The drive down Mull was our first drive on a single track road. Interesting to say the least and pleased to be in a MINI bus. The ability to stop at places of interest was great. Loved the whole trip. The driver's knowledge was very good.

We had 3 - Andy, Stefan, and Cameron. They were safe drives, excellent guides, told wonderful stories, and took excellent care of us. Cameron also had an extra challenge of a broken down ferry but worked with ops to rearrange the day within an hour! Some of the locations were a bit too far from town to walk and get dinners at night, Also would have been helpful if there were tips for certain areas like iona and Mull tend to be damp and chilly, Orkney is windy, etc. and we could have dressed better or brought along additional items.

Seeing structures thousands of years old is very interesting. I’ve always loved standing stones and seeing them on Orkney and Lewis was astounding. Iona was always a destination I wanted to go to and it’s spirituality was palpable.

The drivers (Peter, Trevor and Simon) were excellent. They provided a lot of interesting commentary and got us to the places of interest in a safe and timely manner. The accommodation for the Skye visit was not good. Hot water in the shower kept going cool, the restaurant food was tasteless and expensive.
