Amazingly Different. - This tour was brilliant. I had something else booked that I had to cancel due to flight delays and found this as an alternative and am so glad I did. The sheep dog demonstration was absolutely amazing to watch. The hour long trek into the woods to forage was a real highlight for my children and something they continued to do throughout the rest of our trip. The herbalist was so knowledgeable and patient! We even got to try a natural tea she had made. The cruise on the steamship was fantastic. And feeding the coos was a delight. The Kelpies are just gorgeous. Our driver/ guide was Darryl and he was so personable and flexible. He really listened and took everything in stride. And the fact that the kids wanted to forage a little longer for billberries didn’t ruffle his feathers at all. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat!

We had a blast and it was... - We had a blast and it was an amazing experience. Joao and Rox were phenomenal tour guides and we learned a lot about local plants, wildlife, history and of course folklore! Also got some great recommendations for local live music in Glasgow, which was our next stop in our travels.
