What people love about Glasgow to Edinburgh Tours
- The Best of Scotland
This was our first time traveling with Tours of Distinction. The trip was really well organized with little bus time. We saw everything and more of Scotland. Our guide was excellent and a lot of fun. We are already looking at a trip to Louisiana with them.
Very good organization of tour! But I didn't hsve much time to see the gardens near castles. So you need to know whst you want to see the interior of castles or gardens.

The tour was very enjoyable. Diane was very knowledgeable and at times humorous. Great group of Canadians on the tour, I was the only American. Highly recommend this couch tour.
