What to Look For in Scotland Tour Reviews

Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary. Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.

Reviews for tours in Scotland are generally positive, ranking 3, 4, and 5 stars. It’s important to remember that visitors to Scotland cover a wide age range and interests, with a slight weighing toward older travelers. Additionally, some tours in Scotland also visit Ireland, so bear in mind that some reviews are commenting on a multi country experience.

Accommodations in Scotland, and much of the UK, have some quirky characteristics. A vast majority of tours will utilize local bed and breakfasts and guest houses for a local flavor, but you can expect to deal with some interesting challenges.

Narrow staircases, cozy rooms, and small doorways add to the charm, but can be an adjustment at first. Some negative reviews comment on their Scotland accommodations - but if you go prepared, you may be less surprised by the differences.

Positive reviews for Scotland tours consistently mention their guides personable nature and ability to make them feel like a local. Especially if you’re not from the UK, having a guide who can bring the somewhat complicated political history and royal family structure to life in an engaging way is a huge asset.

Some negative reviews state that the itinerary simply tried to do too much too fast - and would have appreciated a slower paced tour.
