Report
We have just returned from the 5-day Highland Experience's Scottish Choice tour, and it was an incredible experience. Hugh was our tour guide and he shared numerous amazing stories, proving to be a skilled driver, and his excellent sense of humor kept us laughing throughout, and he also played the bagpipe very skillfully. We allowed Highland Experience to select the hotels for us, and they chose exceptionally nice hotels and B&Bs. When we return to Edinburgh, we will definitely choose Highland Experience again, without a doubt.
