Hi Christopher,
Thank you or your review. We are a little disappointed to hear it could’ve been a 5 star so to make sure we achieve this the next time I will take your comments to our driver and their manager. We know drivers and guides have a time table to stick to but we also want our clients to be comfortable at all times. Thank you for taking the time to raise this issue.
Please do think of us for your next big Scottish adventure.
Haste ye back

Not enough time to see places out of the bus, too heavy accent
1.
The tour was mostly a bus drive (10 hours tour!), with short stops to photograph. I would prefer less driving and more time exploring places by foot.
2.
Our guide had a heavy scotish accent, and he was aware of it and talked about it. I think that a tourist guide should be able to speak clearly, so that non-English tourists could understand him. On our trip we met many Scotish people, some of them tourist guides, and we undersstood them all. On this trip, we didn't understand much...

Hi Nurit,
Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear the tour did not live up to your expectations. We would love to be able to make more stops on the tour to give you more time for photos etc, however we wouldn't have been able to take you to so many lovely places. This is something we need to look at and I will absolutely pass your comments onto the guides and drivers as feedback for their upcoming tours.
With regards to the guide's accent, here in Scotland we have what we refer to a “gid Scottish brogue” and this can at times be challenging if you're not used to our local dialects. Certainly some more than others. So I will also pass on your comments.
We do hope to see you again and please do think of Go Scotland Tours for your next adventure in Scotland.
Haste ye back!
Regards
Lorna

Thanks for an amazing day on the Orkneys.
A lot to cover in one day - but when you're pressed for time this was excellent and we managed to see everything we wanted. Great value. Thanks for an amazing day on the Orkneys.

The 8-day highland experience was amazing. From Edinburgh to Glencoe; Loch Ness; Ft William and Ft Augustus; Inverness ; Oban; the Jacobite train to Maillag; the ferry to the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Lewis and Harris ..ending in Culloden was outstanding! We had 2 tour guides; Rory and Tommy. I couldn't ask for better guides. They brought Scotland's history to life through stories, song, food and drink. They showed us the present Scotland through its industry and culture. The accommodations were great - took in so much that its day 4 and we're still going through photos! Can't wait to return. Thanks for the great adventure!!!

Hi Laury,
Wow, thank you for such an amazing review! Your tour is one of our all-time favourites (the Jacobite being my personal favourite) and to hear that our guide brought it to life for you makes it all worthwhile. I will, of course, pass your comments onto Rory and Tommy and tell them to keep up the good work!
Can't wait to help plan your next adventure.
Haste ye back!

Very let down
I booked a tour from Glasgow. Arrived early at pick up point only to be told by the tour guide that I did not have a reservation. Apparently we were booked on a tour from Edinburgh. Go Scotland Tours blamed the the tour operators and vice versa. The confirmation that I had been sent stating that I was booked on this trip from Glasgow was worthless and not correct. This was all very stressful and infuriating especially after planning and organising a trip in advance due to the very limited time I knew I had in Scotland. Go Scotland Tours said they would look in to the matter and call me back but didn’t. I would avoid this company in future.

Hi Dawn, thank you for your review. Very sorry to hear about your ordeal in Glasgow. This very rarely happens and we are willing to compensate for your troubles. You can see from our previous wonderful reviews that Go Scotland Tours has a good reputation.
After further investigation I see that you managed to get on the tour after you spoke to our agents. I hope that you enjoyed the tour of the highlands after all.

Hi Tess, Thank you for your review. Your feedback is important to us. Unfortunately because of less daylight hours in the winter we are not able to stop at the Glenfinnan Viaduct. The description on the website specifies we only stop here between April and October. Sorry for any inconveniences.
