We truly enjoyed touring the northeastern Scottish countryside and exploring Crathes, Balmoral, and Dunnothar castles and their associated histories. Nothing was rushed or complicated. Malcolm was very friendly, informative, and accommodating - highly recommended day tour!

We had a fantastic day! The Aberdeen area is incredibly beautiful and so rich in history. Malcolm was a great guide, and added knowledge and fun to the day. He was very pleasant and flexible. We hope to visit Aberdeen again and would like to spend more time with him as a guide.
