Top Scottish Tours Reviews 33

My husband's 60th birthday is coming up and we are planning a trip to Scotland. We wanted to make sure we saw all the best things during our trip so we decided to hire a tour operator. Well, we most certainly selected the right one! Paul and team have been amazing! Super responsive, friendly and clearly the experts in all things to do in Scotland. He listened to what we wanted to get out of the trip and curated the perfect itinerary. It's the end of January and our trip is not until April, so we have not yet experienced all of the events put together for us. But I will say this, knowing that it is all taken care of by kind and professional people like Paul and his family adds a layer of excitement and anticipation that I underestimated. No stress, no worries... just a wonderful vacation to look forward to! I'll repost after we get back from Scotland.

Paul provided all the specifics and recommendations to make this trip an epic adventure.

Very responsive and accommodating to our needs

What a fun tour. Personal, punctual, comfortable, reliable, interesting, everything one hopes for in a shore experience. Thank you, Paul!

Great tour of the Distilleries. Really helpful during the planning process and flexible and accommodating during the tour.

Craig, our driver was extremely knowledgeable and more important - patient. He knew the roads and helped us to adjust our plans daily. All with fantastic results.

I will not hesitate to refer their services to friends and look forward to my next trip to Scotland when I once again can utilize their services!

We had the pleasure of spending a week touring Scotland with Paul as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Paul demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise that made our family trip truly memorable.

Paul was consistently punctual and reliable throughout our week together. His patience, especially when traveling with our 15-year-old son, was greatly appreciated. What impressed us most was Paul’s extensive knowledge of the areas we visited - he provided fascinating information and insights that brought each location to life.

The logistics were handled flawlessly. Paul arranged our accommodations at various hotels and bed & breakfasts, taking care of all the details so we could simply enjoy the journey. He planned the tour perfectly at our pace, never rushing us and always ensuring we had time to fully appreciate each destination.

One of the highlights was how Paul provided thoughtful recommendations in advance, helping us prioritize the sites that would be most meaningful to our family. This was particularly special for my husband, who was thrilled to explore areas connected to his Scottish ancestry.

The entire family - including our teenager - enjoyed every moment of the trip. The sites were absolutely stunning, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was brilliant. Scotland’s beauty combined with Paul’s expert guidance created memories we’ll treasure forever.

We’re already looking forward to planning another trip with Paul. His dedication to providing an exceptional experience makes him a tour guide we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Scotland.

5 stars all day. Paul was an excellent host and made our trip to Islay easy, fun and relaxing. We let him know what distilleries we wanted to visit and he took it from there. He booked dinners, tours, lunches and scheduled our days for us. Would 100% recommend him to friends and family. Paul was an excellent host but also a genuinely nice guy to hangout with for a few days while enjoying a few pours.

My son and I just spent 3 days touring distilleries in Islay with Paul. He planned everything as we had requested- from tastings to tours to dinners. Always on time and very pleasant and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend and plan to use him again in the future.

Easy transaction

Our warmest recommendations. Paul has humor and is very helpful and serviceminded even when busy. Gave us a lot of insights about Islay and the destilleries. Thank you!

The driver was very informative and I felt like we really got our money's worth.

Top Scottish Tours gave my family the greatest of service on our tour of Islay. Always punctual, safe, knowledgeable, attentive and insightful. Paul has a great sense of humor and made our time so enjoyable that my family wanted to adopt him!!! We saw authentic Scotland, with Paul. Top Scottish Tours is the absolute best !!!!!!!!

Choosing Top Scottish Tours was the best decision that we made while we visited Scotland. Paul was absolutely fantastic and tailored our Islay tour specifically to our requests. He stopped whenever and wherever we asked and took us all around the island to see the greatest sights and tour the best distilleries. He knew all about the history of the island and told us all about it while navigating the beautiful rural countryside. Paul’s tour was the highlight of our Scotland Vacation!

Experiencing Islay with Top Scotiah Tours was the best decision we made during our trip to Scotland. Paul and his son Craig are amazing. The knowledge, insight and planning from these two is top notch. This is the company to book your tours with when you're looking for that genuine Scotish hospitality. We plan to return and book again with Top Scotish Tours.

Our driver Paul picked us up at the airport & drove us out to three distilleries, even stopped by a grocery to pick up lunch for ourselves & then took us back to the airport to fly back to Glasgow. We were very thankful!

They were so helpful in creating a day tour for us when our cruise ship changed ports. Craig, our driver and tour guide was the absolute best! I would use them again and again!

Wonderful tour and Jamie is a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable about Scottish history and he kept us entertained the whole day. He had a great Scottish song list to play to add to the over ambiance:)

I had the chance of doing a private day trip with Craig while in Scotland. Paul made sure to accommodate me as I was last minute for my reservation (less than 12 hours before). Craig was super insightful, considerate and professional. He made sure we saw as much as possible in the day and customized the experience based on the group’s interests. Would 100% recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with them in the future. They made my day as I wasn’t able to book another tour with the rest of my family. And the price is super reasonable!

We were a group of 4 for our tour to Stirling Castle et al. The van provided was roomy and comfortable. Brian was our driver for the day and he was superb. It started a bit rocky with him being delayed because of a wreck on the highway, but he (and the company) made up for not in several ways. We got to do everything we wanted to on the day. Brain stayed later than was scheduled so we could enjoy our tour. We got to see the Wallace Memorial, Bannockburn, the Old Bridge and Stirling Castle. We could not have asked for a better guide and tour. Thanks Paul and Brian for providing us a wonderful experience.
