    The tour started off a bit disorganized but a change of guide and the experience improved with Neus as our tour guide. The itinerary was varied and the weather played its part. We had a small group who gelled well and we had fun. The accomodation was comfortable and the last night's stay at The Social Hub was excellent. We had a brilliant bus driver, Brendan who was very informative as well. Thank you to Neus our lovely tour guide and Brendan who drove us safely around Scotland.
