Scotland with Dejan!

Published on Mar, 2025

Amazing tour and, most of all, Dejan is an incredible guide! The stories and knowledge he shared were truly remarkable. Thank you!

Amazing Trip !!!

Published on Mar, 2025

Definitely a bucket list moment. Don't be put off by the length of the tour. We had Terrie and Alan and from the start the knowledge and stories that they added to the commentary kept you focused and the journey was broken down into bite size chunks to make it manageable. Loch Ness was a wow moment and if you experience sea sickness the crossing was a breeze no concerns at all and finished by meeting some highland cows in the Highlands! Don't think about it just book it. You won't be disappointed and will have memories for a lifetime. Thanks Terrie for the stories and Alan for the smooth journey

Perfect experience of the Highlands! We got to see the Loch Ness monster ;) and pet / fed some Scotland cows! We loved our guides and recommend to anyone who wants to go!

Wonderful Scottish Highlands Tour.

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide Dejan and bus driver John were great. Dejan is so knowledgeable about Scottish history, which of course was why I wanted to take a guided tour. He made the tour a lot of fun. John our bus driver kept us safe on some very narrow winding roads. He too was very pleasant. I'd been in Edinbough for two days, so it was great to get out of the city to see the country side.

It was a lovely day...
