It was a wonderful trip. We wound up in the tail end of Helene, so couldn't visit Iona but had a very nice experience shopping/sightseeing in ToberMorey.

This was our first overseas trip and we could not have asked for a better experience! The tour guide, Rob Carr, was excellent - so knowledgeable, humorous and so caring about all of our group. He added so much with his stories and when we had bad weather, he was adept at changing things on the fly and taking us to see the sights off the beaten path. The tour featured a great mix of Scottish history, beautiful scenery and good fellowship between the other folks on the trip.Show more

The tour guide, Ed, and the driver, Abby, were amazing hosts to all of us. They did a great job helping us through the hotel changes as well as walking us through the history of each location we visited. The choice of hotel in Tobermory could have been a bit better, while they had beautiful views we could not take a shower in the room as the shower head was not connected to the water. Also, the beds were overused and we could feel the springs in our backs. All other locations were perfect. Thank you.Show more
