We only had 4 days in Scotland, all in Edinburgh. My cousin had visited earlier in the year and went on 2 tours with Heart of Scotland Tours. She highly recommended them. We booked two, 1-day trips with (Highlands tour and the Hadrian's Wall tour) and were very happy with our decision. Colin was our driver and tour guide for... more

My friends and I took a private day tour to three whiskey distilleries out of Edinburgh with Heart of Scotland Tours. They were excellent! Because we were arriving from the United States, the logistics of booking and scheduling a private coach and three distillery tours appeared daunting. Not with HOST. Carolyn and Nick handled all of the arrangements promptly and... more

I took two of Heart of Scotland's Tours. "Loch Ness and Legends" and "Monarchs, Mountains, and Malt" Not only was the scenery stunning, the guides were a LOT of fun! Colin and Andy were both knowledgeable and personable. I took these tours with two friends and we can't stop talking about the things we saw and the fun we had.... more

I recently went on Heart of Scotland tour 3: Rossyln and the Roman Border with my aging parents. It was a really well done trip. We had a good amount of time at the three main attractions: Rossyln Chapel, Melrose and Melrose Abbey, and areas along Hadrian’s Wall itself. The tour guide was fantastic. The (small) bus was lovely. The... more

We took two trips with Heart of Scotland Tours in May: The Wizards and Warriors and the Highlands. Both were great. The Highlands tour is very long day, so we don't recommend doing day tours on consecutive days. The lunch stop was just for our group, and was quiet and private. A very nice treat. We were treated to a... more

My new husband and I hired Heart of Scotland tours for a private tour before our wedding to show my American family and friends part of my new country. It could not have been better. Our guide, Bill, was EXCELLENT. Way beyond my expectations. From the moment I sent an email about price and possible tours to the moment the... more

I very much enjoyed the Loch Ness and Legends Tour through Heart of Scotland Tours. By the time we hit our first rest stop, I realized how much I appreciated being in a small coach. We didn't have to wait in huge lines for food with tons of other people eating at the same place! The smaller coaches also made... more

In September 2008, I took three day tours with Heart of Scotland Tours - Monarchs, Mountains and Malt; Loch Ness and Legends; and Castles, Coast and Whiskey. Each tour, and each guide, was as good as the other. I think the only way a tourist can get even a little feel for a country is through small tours like theirs.... more

My family and I went on a Heart of Scotland tour this last June. The overall tour was not bad and our tour guide was average. A few well presented jokes now and then! The standard of the the coach I would say was below parr, but we still enjoyed our day out. K. Jones more

My wife and I went on the Loch Ness and Legends tour with Heart of Scotland Tours in July 2007. Our tour guide's name was Andy and he did an outstanding job of pointing out natural attractions as we went through the Scottish Highlands and giving us a history. It was outstanding! Oddly enough, the trip to and from Loch... more
