“On a Princess cruise. This day trip was great. Our guide was Murdock who works for this small family owned business. Modern bus with ac and usb ports. Murdock was very entertaining, extremely helpful, and accommodating. He provided historical information that helped bring meaning to the various stops. Not a typical drop iff and explore on your own, he actually went onto the battlefield and cairns to provide information and answer questions. At castle and Loch Ness he was around to support as needed. In Inverness, he provided personal recommendations but stayed with the bus. Great tour, great price. As our first time to Scotland, this was a great excursion!”

“Dunrobin Castle is a fairytale place from the outside, but you can see once inside, how it was a real home. It feels like when the doors are shut at night, people are still living there. The lawns are not the manicured Versailles type, but orderly and unique with hedge bridges you can walk under. Very peaceful. And, an added special event was a falcon/hawk show on the lawn by the lake. It was memorable. I wish my kids were as obedient as the falcon and hawk that flew above us and captured things. Great day!”
