Reviews
A recommended one-day tour. The driver and tour guide Eric is funny and responsible, telling many interesting stories. The attractions are very special and well worth attending.
We did not end up going on the Rosllyn Chapel tour, they did not meet the numbers to go ahead (so fine and understandable). They instead offered us 3 other options and we went on the Alwnick Castle, Holy Island and Burbagh Castle tour and it was fantastic! Ash, the driver and tour guide, was the right amount of informative and funny without talking too much. The tour also offered a good amount of time to be off the bus and explore. Holy Island is an awesome place to visit.
