We did not have enough time at many of the stops and often arrived at our hotel too early. We did not see Glenfinnin and later learned one of the travelers rented a cab to take her there and back to the town of Ft. William where we were dropped off for several hours which was a wasted day. It was a long day riding the bus to and back from our hotel. Too litte time at Dunrobin Castle and Culloden also. Isle of Sky was a disappointment. Drove around on the bus, the guide was ok, then dropped off for lunch. Dropped off at Inverness. Liked Orkney Islands. Food and service were good at all but one place where our ordered dinner in their restaurant got lost /misplaced. Breakfasts were great. The scenery was fantastic traveling through the countryside. Bagpiper was wonderful for our extra Scottish Night Out dinner, but the food wasn't great, and there was no stage for the Scottish dancers to show us their footwork. Edinburgh Castle was memorable, but the crowds were huge.

I hardly ever rate anything excellent - there were some things I would improve to make sure the person touring got the most out of their days - the local tour guides could have done their tour BEFORE we went to the Edinburgh Castle and that would have left us more time to explore on our own. It was a bit rushed and we hardly got to see the castle.Betty Koval

Great tour with lots to see/do, yet ample free time. Very comfortable coach. 2 of the places we stayed were “quaint” but with decent bathrooms and comfortable beds, good food. Loved the Orkney Islands-the people, the shopping, the scenery, the ferry ride up there. Really enjoyed seeing the Italian Chapel ( just read a historical fiction book that talked about that) The sheep herding and shearing was wonderful. There wasn’t a place on this tour I would have eliminated-it was all interesting, gorgeous scenery. Great info from tour guides. It’s wonderful that the local artists are supported. This was a nice mix of city and country!Carole Herbert

We got a very good view of many places in Scotland…big cities, highland areas, small towns, islands, and sea coast. The local tour guides were excellent and gave us the real feel of how life was/ is in those places. Kim had a wealth of history which really brought every place to life. My favorite place was the Orkneys. I knew very little about them before the trip. Their Nordic history was fascinating. Their military importance was a surprise to me. What a beautiful, peaceful area of Scotland!Susan Sine

Seems like the route could have been planned better. We were in Inverness then drive 2 hours to Castletown and the back tracked to Inverness. There was a lot of bus time wish made it feel rushed when we were able to stop. Sarah was good but she had a big job with over 40 passengers. She was VERY organized. I’m comparing this trip to the Shades of Ireland. We had about 18 tourists and probably a smaller area to tour. My experiences may not be very comparable.

Overall, enjoyable trip. Lots of beautiful countryside. Very nice tour manager and coach driver. Food about average. Took a looong time for Collette-provided dinner service at two hotels. First two days had some wasted time - too much driving up and down same road. This tour had much more coach travel time than other Collette trips, but apparently necessary due to agenda. This was our ninth Collette tour.

Too much traveling on the bus each and every day. Would have preferred to spend more time at the visited sites, and given more time to shop, walk around, and options to NOT participate. Suggest when time is being spent at locations, book more than one night in that locations. We were always having to hurry to use the restroom (toilets didn't work or there was no paper) and then no time to shop, we had to hurry back to the bus. Getting up so early EVERY MORNING was a bummer. Vacations are also for resting, not GO GO GO. Most of my pictures are through a bus window. The food was the same EVERY DAY. A variety would have been better. I would not do a bus tour again nor would I recommend it. I felt like I was a prisoner.

Edinburgh and everything about it for the time we had was excellent; hotel, time to walk, Spirit of Scotland, Holyrood Palace, The Castle, The Tattoo, and the tour with a Wonder Woman guide through the streets over to New Town with historical and interesting stories. Perfect! Dunrobin Castle and Falconry Show was great. Room was OK at The Royal Hotel in Thurso bath room for me (6'-8" and 250 lbs) was extremely tiny, more like a coat closet. First night sleep here without ear plugs was really bad. Bar half way down the block had patrons smoking outside and walking up to the corner to the stop light under my window to talk and yet out ugly word to each other and that car with loud tail pipe kept circling that block. Second night with ear plugs was better, but in didn't try to get back into that tiny shower. Orkney perfectly fantastic and very interesting and informative. Everything we did on our tour was wonderful. The change for the last day and night was fantastic because the restful beautiful place we stayed was the best ending. The Petard working farm with great tour and history talk was a perfect way to connect to life of Scots back then. I know I missed something in trying to describe the key features of my tour. Plenty of opportunities to purchase anything you desired at many places. I even checked out and will purchase my tartan out of Edinburgh at another visit or order it. This culminated or maybe I should say began my genealogy as a Scot.John marshbanks

We liked the sheep dog demo the most. Most least favorable part of trip was American Airlines canceling our connection flight resulting in an 8 1\2 hour wait in Heathrow for the next flight after an all night, no sleep flight. Too angry to shop any stores in airport. I don't liker waiting hours in airports with hundreds to thousands of people wandering by with no blizzard outside as a reason for the delay. A close second least favorable part of the trip was airport security. They could not have been any slower, rude or obnoxios. Several other people on this tour specifically avoided Heathrow and flew into other airports in Europe. One such couple was from the state of Oregon and the other was from Minnesota. They knew something we didn't.

Our time in Loch Bess was three minutes. Get off the boat and on the bus because of all the other stuff he included. I’m sure some people loved the extra stops, I was not one of them. Also had issues with food at one stop and cob webs in windows and hanging from fixtures at another stop.

It was delivered about day 3 at hotel we just left and your guide told them to refuse it and it would catch up with the tour. That did not happen! I think Collette should have paid someone to take their luggage to the next hotel instead of telling the hotel not to accept the luggage. Everyone on the tour was concerned for them and lent them clothing as we were not in areas where they could easily purchase clothes except to souvenir type things. I was told that you shouldn’t book your airfare with Collette because of issues others heard of. Very disappointed in that aspect as I am considering a tour next year to Italy.

Scotland is a beautiful country. Our tour manager Ian, was knowledgeable, as well as funny. The average age of folks on our tour was 70. With that being said, I could have used less castle tours, 4-5 was a bit extreme. The history of the 11th and 12th century for 70 year olds is less than, lets say 20 year olds. Its been over 55 years since we sat in a history class. Well before America was discovered! I would have appreciated more current culture, music, Scotch Brewery's. Breakfasts were excellent, a nice buffet! Lunches on our own provided a wider choice of entrees and salads. Dinners were questionable. Limited menu, small portions and only allowed one beer/wine! The money we paid, at least 2 drinks should have been offered. As far as the hotels, the first 3 were old and dated. The stairs were challenging for people with hip and knee issues. The rooms were very small as well as the showers. At this time, I would still recommend Scotland, but I would remind people its only for 1 week, extreme jet lag. be patient, you will be home soon.

The tour was an amazing whirlwind of sights and experiences from Scotland's past and present. Ian was a phenomenal guide, as were all of the local experts we had on some days. I do recommend that participants are encouraged to wear a face mask if they are coughing or not feeling well. There was a great deal of coughing on our bus, and a number of us got COVID during the tour.Victor Parkinson

The Lochness Tour & Urquhart Castle experience was wonderful (the National Trust does a remarkable job), and the Dun Robin Castle tour was amazing. The castle and grounds are unbelievably beautiful, and the falconry exhibit was amazing. The Scottish scenery is a delight, so even the bus ride part of the tour is fun. Visiting Orkney & Isle of Skye with their prehistoric remains was also a highlight. The sheep shepherd with his border collies was probably my most memorable experience. My husband & I took our 16 year old grandson on his first international trip which made the whole tour extra special.Diana Smith

We chose the tour because it went to almost all the places we wanted to see. It covered long spaces well with comfort stops and sightseeing spots to break up the ride. Most dinners were included because the hotels were isolated and there was little choice for dinner service. All dinners included 3 courses, 3 choices each. Our tour director was great. She blended a group of 21 from a retirement community with 20 other disparate members. She presented the right amount of information about specific areas, attractions, and history. She went out of her way to find a CD we wanted to purchase. The local guides were outstanding in their knowledge and charming besides. I loved the scenery, the commentary, and my husband’s ancestral home on the Isle of Skye.Clarita Froemel

We did not have enough time at many of the stops and often arrived at our hotel too early. We did not see Glenfinnin and later learned one of the travelers rented a cab to take her there and back to the town of Ft. William where we were dropped off for several hours which was a wasted day. It was a long day riding the bus to and back from our hotel. Too litte time at Dunrobin Castle and Culloden also. Isle of Sky was a disappointment. Drove around on the bus, the guide was ok, then dropped off for lunch. Dropped off at Inverness. Liked Orkney Islands. Food and service were good at all but one place where our ordered dinner in their restaurant got lost /misplaced. Breakfasts were great. The scenery was fantastic traveling through the countryside. Bagpiper was wonderful for our extra Scottish Night Out dinner, but the food wasn't great, and there was no stage for the Scottish dancers to show us their footwork. Edinburgh Castle was memorable, but the crowds were huge.

Too much traveling on the bus each and every day. Would have preferred to spend more time at the visited sites, and given more time to shop, walk around, and options to NOT participate.

We were always having to hurry to use the restroom (toilets didn't work or there was no paper) and then no time to shop, we had to hurry back to the bus. Getting up so early EVERY MORNING was a bummer. Vacations are also for resting, not GO GO GO. Most of my pictures are through a bus window. The food was the same EVERY DAY. A variety would have been better. I would not do a bus tour again nor would I recommend it. I felt like I was a prisoner.

The food and meals included were very good. Very disappointed with the tour manager and condition of some the hotels on this trip. This was not the quality we expected from Collette.Marcia Ringer

The first three days were “uneventful”. Stops were not that interesting. Ruins of a castle, basically three walls, was a disappointment. Cultural experiences with the locals would have been enjoyable. Sheep dog trainer and demonstration was the highlight of our trip .... that says a lot.

The tour was fantastic, visiting historical sites and fun options. My most memorable experience was very personal. While in Edinbergh I went to the Scottish Registry and found where my great-grandfather lived and the church where he worshiped. Both his home and his church were qithin a block of our hotel.

Everything we did was so well mapped out. The driving times weren't too much, we had enough stops, we had plenty of time for lunches and shopping and never felt rushed, and we saw some incredible things! Learned a lot from our wonderful guide, and truly feel that I experienced Scotland to the fullest. My favorite experience on the trip was two things. Dunrobin Castle was fantastic, and watching the falconry show was spectacular! We had just the perfect amount of time there that I didn't feel rushed or that I had to miss out on anything. And we had the best bowl of tomato soup there that I've ever had in my life! I also LOVED the sheepdog farm experience!! It was so fascinating learning about the dogs and watching the dogs bring in the sheep to every command of their owner. It was amazing. And we got to cuddle puppies at the end of it!!!

For me the highlands were the best, sheep dog farm, and ridding the ferries. History was very good. Very rushed, and not active enough for me, plus very clickily groups, didn't fit in. To much bus ridding. The group too big (41) hard to manage.

Loved Orkney Island and especially the Italian chapel. Please note: would be helpful if upon start of tour, the tour manager would give out rating sheets for each hotel so we could do it upon leaving. I always forget to make notes on the accomodations and they all run together by the end of the trip when they ask for our ratings.
