Great day
Susan_H, Sep 2023
Brian was a great driver. We were able to see all the sights we had planned. The van was comfortable for all four of us.
Beautiful countryside but quite pricey.
Wendy_P, Sep 2023
Our driver William was very helpful with my husband who is physically challenged. The car was super comfortable. We only wished that he had kept the conversation going a bit more as we drove for miles without a word as to what we were seeing.
Edinburgh, Scotland (cruise port)
Katherine_C, Sep 2023
Truly an amazing day. We were able to walk around the Kelpies as well as Stirling Castle. Part of our group did a tasting/tour at Deanston Distillery while the other half went shopping. We stopped to feed some highland cows (Hamish) and enjoyed a relaxing lunch at Roman Camp Bistro. Our guide was magically able to also fit in a tasting at Glenturret Distillery before getting us back to the cruise port. If you only have 1 day to see the area, THIS is the tour to accomplish everything (all the highlights).
Enjoyable ride,...

Scotland is AMAZING and Brian was OUTSTANDING!!
Shallon_H, May 2023
Brian was an absolute delight! He made our trip and was full of information, humor and great tips. Our whole family fell in love with Scotland and Brian was a huge reason. Our trip was a perfect blend countryside and classic Scottish sights. Super comfortable vehicle, provided us with waters, plenty of opportunities to stop off and adjust our itinerary based on what we wanted to see. Brian knew the area really well, took us to all of the great places and was very friendly - he made the trip exciting and fun - BEST tour guide we have ever had! A+++++++++
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thanks Shallon for your awesome review, great to hear that Brian gave you all a Scottish Experience to remember too.
Beautiful Highlands DayTrip

Private Tour
Travis_G, Mar 2023
Had a good time with William. He was very knowledgeable about so many things. If you want to see outside of the city this tour is for you. The one suggestion I would make is to schedule less things so you can have enough time at the destinations you really want to see. Only so much time to fit things in.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for your kind words and time. Of course your business too. Thank You for allowing Aura Journeys to be part of your Scottish Adventure.
Wonderful day trip!
Sadie_M, Nov 2022
We had a wonderful time exploring more of the Scottish countryside with William as our guide! Super responsive and very willing to tailor the day to make it what we wanted. Definitely would recommend this day out if you’re looking to see a bit of more of Scotland outside of Edinburgh!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thanks Sadie for your lovely review, we will ensure William gets your kind words too. We do appreciate you trusting Aura Journeys while in Scotland.
Just Do It!
Taylor_L, Sep 2022
If you are on the fence about doing this, don't think, just do it! I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. William is the absolute best! He worked with us to get in the couple of sites we wanted to be sure to see as well as gave us a list of his suggestions. We had so much fun seeing The Kelpies, South Queensferry, Deanston Distillery, Callander to see a Hamish cow followed by a beautiful lunch spot at the Potting Shed, Aberfoyle and Stirling Castle. We cannot thank William enough for such a wonderful day! We truly got the full Scottish experience. We cannot sing William's praises enough. Such a fun day! He even worked hard to try to rearrange his schedule to add another day for us! William, we hope to be back one day to see you! Be sure to look us up if you are in Chicago! - Taylor, Kevin, Al, Katie, Joyce, Steve
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Good Morning Taylor, Kevin, Al, Katie, Joyce and Steve - So Pleased William looked after you all and gave a great experience. He takes great Pride in making sure all our visitors get a great Scottish Experience.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Day trip from Edinburgh
Steve Y, Oct 2019
Great day with William, our driver and guide. William is knowledgeable of the region and addressed our questions with a blend of personal experience and history. Sites included small towns, castles, boat excursion on a loch, terrific lunch lakeside and a distillery tour. Just seeing the Scottish countryside was delightful. The pick-up was seamless, door to door from our hotel.
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Thank You Steve for your lovely review, we will ensure William is given your kind words. Thank you for allowing Aura Journeys to be part of your adventure.
Excellent Guide and driver
Jacqueline V, Sep 2019
We had the best guide and driver ever! We did many tours in Scotland and Ireland and this one topped them all. Murray was a careful, caring, excellent driver and extremely knowledgeable/ He made the all day tour a delight and we are so pleased with his manner and professionalism. He was the best!
Response from Host, Dec 2021
So pleased the service given met expectations and gave you a great Scottish Highlands experience. We will ensure Murry gets your kind words too.
Most comfortable way to travel and see many sights!
Genette_S, Jun 2019
Our guide was so delightful. We had good weather and when our planned boat excursion on a lake was delayed, we were able to quickly form another plan and move on to see more. We experienced so much that day and were guided and driven around in a luxurious and comfortable van where we could face each other and socialize and talk. Absolutely enjoyable day with a lot of information, sight seeing and experiencing local culture ending it with a beer stop in a local pub. Highly recommended for anyone to get the most out of Edinburgh in a short amount or limited time frame.
Response from Host, Dec 2021
Thank You Genette for the review and of course your business, so pleased your private tour met expectations and gave you all a great experience of Scotland
