“There is no denying that the Highlands provides spectacular scenery. Our tour was favoured by glorious sunshine for most of the time, with only a few grey days. Overall, I felt the days were too long, with too much time spent on the coach. That said, our driver Davy was superb and made the trip. The hotels were of a very high standard, with the exception of the Isles of Glencoe, where the staff were disinterested and, at times, downright rude. I was also given a room in the sub basement at the Mercure Haymarket, which had little natural light and was claustrophobic. I guess that’s the downside of being a single traveller. That said, I was soon given a room on the first floor. Big shout out to the restaurant manager who made me a meal despite the restaurant being closed. A big concern from my group was lack of timely information from the tour manager as we expected handouts of our itinerary for the day and lack of a contact number until the 5th day. Overall I enjoyed the trip and made some new friends along the way.
“Enjoyable trip
Not impressed with not getting final holiday details until a week before going
Great tour manager David Indge who was very kind and helpful
Loved the Highland cattle visit
“The first time I have done Christmas away in the Uk. It was good and the scenery in Scotland is lovely. The hotel was very busy, as expected, and mealtimes were drawn out affairs, lasting 2hours.
