Country Roads of Scotland Reviews

Global Journeys made booking my first tour with Insight seamless. Rachael, our Travel Advisor with Global, was always helpful, available to answer questions and responded promptly.

The combination of the great customer service and beautiful country, made my vacation a wonderful one.

This tour was an excellent start for someone who had never visited Scotland before. Guide Caroline was most knowledgeable and helpful always. The group was rather one sided - 33 North Americans and 1 Australian (me!) The accommodation was excellent. The day we spent on the Orkney Isles was the highlight of the trip for me,

This tour was very well organised. Our tour director, Melissa, together with our driver, Arthur, kept everyone involved and entertained with stories of Scotland. Melissa’s knowledge was extensive and interesting.

For first time visitors to Scotland, as we were, this Insight tour was a great introduction to this wonderful country. It was an emotional trip too, as we visited places that featured in our forebears lives. Tour Director, Mike, was knowledgeable, good fun and attentive. We felt very safe in the hands of George, our driver. With 38 passengers, we got ...read more to enjoy the company of several travellers, and mostly the rest were very pleasant people. Thanks Insight.

The tour guide was excellent which always makes a trip pleasant. I know we were in places in Scotland which have limited hotel choice but a couple had very small rooms and one was not too well maintained. Great trip overall though.

We travelled a big distance and saw many excellent sites. Perhaps the pace of the tour could be lessened by having two nights in the one place (eg Edinburgh, Glasgow ) as there were many early morning starts. I have travelled with them before and find the coaches far superior to other companies.

Overall the Tour was very good. We had a mixed group for five different countries. Whilst the weather wasn't perfect, we managed to see all of what was promised. Our Tour Director was exceptional, great sense of humour, excellent knowledge of history and the development of Scotland. Would we do another Insight Tour? Of course we would.
