A not to be missed private day trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Sean was fantastic. He was a wealth of information and added so much to our experience. Rosslyn Chapel is fascinating and shouldn't be missed. Melrose is a quaint town and we had a great lunch at Burts. Touring Sir Walter Scott's home. Abbotsford was a wonderful experience. The countryside was breathtaking even though the day was very rainy with high winds. Dryburgh Abbey was closed due to the high winds, which was unfortunate, but we still had a stellar day. Highly recommend this tour and Sean.

Fantastic tour to Scottish historical sites

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a fantastic tour with Stuart to Melrose Abbey, Rosslyn Chapel, Abbotsford (Sir Walter Scott’s home), and Dryburgh Abbey as scheduled sites. He then took the time to add multiple additional sites that he thought might interest us—and they did! He took care to ensure the tour was comfortable and well paced and that we had sufficient time at each site. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Scotland and Scottish history.
