Last Minute Holidays

“Excellent trip with a fantastic tour guide, very interesting for anyone into, country, blues and jazz music. Expect a packed and varied schedule and a lot of travelling. I understand that the schedule has changed somewhat for next year, so a more detailed review may not be that helpful l for anyone planning a future trip.

“The adventure was fantastic. Our tour manager, Ian Rae, shared his knowledge and kept us informed. He is personable and a delight to listen to. Connections were well co-ordinated as were the hotels. Anyone's needs were met. The views are outstanding and the variety of locations gave something for everyone to enjoy. I enjoyed the meals and grew accustomed to a Scottish breakfast . Trying new foods is one of my must do's. Loved Cranachan. I made new lasting friendships within my group over local beer and whiskey, This is certainly the way to travel, getting enlighten on what I am seeing and not driving. The countryside is beautiful and the cities are old world impressive. Castles and cathedrals, heather and grose, pubs and hotels, lochs and mountauns ....sooo much to experience.

“Enjoyed the holiday. Well organised and great fun. Hotel did a really good job and made each evening feel like a special occasion

“A very busy, but worthwhile trip.

“Excellent choice of venues and railways. Guides at castles very good and tour director very helpful. Hectic schedule and would have appreciated time to sit with lunch.

“An excellent tour of the best known places in Tuscany and a great introduction to the food and drink of the area.

“Extremely well organised, thanks to the tour manager and a fantastic hotel.

“The Tour was very well organised from start to finish, with an EXCELLENT Tour Manager Steve. The Hotel in Edinburgh was situated near the Royal Mile, ideal location. Food and rooms very good, no complaints. The Hotel near Glencoe was surrounded by amazing scenery. Again food and rooms ,no issues. A view from our room. The steam train journey from Fort William to Mallaig via the Glenfinnan Viaduct, on The Jacobite, the highlight of our holiday. The Glenfinnan Viaduct The ferry crossing to Mull, and Tobermory an added bonus.

“I enjoyed every day of our visit tremendously although our visits to Lindisfarne and Bamburgh were affected by awful weather. Otherwise the weather was kind. Both hotels were good. Rail journeys fun.Our guide, Lynda was excellent. She got me mobile scooters so l could enjoy the gardens better. Perhaps my best memory is riding up the winding path through the forest of Japanese cherry blossom in full bloom in Alnwick Castle gardens. David
