Before the day: Email correspondence was fast, paid through PayPal Day of tour: Duncan arrived at our hotel a little early in an immaculately cleaned sedan. Our plan was to drive through the highlands to Loch Ness, but unfortunately it was raining very hard. Duncan was very flexible and offered a couple of other routes and castle touring that might...

We hired Duncan McNab to be our private driver while in Edinburgh & Glasgow. We took many day long trips out of town and and half day trips too. His knowledge of Scottish history is incredible and his suggestions for places to eat, shop or just visit on our own was expansive. He picked us up at the Glasgow airport... More

Duncan took my wife, two teenage children on a day tour of St. Andrews and Stirling Castle from our Edinbourgh hotel last week. We had a wonderful time. Duncan is very knowledgeable, entertaining and informative. We went at our own pace. He was very good at responding to our kids questions and pointing out things that would interest them. More

We were on a Holland America cruise with a port in Queensferry. Duncan met us at the port as we walked off the ship and we were on our way to see Edinburgh Castle. He had gotten a bigger vehicle for our party of six that made the ride very comfortable. He took us on a great city tour and... More

Spending the day with Duncan McNab was a highlight of our trip to Scotland. There were four of us on the tour and the car was large and comfortable. We started the day in Edinburgh, and then made our way to Wallace Monument, Stirland Castle, and Rosslyn Chapel. We made several other stops between. Duncan went out of his way... More

Our group (8 adults) asked Duncan for a 4 day tour of Scotland. He provided outstanding service. Our tour began at the Cruise Terminal in Greenock. Duncan arranged for a 12 passenger mini-bus, so we had plenty of room. Duncan gave us a delightful tour of Glasgow, a distillery, and Loch Lomand (including Lunch at a lovely restaurant with great...

We have been around and know all to painfully well the hazards of hiring a guide--sometimes they know almost nothing, sometimes they think they know everything, sometimes overly political etc. Well, have no fear. In Scotland you have Duncan McNab. He is the professional guide you've always wanted. Smart, kind, flexible, fun, and reasonably priced. Five stars. Best of the... More

We scheduled a half day tour with Duncan and picked the St. Andrews tour. He picked us up at our hotel in Edinburgh dressed in his Kilts. The car was comfortable and classy. He stopped at a few places we asked to see without any hesitation and was most informative of the areas we drove through. He let us wander... More
