Guest Stories
Reflections from cruise travelers and private explorers who joined our immersive Scottish tours.
"We had the most magical day of our entire cruise with Fantastic Scottish Destinations, our driver Stephen treated us like old friends and our whole tour experience was simply fabulous. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked to come back to Scotland on vacation next year and of course, booked a few days with Fantastic Scottish Destinations!"
THE DAVIS FAMILY, FROM ACROSS THE POND
"We had only planned on joining a few excursions on our most recent cruise. We were introduced to Fantastic Scottish Destinations by friends and joined them in a group tour. We had the best tour of our cruise, and possibly the best of our visits to Scotland"
Sarah and Luke, Austin, Texas
A group of us arrived for a golfing trip, we have used these guys before and everything was top notch. We had forwarded over our hotels and course times, and left the logistics to them. Service as always was fantastic, and we had plenty of room for ourselves, clubs and luggage. Great company
