Great Communication and Accommodating

Our guides were great. They were knowledgeable, communicative leading up to the tour dares and worked with us due to a few travel delays. I'd strongly encourage trusting them with any of your tour needs.

We were on a private tour

We were on a private tour. Our guide, Laura Moon, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable, adaptable to our interests, and able pivot when the weather got rough. She was also an excellent storyteller and a lot of fun.

A Personal Edinburgh Experience We Won’t Forget

My partner and I had only a short time in Edinburgh, so we reached out to Go Scotland Tours to arrange a one-day private tour tailored to our interests. Mike from Go Scotland Tours was extremely helpful, making it easy to customise the itinerary to suit our tastes and schedule.

On the day, our guide Heather met us at our hotel right on time. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and a genuinely lovely person to spend the day with. We set off in a comfortable car, taking in the sights of Arthur’s Seat and Craigmillar Castle as we made our way to Glenkinchie.

Highlights of the day included the Glenkinchie Cask Discovery Experience, a nice lunch at Carberry Tower Mansion House, and a fascinating Port of Leith Tour & Tasting. Heather’s insights and local knowledge added to the experience, and she made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

Thanks to the team at Go Scotland Tours, especially to Heather, our guide for the day, we had a fantastic experience that was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make the most of their time in Edinburgh.

Go Scotland is a great agency

Go Scotland is a great agency! We had a 4 day tour in Highlands with this agency. Everything was amazing! The guide told us lots of stories, showed us lots of places, and most important, he was very attentive to our requests. We contacted them 5 days in advance and they managed to organize everything for us!

Scotch tasting and highland scenery

Our tour in the Scottish highlands with many distilleries and scotch tastings and amazing scenery was fantastic. Our tour guide, Mike, helped with the planning taking into account our wish list. He included all we wanted and more. He was very knowledgeable and told us all about the history of the places we visited. Mike took care of all the trip details. We were able to just relax and enjoy our 5 days in the highlands.

We had the pleasure of having Fiona as our tour guide. She was absolutely brilliant! So knowledgeable, proud to be Scottish, and what a wonderful sense of humor. She is so accommodating, polite, and just generally a lovely person. When you go on these tours the tour guide really makes the tour for you, and she did a wonderful job we’re from Canada and there were three of us and we had a phenomenal day. Well, worth the money and I would highly recommend this to people that are trying to find out about the history of Scotland. Thank you so much Fiona we had such a wonderful day.

Best Tour Ever

Mike was excellent. From the planning, months in advance, to the endless knowledge about the region, he was top notch. The itinerary, accommodations, and restaurants he selected for us were all excellent. His van was immaculate and very comfortable to ride in. He was always on time and we never felt rushed. We just could not have picked a better company and guide. Thanks Mike

Awesome tour for Invergordon

This was a great day tour for this area. They were on time and waiting for us from the pier. Our guide Doug was very informaiton, easy to understand, and very entertaining! We loved the castles, LochNess cruise and the scenery. It was a very nice day tour!

Do not book with them - they are 3rd party - non-responsive

Do not book with them. They are a third party - the actual tours are through Rabbies. I regretted booking with them because first of all as soon as I booked, I did not receive any confirmation via email. I had to go to their website, create an account and found my booking there! I emailed them with a question and they did not reply. I made a long distance phone call and they didn't answer. I tried several times and finally I got through. The person over the phone gave me the answer but in very curt ways. I then called Rabbies and got a proper answer. In fact, I even got my accommodation final details after I emailed Rabbies. Also they falsely advertised 12 day island explorer tour - the first four days were a whisky tour and we didn't know this - we were told there would be whisky tastings - but this was a full on 4 day whisky tour! We're not that much into whisky so we felt cheated! Do not go with this company! You will regret it.

Reply from Go Scotland Tours

Hi David S,

Thank you for bring this to our attention. A confirmation email is automatically sent as soon as you complete a booking. But emails with strict security in place put the emails into spam. This may have been the case. Also we notice that the email you booked with is different than the email you have made this post on. Sorry to hear you were having difficulties hearing from us but we responded to each email you sent, and even spoke to you on the phone.

To make a booking you need to create an account and login to the website. This would have been part of the process anyway.

Only some of our tours are with third parties, in fact most of the tours on our website are run by ourselves. We do this so we can offer a wide variety of tours so visitors can shop in one place. You happened to book a tour operated by our partners at Rabbies. We offer the tours inclusive of accommodation, which is different from most other operators you will find. We did email you the accommodation details, but it sounds like you have been having email issues.

Please take another look at the tour description we have offered. It clearly states the first 4 days on Islay with all the distillery stops. We can not be falsely advertising if it is a clear part of the tour description. Sorry that you missed this.

Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. It is not the type of company we are striving to be and will endeavour to improve customer relations. Thanks for your feedback, but if you had come to us directly with this complaint we could have possibly given compensation.

Sincerely,
Go Scotland Tours

Great whiskey, rich history, and breathtaking scenery!

Great whiskey, rich history, and breathtaking scenery! We just returned from a phenomenal trip with Go Scotland Tours (May 2024), and it was one of the best large group trips I've ever been on. The logistics were handled beautifully, from planning to execution. Mike took care of everything—ferry rides, transportation, and distillery bookings/tours. We never had to worry about a thing, allowing us to relax and have a great family vacation together.

I highly recommend this tour and company!
