We had a fabulous 2 day tour of the highlands including everything we asked for, plus a few gems we didn't know to ask for, including "Castle Anthrax" from Monty Pyton fame, and so much more. Craig was very professional and extremely well informed but never boring or dry. His knowledge of all things Scottish including history, places, movies, characters... More

We just traveled to Scotland on a TA cruise on the Grand Princess and for any folks traveling to Scotland and looking for an EXCELLENT tour guide I would highly recommend a fine fellow named Craig McCall Flynn of Mini Tours Scotland. Eight of us rode out in his beautiful new minivan and had a marvelous tour along Loch Lomond,... More

What an excellent way to see Scotland! My wife's Great Grandfather emigrated from Edinburgh to the US, so we wanted to see and understand the land that he left. Craig arranged the itinerary and our accommodations and even recommended restaurants and pubs along the way--we were never disappointed. Our three day loop tour from Edinburgh to Fort William to Inverness... More

We spent two days with Craig visiting Fife/St Andrews one day and the Highlands another day. He was extraordinarily knowledgable and professional. We were a family of five with children 13, 11 and 6, and all were entertained. He took us places and mentioned photo-ops/etc., that we otherwise would have missed. We hope to return at some point to spend... More

After reading the reviews here, we felt very fortunate that Craig was available on short notice during one of the only three days we stayed in Scotland (recommend booking him early!). His tour was definitely the highlight of our visit. We are from warmer climes and Scotland was unseasonably cold during our stay. The great thing about Craig is that... More

It's not easy to travel with a group with many diverse interests but Craig was an absolute pro and arranged a comprehensive tour that met everyone's wishes! Craig is extremely knowledgeable and was an absolute pleasure. More

Craig helped us fulfill my husband's dream of seeing St. Andrew's golf course. Although our focus was the golf course for my husband and sons, Craig quickly figured out that genealogy, and history were my focus. He skillfully balanced our tour to meet the needs of everyone in our group. The car was very comfortable and Craig was very knowledgable... More

My family and I went to visit Scotland for the first time this year. There were four of us who really did not know what to expect, and could not have predicted how wonderful an experience we would have. We met Craig and instantly knew that this was going to be an incredible trip and that, whether he liked it... More

I traveled with Craig as my guide in 2009 on my very first trip to Scotland and most recently, on my second trip this past autumn (October, 2011). It is with total delight that I post this review about Craig and his top notch services! For this second adventure, I had asked Craig to plan the entire agenda in advance... More
