Great tour! - Jim was a great guide. We enjoyed seeing some of the highlands. The highlight for us were the standing stones. However, we also enjoyed Inveraray Castle and Gardens.

Perfect combination of spectacular scenery, standing stones and castles - I was so excited to find this tour which included standing stones, burial mounds, incredible scenery, along with two castles. It didn’t disappoint; our guide, Lauren, was absolutely exceptional. Full of knowledge, funny stories and a real sense of adventure. Cannot recommend highly enough! It was a fabulous day, so glad we did the tour!

Tramping highland glens and bracken bens - The top guide James was fabulous. He had a cold on the day but was bright, cheery and super congenial. We loved the insights he (and two other guides who were in training) offered. We were glad we picked this trip as we were able to see four lochs (maybe 5), castles, and extremely old standing stones plus cairns. So nice not having to drive - instead both my wife and I were able to enjoy the scenery and the several short walks we took. The Scottish Highlands are beautiful! I loved James's explanation of the Loch Lomond song near the end of our tour - sad but endearing.

A wonderful outing with Cal - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It included a nice sampling of historic sites and opportunities to enjoy the beautiful nature of Scotland. Cal was engaging, informative and fun. His enthusiasm for his homeland radiated through his narrative and in the great 'playlist' he played. We had 8 people in our group which made it very easy to move around and allowed us to stop at more sites than if we were part of a large group. Scotland is a fantastic country and a tour w/Cal of Scotland's Wild is a great way to experience it.

Standing Stones, Castles and Highlands Tour - We took the standing stones tour. Amazing scenery and historical sites, but what made the tour so special was our guide Laura! She was great all throughout the tour. Would definitely recommend booking and asking for her!
