I had a wonderful time on this tour!! it was a great way to see the country and made me fall in love with Scotland. The guide was very knowledgeable about history and explained everything well. It was also very nice to be part of a small group and made seeing everything extraordinary! Would book with this company again!

James has been an incredibile guide for 4 beautiful days. Really enthusiastic and passionate about showing us everything. He showed us incredible landscapes that really left us breathless. James was a real Scottish man, with so much good humour and full of stories to tell along the way. Also very professional. Definitely I would do it again!

We went on the tour to the Highlands & Loch Ness it is a very long day of driving, however coming from Edinburgh it’s expected. Euan our tour guide was very professional and seemed proud of his heritage. We stopped at many photo stops to the Highlands and had enough restroom breaks even though be careful not to drink too much coffee or Tea or Water because some legs of the trip can be almost 2 hours without a restroom. The views out the windows of the Mercedes Passenger Van was amazing and photo stops have some best views. Unfortunately cameras cannot do the actual view justice. The trip overall was a little rushed but we completely understand the distance needed to get to Loch Ness from Edinburgh. Euan our guide is very very good and a professional driver on these roads. We appreciate the awesome day he provided.

Had a great day out with Alan driving, and giving a great historical commentary for much of the way. As an Australian, I found the commentary very useful. The highlight for me was Housesteads and Hadrian’s Wall.

We took a private tour booked on The Wee Red Bus. It was a 3 day Isle of Skye and Highlands tour. We loved our driver and tour guide Angela. She taught and showed us so much about Scotland history and sites. We loved the Isle of Skye with friendly tourists and locals alike. If there was a question Angela couldn't answer, she found the answer for us. She hiked out with us to Neist Point Lighthouse and the Fairy Glens which made it fun! By the way, all 4 of us on this tour are mid to late 60s! We would definitely do The Wee Red Bus tour again and would request Angela once more!

If you are going to do any tours in Scotland you have to use Heart of Scotland. I visited in 2016 and used them for a 2 and 3 day tours. When I came back this October 2023 with my cousin I knew that Heart of Scotland was the only way to go. My cousin and I did the 5-day tour and our trip was fantastic because of our tour guide Euan. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about history and geography but he made everything come to life for us. It rained daily (to be expected) but Euan was always thinking about how he could arrange the itinerary to maximize our time and to keep us dry. He was also very personable and easy to chat with. Euan’s experience as a tour guide is what made the trip. In terms of the actual itinerary the Highlands and Isle of Skye were out of this world. The mountains are so majestic and breathtaking and the lochs and harbors stunning. I could have stayed there forever! B&B accommodations selected by Heart of Scotland were also very nice. Well worth it! If you come to Scotland, definitely check out Heart of Scotland tours and cross your fingers that you get Euan as your tour guide.

Will review two trips below. Well worth it - leave the driving to the professionals! Rossyln Chapel / Hadrians Wall - great trip to see the most unique and different church that I have ever seen. Hadrians wall is well worth it but please note that it is a steep hike up for the hill - this might be difficult to impossible to see the fort and wall up close if you have mobility issues. We do not but it was still a bit of a hike. Also this trip is almost all back roads so very bumpy and people may even want to bring dramamine for this trip. Highlands - I am not a huge nature guy but seriously recommend this if you are in Scotland- the highlands are always pictured in the movies but even more magnificent in person. Just wow! Other things - bring bottled water for the bus. And you can store small bags or coats above you. Recommend getting there 10-15 minutes earlier than suggested departure meeting time (ex. Departs at 8am but meet at 7:45am - you may wish to get there by 7:30 or 7:35am for first choice of seats). You can bring food on the bus but nothing stinky or offensive to others. Good guides and safe drivers!

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Rosslyn Chapel, the Borders, and Hadrian's Wall on the wee red bus. Our guide, Angela, was extremely welcoming, engaging, and knowledgeable. She was a great storyteller who always went above and beyond to ensure everyone on the tour had a great experience. The Rosslyn Chapel was ornately beautiful, the views of the borders were expansive and stunning, and the hike to Hadrian’s Wall, while somewhat exhausting, was worth every step. I highly recommend this tour, the Heart of Scotland tour company, and our wonderful guide Angela.

Great day tour from Edinburgh. Our tour guide Angela was very knowledgeable and engaging. From historical background and information to a great musical playlist during the drive, our guide made the tour very entertaining and educational. Highly recommend this tour and our guide Angela.

The trip was wonderful. Keith, our guide, was excellent. In addition to being very knowledgeable on history he was also very familiar with the roads and the countryside. He adapted to changing conditions and delivered an excellent tour. We would not hesitate to book another tour with this company.

We booked a one day tour out of Edinburgh and visited Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and Glengoyne Distillery. Alan was our tour guide and he was an absolute gem! Alan was kind, flexible, informative, intelligent, and funny. We bombarded him with an impressive amount of questions and he had an incredible answer for each! Alan was receptive to our personal interests and planned the route accordingly. He certainly made this tour unforgettable for us. I would highly recommend this tour and definitely Alan. This tour also had an appropriate amount of bathrooms breaks and time for lunch. When booking this experience, this company was fantastic to work with as well.

My husband and I had a perfect day exploring Scotland on the “Best of Scotland” tour on the Wee Red Bus with Keith our guide. It was a great trip that started with the best coffee and scones in Dunkeld, seeing their beautiful Cathedral, visiting Blair Castle in pretty Pitlochry, and going to unique places like Queen's View and the Hermitage which had absolutely breathtaking views. We took tons of great photos!! Keith provided lots of personal touches including some great stories, explaining the history, and even some whiskey tasting. We highly recommend Keith, the Heart of Scotland Tours on the Wee Red bus. We are looking forward to when we can return with the whole family and will do a several day private guided trip!

Me and my 12 friends from Iceland took a trip with Heart of Scotland. This was a private tour with a driver guide. The tour was total 3 days and was extremely enjoyable and educating. Our guide Derek Crowford Munn was very informative and nice. He informed us about all the things we needed to know and answered all our questions. Excellent performance from Derek👍 We did visit Isle of Skye and Lock Nes and many other places. Exelent planning from Heart of Scotland. Thanks for everything. We will definitely be back 😊

A year ago my best friend and I and our husbands were looking for a small group tour company to use for a long-awaited trip to Scotland. It was a blessed day when Heart of Scotland Tours in partnership with adeo Travel popped up on my search. We knew we would love Scotland, but as we departed a few days ago we were just in awe of its stunning beauty, friendly people and vast history and we have James Farrell, our driver/guide in The Wee Red Bus from Heart of Scotland Tours and Luke Manning, travel consultant at adeo Travel to thank. The adeo Secrets of Scotland small group tour we just experienced was seamless and magical and touched us all beyond words. It was an experience we are still trying to fully absorb. James Farrell, our Heart of Scotland tour driver/guide was simply exceptional (not bad). His love and knowledge of Scotland and his eagerness to share its history, folklore and music with us created an incredible (mystical and magical) adventure for the entire group. He took the time to get to know each member of the group separately but also deftly read us as an entire group...i.e. were we timely (timing is everything), willing and physically able to explore beyond the stated itinerary...and every day he expanded our itinerary to our absolute delight. Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, The Fairy Pools, little hikes to secret places and out of the way pubs for lunch were just a few such itinerary expansions (all good). Although the skies were remarkably...unexpectedly... sunny and blue most of our trip, when the weather was inclement (variable and changeable), James showed us the mist and fog and rain just added to the beauty of this land. His love of family and friends, sense of humor, and expansive, quirky sense of music brought laughter, hilarious karaoke and more than a few tears to our eyes. We came together as strangers but left as Clan James forever. The fairies (in my opinion) truly blessed us with James as our fearless guide who we now call friend. James (future King of Scotland) will definitely be our guide for any future Scottish adventures. If you are fortunate to get James as your driver/guide, the humor behind the items in parenthesis above will come to light. We loved The Wee Red Bus from Heart of Scotland tours; it certainly draws attention wherever it goes. The seat and luggage accommodations were absolutely perfect for our group of 5 couples. In addition to his masterful driving, James kept the bus spotlessly clean and sanitized for us. Luke Manning's pre-travel service at adeo Travel went above and beyond and spanned an entire year of planning. There was never a question too big or too small for Luke to answer - a sure sign our concerns/interests were paramount to him. All of our accommodations were booked by adeo Travel and were varied as to style and location (boutique in the heart of Edinburgh, steeped with history in the countryside or rustic along the West Highland Way) which added to the mystique and authenticity of the trip. The included, hearty Scottish or continental breakfasts fortified you for your day of travel, and the provided dinners were sometimes private and enchanting or public and fun. We really enjoyed the free days in the itinerary with Hop on/Hop Off bus tickets where we could explore sites and, of course, find pubs and dining on our own. As we left the Isle of Skye on the ferry to the mainland, a rainbow appeared as if to say 'Haste ye back." We will be back as there is so much more of Scotland to explore and absorb and Heart of Scotland Tours and adeo travel we be part of our clan.

Fabulous tour! Calum is very passionate about Scotland and it was lovely to hear all the stories and legends as we were driving and enjoying these incredible Highland sites. All the accommodation hosts at the guest houses were lovely and very hospitable (the accommodation was booked by the tour operator). Tremendously enjoyed the experience !
