Castles and cliffs oh my! - I can’t say enough about how great the tour was with Grampian. The easy booking, and communication to plan for the day of, made everything so easy. The tour itself was amazing. Jacqueline, my tour guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and just a great human being. She seemed to have a vested interest in making sure I got to see all the amazing sites. We traveled in a minivan type vehicle, very clean and very comfortable. We visited several awesome locations, I could not have asked for more. Next time I visit, I’ll be checking for what else Grampian has to offer.

Very fulfilling trip! - This trip along the coast was lovely. Lots of stops, the best castle of the many I’ve enjoyed in my lifetime (such dramatic views) and lots and lots of interesting information given to us by our fantastic guide, Alex Duncan. Highly recommend this tour and hope you have Alex who is friendly, very knowledgeable and an overall excellent guide.

Dunnottar Castle Tour - Alec was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable about the sites that we saw, very interactive as we traveled throughout the countryside, and was excited as we were as we saw the Salmon migrating upstream. He helped to redirect our activities as the weather was not ideal and knew where our time would be best spent due to the rainy conditions. The vehicle was roomy and clean as we had 6 people in our party. Alec even brought along some food items that were Scotland originals.

Lots of experiences for a nice price - It was a fantastic trip, full of exciting and interesting experiences. The guide had plenty of information and tips. And some little surprises along the way. Got experienced more in 8 hours than we had done in 6 days on our own. Really recommend. Worth every one crown

Well worth the money spent! - Jamie, our tour guide, was very friendly and helpful. He explained with clarity and humor the history of the places. The ride was smooth. Dunnotar castle was the highlight of the trip and it was well worth it. The place is beautiful and you will be amazed at how it was built at that time. The visit to Benholm mill was fascinating. The technology of 1700s was impressive and you will be in awed. Overall, I enjoy the trip very much. Thank you Jamie!

Relaxed, Family-Friendly Dunnottar Tour - We did the Dunnottar Castle & Coastal Heritage tour as a family and had a brilliant time. Jamie’s warmth, easy humour, and vivid stories brought the coast and castle to life, and the pace was perfectly relaxed - no rushing, plenty of time to explore and take photos. The small group (just 7 of us) made it even better. Both kids (11 and 15) were genuinely engaged. The little picnic breaks were an unexpected and thoughtful treat. Highly recommended!
