Scotland Vacation Testimonial
Deb McGuinness - Phillipsburg, NJ
"It was a memorable trip!"
- Chuck and I loved the history in Inverness, especially Culloden. The guide in Inverness was fantastic. The hotel was okay but the guide gave us the most comprehensive history lesson as well as enjoying the scenery.
- We loved the Isle of Skye. It was beautiful. We were afraid to drive too far north. The roads were challenging as you went up north. The scenery was like nowhere else that we had seen. This might have been a place to have a driver/tour guide. I loved Edinburgh in addition to Skye. The hotel there was great and so convenient.
- We spent too long on the Isle of Mull. The Duart castle was worth the visit to the island. I would have preferred going over to Iona for part of the day. We really never saw anything in Oban other than the hotel. I enjoyed the hike up to the Necropolis there. So interesting!
- Kensington provided an excellent guide for our first tour in Edinburgh. The Rabies small group tour was perfect for the Sterling Castle and Kelpies tour. Rabies had a tour of St. Andrews which would have been better than just a driver. They were also located on the Isle of Skye which might have been worthwhile. The private tour in Inverness was the best! The guide was so knowledgeable and wanted to gear it to our interests. We did need to drive in order to see the most during our trip. It was a bit treacherous at times. The Hotel Eilean Iarmain was charming. It did get crowded with hikers and we could not get dinner reservations one night. Good thing there was another restaurant not too far away. I like the location of the hotel. We were able to take the ferry over to Mallaig. This was then a much easier drive from there to Oban than it would have been going along the northern road of Skye. The convenience of the train from Edinburgh was perfect. We had no problem picking up or dropping off the car. I did get to see the area where my grandfather was born but missed out on talking to someone at the Heritage Center. The Trip Plans app was extremely helpful and I don’t think that we could have done as well planning without using your services. It was a memorable trip!
