Historical, Beautiful Scotland! Our tour driver was *Personal information removed by Feefo* and provided us excellent service, courtesy and knowledge. Our tour director, *Personal information removed by Feefo*, gave us directions for each day's itinerary and was very knowledgeable of the history for each area. Our hotel accommodations were satisfactory, and the breakfasts/meals were adequate. Some of the additional cost excursions should have been a part of the regular itinerary, especially the Isle of Skye scenic trip. The itinerary covered all the sights that we were interested in seeing

Trafalgar Scotland Cities and Islands August 2024! *Personal information removed by Feefo* was brilliant. She was completely calm and unflappable. Nothing was too much trouble for her to do. She made herself available 24/7 and was informed and interesting in her commentary and in her responses to questions striking the perfect balance of history and general interest. Her knowledge of the places we saw and of Scotland and its relationship with England, Ireland and the rest of the world was exceptional. Our driver *Personal information removed by Feefo* was amazing. So competent and capable and also, like *Personal information removed by Feefo* he did the extras with a smile which made the trip so great. Excellent coverage of cities and islands. We saw almost all we wanted to see.

From 2nd Time Trafalgar Travelers! Best trip ever! Saw so much and learned tons! Would love to do this again, only spending more time in each place. This was a fantastic trip that included a lot of fascinating and integral highlights to Scotland. A lot of ground was covered in a short period of time. Our tour guide (*Personal information removed by Feefo* and bus/coach driver *Personal information removed by Feefo*) were beyond amazing (incredibly professional, efficient, and entertaining)!! One suggestion is to have a mix and mingle ice-breaker/guest introductions etc. with all of the tour members/guests at the very onset of the trip, in addition to the group gathering at the end of the trip. Also, ensuring that each stop entails a minimum of at least 2 nights duration at the same hotel. One night stops are challenging.

Our tour guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* was amazing and our driver *Personal information removed by Feefo*. Very busy itinerary but well organized. Just had to jump on the coach at the right time. Hotel in Skye let the tour down. Disgusting place. Lost a bit of trust in Trafalgar for ensuring good standard accomodation. Lots of other nice places to see instead.

Absolutely the best! Service was top notch!!! Very caring and attentive to our comfort and safety. Again, our tour director paired with our bus driver added immeasurably to our Scotland experience. Both had knowledge and a deep passion and love for their country. This came through every day of the tour. Fabulous itinerary. Our tour director and bus driver were excellent with incredible knowledge of Scotland. We went places we never would have seen without this tour. Trafalgar is the best. Great accommodations, great food and incredible sights. Tour took us on different parts of Scotland and the diversity of this wonderful country.

Wonderful trip! Absolutely loved this trip and would highly recommend to others. *Personal information removed by Feefo* and *Personal information removed by Feefo*, our guide and driver, worked hard to bring the history and people of Scotland alive through their in-depth knowledge, stories and wonderful sense of humor. Their love of Scotland and its amazing landscapes was evident and they never seemed to tire of our questions. Scotland is a beautiful country and this experience definitely made us want to return.
