Wonderful Highlands Tour
Amazing Highland tour would absolutely recommend! Our tour guide, Lorraine did a phenomenal job and knew the history and was a great guide. We opted to take this private tour instead of the tour that was offered on our ship. We are so glad we did. It was a very small group of 8 and had a very comfortable, clean van. All of the stops were very interesting and we had no issues with returning to our ship on time. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Thank you, Gail, for your review
