Learned so much about Scotland

Learned so much about Scotland and got to see amazing countryside we’ve heard of and some incredible stuff we did not. Steve Hay was fantastic. He educated us in a way that was informative and fun! He made us want to come back for more each day and provided many laughs. Steve went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, enjoying and doing what we wanted to do.

Memories for a lifetime

“Professionalism and kindness — a magical trip we’ll keep forever.”

When doing my research, I interviewed three touring companies. I picked Personal Tours of Scotland after a Zoom call with Brian. His recommendation of the Isle of Mull and Iona set me on a course I could never have imagined. Ross picked us up and his kindness set the tone. Everything was taken care of; hidden stops, even a Loch Ness boat ride we’d never have found.

We arranged a six-day Highlands tour for three couples. Planning began with a Zoom call with owner Brian. Thomas, our guide, was outstanding. New coach, scenic stops, memorable off-itinerary gems. Thomas even prepared a meticulous post-tour summary with links — above and beyond!

From the first Zoom to schedule planning and accommodations, Brian’s staff were a pleasure. Ross adjusted the itinerary so we saw Scotland at a relaxed pace while checking off must-dos and discovering surprises.
