Classic folklore and stunning landscapes make Scotland a compelling destination for historians, those looking to explore their Scottish roots, and pop culture fiends who follow famous TV shows that film here. This seven-day tour takes you through all the best cultural highlights with visits to important Jacobite sites in Inverness like Culloden Moor and picturesque spots (like the Glenfinnan Viaduct) along with moments to soak in the country's natural beauty in Cairngorms National Park. In between, you'll have the opportunity to try traditional Scottish fare (yes, we're talking about haggis!) and learn about how whisky is made with a tour and tasting. It's the best way to satiate your inner history and whisky aficionado, in equal measure.

No prior communication on our itinerary and had to ring or email to get any information out of G Adventures once our trip was confirmed.

I liked this type of tour but whether someone else would take it would depend on their level of fitness and willingness to explore on their own.

First hotel was too far from city centre and had no place for a welcome meeting with our CEO so we did it outside in the street. The meeting was very short and then everyone dispersed. No one really got to know one another until many days later. It did not set the welcoming tone we were hoping for
09/16/2023
The first night accommodations were not appropriate for the style of tour we signed up for. We basically lost 1 day from our tour because the Edinburgh orientation session didn't occur because of hotel location.
09/16/2023
It was an unbelievable experience. We saw so many different places and enjoyed many walks, just wanted more time at a few spots as well as longer hikes.
09/16/2023
Excellent but would have liked a couple of evening group dinner opportunities arranged by the CEO, especially at the beginning of the tour for meet and greet of other participants.
09/16/2023
I enjoyed it.
09/16/2023
My experiences have shown good organization, care for participants and small numbers in group is ideal.
09/09/2023
Trip didn't meet my expectations, not enough value for the price I paid
09/09/2023
I think this type of trip is only good for certain types of individuals there it is dependent on who is asking.

The tour was tooo rushed
09/02/2023
There was a problem during my trip, which I addressed upon my return, and it was dealt with promptly. Also, the trip was a lot of fun

Everything went well. Activities were well planned and appropriate for the entire group.

The trip was great, but it's a lot more bud time than I expected.

I've been on 5 tours with G Adventures and I had a great time on all of them. Every trip I learned about the history of the country. All the CEO were different, but very knowledgeable and very patient ( very cool people ). Meeting new people from different countries, finding out how difficult and how the same we are. I can't wait to go on my next trip ( March and September, possibly December as well ).

I love G Adventures: as a single female traveler, I do G trips because I like to meet people, I feel safe, I don't have to organize my adventures, I don't have to eat alone, and I appreciate all the fun things I get to do on the trips.

depends on the leader the guidance in the trip or suggestions made...Some prefer one over the other
09/23/2023
Small group tour. Free time to explore, not overscheduled. Good mix of people who tend to be independent, experienced travellers. Good hotels.
09/23/2023
