Lightning Strikes Twice - Scott Made Both Our Tours Unforgettable - Imagine our delight when we stepped onto our second tour... and saw Scott again! We were absolutely chuffed. After an incredible "Outlander" Castles tour a few days prior, we knew we were in for another amazing adventure. This time, our group was all English-speaking and Scott kept everyone engaged with his humor, warmth & deep knowledge of Scotland.
We learned all about the Munros of Scotland (Scott’s passion for hiking them was contagious) and got a brilliant insider view of where the Lowlands give way to the Highlands. Seeing the Three Sisters felt like stepping into a dream.
The Loch Ness cruise was a highlight - calm waters, a couple of cheeky pints & monster-hunting with fellow tourists. It was a perfect memory in the making.
An unexpected detour after Fort Augustus had us heading toward Inverness, and honestly? No complaints! The scenery was jaw-dropping and Scott kept the vibes high.
The absolute cherry on top: Scott made a surprise stop at a local farm & market where we could feed and pet Highland Coos! I'm a grown man and still turned into a kid with a fistful of feed. Pure joy.
Even better, we got to tell Scott about everything we had done from his earlier recommendations. He even helped me find a tattoo shop for a walk-in the next day; talk about above and beyond!
Thanks again, Scott. You're the kind of guide - and person - we'll never forget.

Exactly what I was hoping for - This was exactly the tour I hoped it would be. Scott was fantastic, from the greeting to the driving to the history to the music to the hospitality and advice about what to do at each stop. If you want to see the highlands and countryside and don’t want to drive yourself, this hits all the highlights and is totally stress free. I highly recommend the tour and Scott!
