Scotland Castles and Hiking Tour Testimonials

We went on a Highlands day tour with Rob Carr earlier this year and had an incredible experience! Rob customized the day to our interests for Mom and grown son and daughter. We visited multiple castles along with a gorgeous hike with a view all to ourselves! We also went to the small coastal town Oban for lunch/exploring. Rob is very knowledgeable and passionate about Scottish culture/history and treated us like family. We even sang American and Scottish songs during our road trip. His storytelling, friendly demeanor and attention to detail made this trip stand out and we would 100% recommend him as a guide!

Mary Kaye

Went to such beautiful places- very scenic and wonderful views. He also took us to some incredible local spots which we would not have been able to find otherwise. Robb had such detailed knowledge about all the places we went, from the tree trunks to the history of the villages we passed through. He made a big effort to personalise our tour according to what we wanted to do as well. He also had some great local food reccs! Stellar tour with the friendliest and most energetic tour guide! Must reccomend!

This tour was one of our highlights! Rob did such an amazing job. He picked us up in the morning, the van was clean and ready to go for a long day trip. He drove safely and was entertaining along the way with history and culture and jokes. He took us to amazing places including the highlands - oh what views! He's super personable and so easy to get along with. He's very considerate and kind and helpful. We felt safe and cared for the whole time we were on the tour. We would HIGHLY recommend doing a tour with Rob Carr. The other tours on coach buses, etc. that we were a part of were of no comparison.
