there 30 minutes early and stayed until 15 minutes after it started. There were very few people around the designated meeting spot so it wasn't an issue of not seeing or finding the guide. They simply didn't show up to give me the tour. I looked up the tour size and there were no other parties signed up for my tour time, so I can only conclude that they canceled the tour without informing me or refunding me.

Dear Melodie, thank you for your feedback. Very sorry to hear that you were not able make the tour.

I checked our system and the tour definitely went ahead. It was fully booked and the starting location wasn’t moved either. There were 2 duty managers on site as well at the Mercat Cross on a Saturday night at 8pm so there were quite a few people around.

The location and time was on your confirmation email and voucher. Could you please tell us what location you went to for the start point?

Family Travel

Traveling as a family with young children made it even more important to have a good tour company. We recommend GoScotland without reservations!

Our tour exceeded my expectations

Our tour exceeded my expectations. The B&B accommodations in Portree on the Isle of Skye were first rate. The B&B owners were chefs so breakfast was memorable. Sergio, our guide and coach driver, was so entertaining and knowledgeable. I will certainly book again with Go Scotland Tours. Worth every dime!

Great Company - can recommend without hesitation!

I will say up front I was not excited about a bus tour but just saw it as a way to see Scotland in a short amount of time.

Well I had THE BEST time on the Go Scotland Highland Experience Tour. Our guide and driver was the fabulous Neil who safely navigated us around and kept us entertained with stories and history of the places we were visiting. It made the trip much more meaningful because not only did we see beautiful and rugged landscapes, we heard the stories about those places and gained understanding of Scotland and its heritage.

We also met some really fabulous people on our tour that we shared our experiences with.

I can recommend Go Scotland Tours without hesitation and especially Neil - Owen was pretty nice too :)

Guide Good but Charter Service Added No Value

Guide was great but service by charter company was indifferent, pushy for payment and had given guide exactly zero information on what we had contracted for when we were picked up.

Hi Douglas, thank you for your review. It is much appreciated. This was not a chartered tour, Go Scotland Tours had fully arranged the guide and itinerary. This was the first time that Adriana was guiding for us. She was only double checking the information with you.

We apologize if it seems like there was any miscommunications. But we are glad that you enjoyed your day out in Scotland and do hope that you return one day.

Absolutely wonderful day out

Absolutely wonderful day out. Scenery out of this world made better by our lady coach driver, so knowledgeable and timely. My party of 4 all enjoyed it and the Loch Ness trip was fantastic.
Coach could do with loo on board, but enough loo breaks on trip. Definitely use your company next time we visit.

Excellent experience

Excellent experience. Wish the time at Stirling Castle had been longer. Would you consider extending the left of the tour by 30-60 minutes

Great trip

Great trip. Jane had all of the details covered. During our trip Jane changed a lake cruise time so we could spend more time at another venue. I miss understood the invoice and over paid, no problem getting my money returned promptly. The driver we had for our trip, Lindsey, was excellent
