It was an excellent tour experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories throughout. Even when it started raining, he continued without interruption and completed the entire explanation on time. After his briefing, we had plenty of time to explore the castle on our own. The castle itself was huge and beautiful — definitely a must-visit.

We came from Hong Kong 🌏 and joined Connor’s insightful tour 🇬🇧. He guided us through Scotland’s history, from the Highlands to the Union Act, in a truly engaging way. The highlight was the unforgettable 🚂 steam train journey to Fort William, which made the experience even more special.
