Liked most: the castle, even though it was kind of touristy we loved the falconry exhibit. Also, Seeing new landscapes and learning from Liall about local history and goings on. Liked that it was a small tour and our guide was very personable. Improve: a bit more info about Wick’s herring industry. We heard a little, and saw some photo posters. It seemed like a very interesting time when it was booming!

The landscapes were delightful, and the guide very kind and well documented. He created a typical Scottish atmosphere through his own clothing and well-chosen music. It also takes wonderful pictures. As a bonus, he offered us a stop at the Liath Cairn and at a shop with traditional items in Wick. Also, we mutually opted for a picnic in a wonderful bay, and the guide very attentive to details, stopped at a grocery store for everyone to buy what they needed.

Both tour guides Alex and Andy were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable throughout the tour. The visit to Dunrobin Castle was also excellent, as was the visit to the surrounding area and the lighthouse. The visit to John O'Groats, was also very good, and the cafés food was excellent. However, I would have preferred a 2 hour stay over at John O'Groats as oppose to just an hour, to enhance the experience, have lunch and take the opportunity to visit all the small businesses, selling local and Scottish food and goods. An enjoyable tour though, seeing Scotland at its fabulous best.
