Highly recommend this tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Excellent tour of the Western Highlands with an outstanding guide (Thank you Jimmy!). Tour catered to needs and preferences on a whim, as we looked to seek out points of interest associated with our family ancestry. Even if you don’t have your own ideas, the itinerary is fantastic. Tour included plenty of scenery, castles, shopping and food opportunities. Very grateful for this awe inspiring experience that allowed us to chase Clan and family lineage across the Scottish Highlands.
