Scotland Tours From Edinburgh

Our accommodations were very nice. We wanted boutique type stays and we got them. Quirky, fun, historic or special in other ways. Restaurants on site were scrumptious - especially where there were very few other options. In Glasgow, so many good restaurants nearby. Breakfasts in general far exceeded expectations. When there were no elevators, we were offered help with our bags. We found many prior Nordic clients returning to the same inns several times. The materials provided were very nice. Especially appreciated the marked up route on the travel map. It provided suggestions that we used.

The tour was well organised and there was plenty of information given both before hand and on arrival. Communication with the the company was excellent

This trip was everything I'd hoped it would be! Barbara was an amazing tour guide, so kind and thoughtful. She enriched our experience with stories of the history and culture of Scotland that made this trip especially meaningful. Our driver John was a consummate professional and so courteous! He looked dashing in his kilt on the last night. All the sites we visited were stunning with just enough time in between each destination to get the most out of our time in this beautiful country. Worth every penny!

We had an amazing tour through the Scottish Highlands. Dave, our tour guide is super knowledgeable about the history, the culture and landscape of Scotland and the Highlands. We learned so much from him and he encouraged our questions and comments. The tour was wonderful because of Dave. Not to diss John, our driver, who is also a treasure. The two of them together made our trip super fun and we also learned a lot about Scotland.We visited so many amazing places. The planning of the tour was really good.I could not have asked for a more perfect tour for me. I loved every second of it and now just want to go back. Thanks for a lovely trip!

We had a fabulous trip in Scotland thanks to Nordic Visitor! Our guide John and driver John were amazing, taking time to give us history, cultural and local perspectives. They both had excellent senses of humor and abundant patience with our group. The hotels were very welcoming and comfortable. We were able to spend time meeting local people and sharing a dram of whisky and many laughs. Nordic was very responsive both before and during our trip to answer our questions and arranging last minute transportation.

Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable & the accommodations & meals at the hotels were very good.

The tour guides in Scotland and Ireland were the best. They gave us historical information about each area or stop and shared personal stories which made it better. They both were very professional and had great senses of humor. They answered our many questions or found the answers. They helped us register in each hotel and found great restaurants for us. When we had any minor problems, they helped us solve the issue. Our drivers did a professional job getting us to each tour site or hotel safely and efficiently. Our tour group was great. We bonded quickly and we made lifelong friends.The only recommendation I would make is to avoid hotels without a lift. Older travelers have a harder time climbing stairs with heavy luggage.

John was our tour guide and he did a splendid job on our Highlights of Scotland Tour. We especially enjoyed his narratives which gave us the historical significance and rich contextual details for the many sites and events we saw. We loved the dinners and accommodations and were particularly pleased and impressed with the Glenspean Lodge in Roy Bridge, Fort William. The delightful cuisine offered at the Hame on Skye Hotel was delectable including the best venison I have ever eaten. We want also enjoyed the colorful commentary and witty humor of our superb driver, Stevie, who introduced name to Snooker. All in all, we had an unforgettable experience on our tour.

Chris and the rest of the team were wonderfully responsive while I was arranging my trip and were on top of issues along the way. Accommodations were excellent, the rentals were top-notch, and the proposed itinerary was excellent - enough time to get where we were going and explore along the way. I heartily recommend them to anyone wanting a personalized experience without the hassles and will use them again.

The tour was amazing from the get go. Starting with Magadelena. Very organized without overloading with emails. Tour guide Dave made our trip magical with his knowledge, fun spirit and kept us moving. We did have two nights in Isle of Sky hotel and both nights had no hot water. That was the only negative, however the food prepared for us there made up for it- amazing food. John, our driver, was professional, comical, and we all loved him. This is a great tour -moving us all over Scotland. I would take another Nordic visitor tour on our next trip to Europe. Great job with this company. But Dave, our kilt wearing tour guide, was the star of this tour. We thank the whole professional team at Nordic Visitor.

Great trip from the very start of planning. Our travel consultant quickly responded when we had any questions, and the trip itself was amazing. Both our guide and driver were engaged, knowledgable, and entertaining. Their love of Scotland was infectious. We never could have seen and learned so much on our own. Highly recommend this group trip, especially with Dave as a guide and John as the driver!!

Our personal travel consultant, Gabby, was wonderful! So was our guide David and our driver Stevie on our 10 day small group tour of Scotland. We stayed at some wonderful hotels, especially Hame on Skye, and visited some of the most beautiful places! Our guide and our driver really went the extra mile and made the trip very fun and memorable, and we met some really great people in our tour group! This is our second tour with Nordic Visitor (we did a self drive in Iceland in 2023) and we loved it so much we are already planning to do the Scandinavian tour next year. Thanks so much for everything!

Nordic Visitor took the stress out of planning our holiday by doing it all for us and personalising to our needs. Michelle and her team in the Edinburgh office were easy to communicate with despite being on the other side of the world from us. The 29 days went without a hitch. The accommodation varied but had obviously being carefully considered.

Our entire experience with Nordic Visitor for our road tour of Scotland was exceptional. They made everything so easy – the hotel accommodations were excellent and the hire trouble free. The suggestions and written guide were extremely helpful. We will strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a pain-free tour through the Scottish Highlands.

Alex was great. He's knowledgeable, funny, and an excellent driver who always made us feel safe.

It was easy to book with them. They answered questions. Everything worked out perfect.

Our Highlands tour was fantastic. Everything Nordic Visitor arranged worked out perfectly. Our travel consultant (Jana) was so helpful in arranging everything and answering all our questions before hand. She was fantastic. Our tour guide (Peter) made sure we visited all the sites we had planned as well as taking us to others that he was aware of. Accommodations and food were wonderful. I will certainly recommend Nordic Visitor to my friends. This was our 50th anniversary trip and they made it special.

The accommodations were fabulous as well as the included breakfasts. Activities offered as add ons were great.

Our trip to Scotland was quite amazing to say the least, and my wife and I really appreciate the effort Lauriane put into ensuring everything was coordinated right down to the last detail. In short, our itinerary was nearly flawless. We had no issues at all with any of the bookings for lodging or excursions. All of the trip information was provided on day one, and the highlighted map was invaluable in helping us plan each day from one city to the next. Our rental car service (Arnold Clark) was excellent as well. Thanks again for the excellent service, and I have already spoken to many of my family and friends about you and Nordic Visitor doing such a great job.

We were on the 2 week Wonders of Scotland and Ireland Tour in May, 2025. This was our second tour with Nordic. As with our first tour to Iceland, this tour was one our favorite trips. It was a small group of 11 people. Our guide, Anita, and our drivers, Dave and Desi, were excellent. All were very professional, knowledgeable about our surroundings, helpful, kept us informed of our schedule and where to be when. The stops and hotels were organized and we felt we received and excellent experience of the beautiful countries of Scotland and Ireland. We not hesitate to do other tours with Nordic Vistor.

Our trip was fabulous! Our consultant always responded to any questions and made arrangements for any extra activity or hotels we needed before and after the tour. Our guide and driver were very knowledgeable, caring and enjoyable.

Wonderful trip! First guided tour & it will not be the last! Our guide, Barbara, was just the BEST! Plus she's a walking history book, providing many interesting facts about all the places we visited. Tim, our driver was also a great guy, very professional! I can not recommend Nordic Visitor highly enough, I'm telling all my friends they need to go on a Nordic Tour!

First, our guide Anita was terrific. She read a lot of history to us, had a warm personality, great sense of humor and went above and beyond for us. Transport was excellent, kudos to Dave and Dessi. Great hotels except the Gleneagle. It's too big with not enough facilities, especially in the dining area. You had to line up to get in and even then they were not ready for our 11 person group. All locations visited were enjoyable. It would be nice to have more time in some places instead of having to stick to a tight schedule. But it's a tour so I understand the constraints.A meet and greet in Edinburgh would have been a good idea . Nordic Visitor provided excellent pre-trip info and tour packets. Overall,the trip was well-planned

Nordic Visitor did an outstanding job for us. From start to finish, our trip was well planned by Eve and Jana. They answered all our questions and made sure we had the right dates and correct documents for all our stays in both Scotland and Ireland.

This was my second tour using Nordic Visitor and I was very pleased with their customer service, support, and responsiveness. My travel consultant was Eve for this journey and the car rental service they contract with was Sixt, who was very easy and friendly to manage the car loan.

Excellent! Nordic Visitor and Zachary were great as usual.

Our trip to Scotland was a dream come true, well-timed and well-paced. It was a joy to work with Magda in planning the trip, including a day at the Braemar gathering for the Highland Games. Our personal guide Kenny was knowledgeable and well informed. We were able to see landscapes and historical sights as well as four of the islands that we would never have seen otherwise.. The online videos do not do justice to Scotland! It must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!We give you at Nordic Visitor and Kenny our highest recommendations! This trip far exceeded our expectations and even our dreams! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This was a fantastic tour. Duncan, our travel consultant, was helpful with questions and changes.  Barbara, our tour guide, was so fun and knowledgeable. Jim, our driver, was fun and also safe.  The hotels were comfortable, the food was great (they were able to accommodate my allergies), and we got to see so much of Scotland. I would recommend! I would also book another trip with Nordic Visitor if I knew Barbara was our tour guide. She's that good.

It is a really good experience. Got the best group. Berry our guide was amazing. The bus and drivers incredible. The only I would say is that some hotels are old and dont have elevetors.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Scotland tour with Nordic Visitor. Our tour guide, Dave, and driver, Wullie, were amazing. Very knowledgeable about the places we visited, and epic with the banter and fun times. Accommodation was great. Food was amazing (especially at Hame on Skye). The bus was comfortable. The places we visited were very enjoyable. 

The tour director and driver both were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our Scotland adventure, starting with the great communication from Eve, she had gotten everything right! Accommodations were great, we especially enjoyed Torlinnhe guest house in Fort William! Mark, the owner, had touches to our room that we loved, made the best pancakes and informed us of the must see things nearby. Voco was great as well. We loved the rich history of this most beautiful country!

What a great service, perfectly organized, great selection of attractions, great selection of accommodation with location and great breakfasts. Could not have been better organized.

It was well organised and everything went to plan.

We had a wonderful trip and are thankful for all the planning and assistance Nordic Visitor provided. Our accommodations were very nice, we received an upgraded rental car at no additional cost, and all vendor staff were lovely. I've already looked at other tours Nordic Visitor provides to choose our next trip.

The entire Nordic Visitor experience was first class for my wife and I on our trip to Scotland. They booked us amazing accommodation and made sure everything was taken care of. Chris and Sophie were very kind and quick to respond whenever we had a question during the booking process. I highly recommend this service and will be using it again in the future.

Our trip through Nordic to Scotland was amazing. Eve, our consultant, and Sophie, Eve's backup, were responsive and very helpful. We had flight changes, cancellations and delays and Eve and Sophie quickly helped us adjust the trip. Eve also helped to schedule tours and reservations for dinner. Thank you both. We booked a private driver, guide and were very lucky to get Dave. He is very knowledgable about the history, geography, plants and animals in the area. He considered our interests and customize our trip. Dave also selected great places for lunch. My son proposed to his girlfriend on the trip and Dave picked the most incredible spot. We hiked to the Steall waterfall and it was perfect. I highly recommend Dave!

Fantastic experience, our driver, Willie was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. The Hotels were excellent, the countryside was beautiful. I would highly recommend Nordic Visitor.

We chose Nordic Visitor after researching various other options for our trip to Scotland. Having a planned trip with the flexibility to stop and spend as much time as we wanted at a particular spot was important. The accommodations were wonderful, and we got to meet the great people of Scotland on a personal level. Our travel consultant answered our questions promptly and was very knowledgeable.

Our agent (Jana) was terrific to work with and very flexible.

Great pre-arranged accommodations, lots of information on driving route. This is our 3rd tour with Nordic Visitors and we wouldn't hesitate to use them or refer them to our friends!

Everything turned out amazing. The travel arrangements were seamless: hotels, car rental, ferry crossings, attractions etcetera. Everything went smoothly. Helpful when we changed our itinerary at the last moment. At each location a list of attractions to see/do, including restaurant listings for each area. Travel consultant always responded via Emails. Then accommodations were a good blend of accommodations with hotels and BNBs.

So, the experience was awesome. The suggestions were great and the bookings were spot on. We had absolutely no issues with the trip! The rooms were great, the tours were great! We could not have been more pleased with the overall experience. I look forward to using Nordic Visitor for our travels in the future.

All Nordic travel consultants were very knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and in a prompt timeframe. Our tour guide was awesome and catered to our specific interests and gave us many fun facts throughout. The Nordic tour covered the country with stops in the best places to allow us to experience the scenery and historical sites.

For people who want to see a lot of sights in a short period of time, the Wonders of Scotland tour is for you. The only downfall is there is not a lot of time to explore the towns we drive through other than a quick lunch. The tour helped us figure out locations we would like to come back to and explore more deeply in the future.

We happily recommend Nordic Visitor. Professional and personal.

The routing plan and the suggestions regarding what sights not to miss were very good. The hotel choices were generally good, and in the rare instance of a problem, your follow up was very good. We appreciate your experience and plan to work with you a third time in the near future.

The Wonders of Scotland tour was above and beyond my expectations - everything was as described and then some. Kirsten in the central office was easy to work with, answered all my questions and was so helpful. The tour guide, Dan, was an expert in his knowledge of each site that we visited and in local lore and customs. Our driver, John, was a gem. He even wore his kilt at our last dinner.  I loved it and hope to visit beautiful Scotland again with Nordic Visitor.

We had such a great trip in Scotland. Our travel consultant, Duncan was so patient with us in putting the trip together for us and was very responsive when we had any questions or concerns. We could not have had a better guide than Peter. He was so much fun and we learned so much from him. He became part of our group immediately and we consider him a friend. This is the 2nd time we've used Nordic Visitor and can't imagine using another tour company now.

Our tour driver was awesome and really was the highlight of our tour. The accommodations were great, but would have preferred to be within walking distance of a town.

Our private tour guide Andy was the best. It was great because of him.

All accommodation were phenomenal with one exception. Issue was reported to Nordic Visitor and they responded wonderfully. So happy with the service we received from our travel consultant.

Had an overall wonderful experience! Rebecca was wonderful for all of the booking process, and we felt very prepared for our trip! Her recommendations were wonderful.

It was so nice to have all of the logistics handled for us so we just went day to day and always knew where we were staying that night.

We took the 14 day self-driving tour of Scotland with 2 extra days in Edinburgh at the end. Picking up and returning the rental car was very easy. We enjoyed the sightseeing suggestions offed in our documents even though we didn't make all of them. Enjoyed our celebratory bubbly on our arrival! We were notified of our cancelled ferry in plenty of time. No problems at all. We are very happy that we chose Nordic Visitor.

We did the Outlander Tour with Nordic Visitor and were able to see many of the filming locations as well as so many other amazing locations and attractions.

Duncan was an excellent help. Very helpful, prompt and personable.

The tour was well organised and the itinerary recommendations and site guide were great references but also left us freedom to customise on our own, although the rain "dampened" (pun intended) the experience.

While we had difficulties with the air travel arriving at our beginning destination, correspondence with the Nordic Visitor agents went smoothly allowing us to re-arrange the pre-booked airport shuttle to accommodate our altered arrival time.

Everything was taken care of and the itinerary was excellent. We followed the itinerary each day and found that it was perfect for taking in the sights that we would have wanted to see. The pace of travel was good, and the places outlined in the itinerary were great!

A personal connection was established with our agent. The tour packet was filled with great information. We certainly covered a lot of the beautiful country. The Highlands were amazing! Great, quick response to an after-hours question on the last day of our tour!

The itinerary Rebecca set up for us included all of the sites we told her we wanted to see. It was very orderly so we weren't backtracking. She also included places "along the way" that we might want to check out. All of the documentation she emailed to us was clear and easy to follow. The rental car had an awesome GPS which we depended on.

Chris, our travel consultant, was extraordinarily helpful from our first inquiry onwards. He was able to answer all our questions and helped us customise the Complete Scotland package to meet our needs. Having our itinerary, with lodging already arranged, allowed us to explore each day as we drove through breathtaking views seemingly at every turn on the way. As first-time visitors to Scotland, using Nordic Visitor to plan our stay was the perfect option for us.

We found Nordic Visitor from online search in Australia. Our travel agent hadn't heard of the company, but we proceeded in any case as the self-drive tour was what we wanted. It turned out to be the best decision we had made. Chris was very helpful from day 1 of our contact, and was even able to adjust the self drive as we had already made plans for the Edinburgh portion. Chris even provided us with some suggested day options for the 5 days we had already booked. We met Chris in person in their offices and he was very helpful and explained any questions we had. Have and will continue to recommend this company for any travellers to the Nordic regions.

Very easy use of vouchers. Loved having all of the documents waiting for us.

Great tour. Great service.

Nordic Visitor made it really easy to travel around Scotland. They took up much of the planning and logistics.

Duncan, our travel consultant, was very helpful and efficient with all the adjustments I wanted to make to the 8 days Classic Tour. He also chose the right driver/guide for us. The tour was wonderful and corresponding to our indiviual pace. The hotels were very good and he had made dinner reservations, what I wouldn't have expected to be necessary. Everything went smoothly.

So very glad we chose Nordic Visitor! The tour guides for Scotland and Ireland were amazing! They shared facts and interesting information about the country and towns we visited, added extra tidbits and trivia that enhanced our experience. Made suggestions for local entertainment, music and shows, which added so much fun for our group. I never thought having an experienced driver and tour guide would add so much to our experience and eliminate so much stress to a vacation but it was well worth it! Transportation was perfect and comfortable for 8 adults too.

This is our second Nordic Visitor tour. We would definitely look through them again. From start to finish, everything was professional, well handled, and delivered on its promises.

This was a great tour. The high qualIty of our guide and drivers, hotels and general communication put this company at the top of the various tours we have taken.

We had a wonderful experience using Nordic Visitor. From the start of planning our adventure to Scotland, the communication before trip was outstanding. The tour itself was well thought out, we saw so many sights that on our own we may have missed. We only wished there were more hours in a day so we could have spent more time in the gorgeous countryside of Scotland (and maybe have done a bit more shopping!).

We really appreciated the small group aspect which we think made the trip more enjoyable. We were able to interact with fellow travellers very easily which added to the overall experience.  

Everything about our Highlights of Scotland tour was exceptional! We were greeted at the Edinburgh Airport by our very friendly airport transfer and taken to our hotel. It was so nice after a long travel from the US to have someone at the airport waiting for us. The transport back to the airport after our tour... another very friendly and entertaining driver! It was everything we hoped it would be and so much more!

We also want to whole heartedly commend Chris in the Edinburgh office for taking such good care of us as we prepared for our Highlights of Scotland tour. We were always well informed of deadlines that needed to be met for the trip. Chris also answered our questions sent by email quickly. We never had to wonder about any of the questions we had in regard to finances, transportation to and from the airport, safety, insurance, what to pack, restrictions if any and adding extra days in Edinburgh after the tour ended. Chris was wonderful. 

We enjoyed the tour, although it was very busy. I would prefer more 2 night stays. Packing up everyday gets old. I would probably choose a longer tour with not so much moving around.

We were very pleased with the service and product offered by Nordic Visitor. Chris, our travel cosultant, was very attentive. Our actual guides, Peter and Caralina, were excellent. Nordic Visitor may not be the cheapest, but they did deliver, as promised.

Nordic Visitor more than met my expectations. Rebecca's pre-trip planning advice was very helpful and clear, and the trip itself went off without a hitch. Accommodation were clean and some of the choices were full of character. I am a generally picky traveller, and it's rare that I am very happy with almost no complaints about a tour operator. I was thoroughly pleased with Nordic Visitor.

Nordic Visitor had a good provider of the car. They took care of a flat tire, a major problem in the remote north of Scotland.

Trip was well-planned and several helpful adjustments made for our travel needs. Travellers coming from the U.S. are going to still be tired from jetlag (especially after a day on foot in Edinburgh) on the first day renting a car. The adjustment and challenges of driving on the left-hand side in heavy urban or busy vacation travel was even more than we expected, so it is hard to make the first day itinerary and see much. We had added a day in the middle of Express Scotland and should have added one more near the beginning. A smaller rental car than one might think they need is recommended to better manage the many narrow city streets, rural single track roads with laybys, small parking areas, stone walls and hedges, lack of shoulders or potholed roads, and limited sight distances on winding roads. Smaller is better.

Loved the attention to detail with all the recommendations given on the road trip. Magdalena was exceptional in her service and we could see the passion with which she does what she does.

We couldn't fault Nordic Visitor on any detail. Our consultant, Rebecca, responded promptly to any queries we had during the booking process. The material provided for us on arrival in Edinburgh was great. The included tour itinerary, map, accommodation vouchers and restaurant suggestions were comprehensive and all we could have wished for.

I worked closely with Rebecca from Nordic Visitor and she was extremely helpful and accommodating. She was very responsive to emails and questions/requests and I couldn't have asked for a better person to plan this trip for us! The detail in our travel documents as well as maps were so helpful.

It was great to have everything taken care of. We just showed up at the location, gave our name and everything was taken care of. It made traveling so easy.

Chris, our travel consultant, was always available, helpful and efficient. We did not need anything else during our tour because everything was so well arranged. I have already recommended Nordic Visitor to a good number of people.

Nordic Visitor was very attentive to all of our special requests - the documents provided were excellent; both the vouchers and suggested side trips, etc. The rental car was terrific and when we had an issue with 2 flat tires the rental company came right away to rescue us and change both tires. We can't express our gratitude enough for such a perfect and wonderful vacation. It was truly a well planned trip and we enjoyed everything thoroughly from start to finish. The B&Bs were top notch and very comfortable. Nordic Visitor does a great job in finding the best places to stay, the best tours to book, and insuring that you get the most value for your travel time and expenditures. We can't wait to book another vacation with them!

It was exactly as we hoped and as advertised

I'm not a very experienced traveller, but your services took away so much of the stress surrounding all the unknowns of travel. Everything was taken care of in advance, laid out beautifully, was very user-friendly, complete with options to choose from. I was a little nervous about how long it took to get the complete booking information, but once we were there and doing the tour I saw why! It was so well-put-together.

We had the trip of a lifetime through Nordic Visitor. Kristen planned every detail with such care that we felt stress-free on our trip. Everything from our rental car to each accommodation we stayed in. Every location was stunning and the rooms were perfect with such amazing views. The personalised map with our trip marked out was such an amazing touch which we will keep. The detailed itinerary was very helpful when deciding what we were going to see each day. I cannot say enough about how great our experience was with Nordic Visitor - everything was perfectly planned. It really was an incredible experience and I cannot wait to book another trip through them.

Our guide, Dave, was excellent and really made our first visit to Scotland one to remember!

We really liked the expertise that Nordic Visitor provided - the knowledge of specific hotels, attractions, and activities. And having a support line to fall back on proved invaluable.

Wonderful!

Magda, our travel consultant, was responsive and reassuring. When she was on holiday her colleague quickly responded to our inquiries. I applaud your agency for waiting a week to send out the survey. Makes sense due to a foggy jet lag mind. Thanks for everything. My daughter and her partner, in their 30s said it was their best vacation ever. It was nice to stay in the same place for 6 nights in an interesting area with mass transit options nearby.

Our tour guide, Peter, was absolutely terrific. He listened carefully to our interests and our needs. His knowledge of Scotland and Scottish history was top-tier. He was always friendly and pleasant, full of stories and anecdotes.

We were really impressed, and we plan to try and book future tours with Nordic Visitor. Andy, our tour guide, did an amazing job! Allen, our driver, was also a very good driver.

All agents at Nordic Visitor were amazing! Our main agent, Kirsten, responded quickly with every question I had and supported me through all add on options. I will definitely go with Nordic Visitor for future travel plans.

It would have been helpful to receive the heavy tour book prior to travel. We lugged it from place to place. Andy was the best guide ever! Outstanding source of info, very entertaining throughout the trip!

Our tour guide, Dan, and driver were fabulous. Nobody brought up a subject that Dan was not fully prepared for. His wealth of knowledge is an excellent resource in Nordic Visitor.

Holly was an amazing guide who helped us navigate Scotland with ease.

Overall experience was good. Not enough time to do justice to the itinerary.

We booked the Highlands & Isle of Skye self-drive tour. Chris was extremely helpful in getting everything planned and kept us well-informed. All of the people we met were extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Our tour path enabled us to see just how beautiful of a country Scotland really is. We saw 13 castles, 4 old churches/cathedrals, 3 stone circles, dinosaur tracks and amazing landscapes. We would definitely do it again and are already recommending this trip to our friends and family.

We chose the lower of two tiers of accommodations. For the most part, they met our expectations: the rooms were quite small, but clean, staff at the places we stayed were friendly, and it was convenient not to have to go elsewhere for breakfast each day. The information booklet provided by Nordic Tours was helpful. The highlight of our journey was our guide. Gary was top-notch, and everything one could ask for: friendly, knowledgable, efficient, and a skilled navigator and driver. On many occasions, he helped us rearrange our plans on-the-fly, suggesting that we visit other sites or in a different sequence than originally planned, which made better use of our limited time.

The ease of just turning up and enjoying ourselves was fabulous. Pretty much everything was catered for. Overall, all stays were amazing. The travel was well-calculated for each day, also allowing us to go off on our own adventures. Kirsten did an fabulous job and we'd jump at the chance to do it all again!

The information provided for each day was very useful when planning our day. Also knowing we would have accommodation was good.

The entire process was simple from start to finish. The recommended itinerary was excellent. The accommodation was uniformly excellent. Clearly, they had been well-researched and I would be happy staying at any of them again. The Nordic Visitor staff was a pleasure to work with.

Our rental car was fabulous and the process was easy to pick it up. We loved most of our hotels, but one or two were a bit more dated than what we had imagined.

Almost all of the accommodation exceeded our expectations - some being excellent. The car was fantastic - easy to drive, spacious and very good mileage. Very good communication with our Nordic Visitor tour planner.

All our expectations were exceedingly surpassed! Everyone at Nordic Visitor, especially our guide, went above and beyond to make our adventure one that will be long remembered.

The tour arrangement and guidance exceeded our expectations.

Our experience with Nordic Visitor could not have been better! We were impressed with Magda and the team there from the very beginning. Every question was answered quickly and thoroughly. Once we arrived, we were very impressed with our visitor packet and all its contents. Each day was outlined, including options for sightseeing and attractions along the way. The lodging they selected exceeded our expectations, and the extras (tours, etc.) that were offered were amazing. We have told so many people about our experience and have recommended Nordic Visitor to them all!

Absolutely fabulous trip. Highly recommend it. Extremely surprised how well everything was coordinated.

The information we received from Nordic Visitor was clear, concise and thorough.

Every part of this trip was perfect! And everything flowed seamlessly, from the pick up at the airport, to the drop off on our way home. Our tour guides, Peter and Carolina, went above and beyond. They really cared about giving us a great experience and their knowledge of the history of Scotland was impressive. We had full days every day, and on top of everything, the weather was great! Can't wait to come back to beautiful Scotland!

We liked how the tour was tailored to our interests and we were able to pick and choose what we wanted to see. All of the recommendations along the way were good. We were also glad that we made dinner & castle reservations ahead of time, as advised by Duncan. Duncan answered all of our questions and gave us some good pointers on how to maximise our tour.

We loved everything about our tour with Nordic Visitor. The accommodation was all wonderful, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced with amazing activities without feeling rushed. We loved the flexibility that having our own car afforded us, while still having a list of activities to do each day. We really feel that the value we got for our money was phenomenal, and have already recommended Nordic Visitor to our friends.

I had to contact the after-hours staff on two separate occasions. The staff members were awesome! On one, I didn't leave a message, and she called me back anyway. We were stranded due to a flat tire and she was able to find us a taxi at midnight. Very grateful for her assistance.

A very well-organised trip with wonderful suggestions. Couldn't fault our experience with Nordic Visitor.

I would definitely use Nordic Visitor again. While travelling we sometimes ran into other travellers also using Nordic Visitor and we all agreed we were very happy with our experience. The accommodation provided was all wonderful, with the exception of one which was too tiny. But most were terrific. Probably what impressed me most was the agency's handling of a situation beyond their control. Once they heard, they made new arrangements. No muss - no fuss - no stress.

My only contact with Magda was via email. She was attentive and answered my questions in a timely manner.

Nordic Visitor was excellent. We particularly enjoyed our guide, Peter. We could not have asked for a better experience.

The best vacation ever!

Everything went so smoothly, from pick-up at the airport to getting the rental car to checking into the accommodation. Planning with Rebecca & the Edinburgh team was easy - questions were always answered quickly. We were also extremely grateful that we were able to check into our first hotel early. Thank you all!

Overall the tour was excellent! I appreciated the advice from the travel agent. This helped me feel very prepared for our trip. Everywhere we stayed was wonderful. The extras, such as the tea at Edinburgh Castle and the Ghostly Underground tour, were great. The recommendations for how to get around in the city and the restaurant guide were great as well. We plan to use Nordic Visitor again in a year or two for a second trip to Scotland and someday for a trip to Iceland.

Our tour encountered a road block on our way to cross the bridge to Skye. The tour guide, Barbara, handled the situation of finding an alternative route to get to Skye safely very calmly and professionally. Tim, our driver, likewise was very professional and calm during this situation. I was very impressed with how he drove the van over some narrow and steep roads to get to the alternate ferry, so we could continue to our accommodation on Skye. It was a long day for both of them but they handled the situation very calmly.

The Nordic Visitor package provided a great plan for our tour, with super guidance and suggestions, along with nice accommodation and cars. All the hassle of figuring out things on our own was eliminated by using Nordic Visitor and their tour planners. Rebecca was excellent in communicating with us and providing everything we needed.

From communicating with Nordic Visitor, booking my trip, arriving at the airport and be welcomed by our driver Paul, each hotel, every meal, our amazing tour guide, Anita, our drivers, Gary and Stevie… everything was so perfect! It was the most magical trip! 

We have always been independent travellers but we needed help with Scotland. It was great to have Nordic Visitor's help. We loved our accommodation.

Our tour began in Edinburgh and made a wide circle through Aberdeen, the Orkney islands and the Hebrides islands. We saw castles, castle ruins, palaces, palace ruins and neolithic archeological digs. We toured galleries, museums, distilleries and beautiful, quaint towns. We saw sheep, hairy "coos" and deer. All of our accommodation was planned for us by Nordic Visitor and always included a breakfast that nearly lasted us all day. Nordic Visitor scheduled our rental car (we drove 1,500 miles in 3 weeks) and pre-booked our ferry passages. All we had to think about was having a good time and the location of our next stop for tea and biscuits. I am certain that we would not have seen this much of Scotland if we had planned our own itinerary. Some of our hosts had not seen what we saw of the countryside. We loved every minute.

Our Scotland tour was super. Andy, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour remarkable. We found Scotland a beautiful country. Skye was our favourite with breathtaking scenery.

Overall, I had a wonderful time on the tour and I was very impressed with all the accommodation. The food was also very good - I appreciated the options, even though it was a limited menu offering. Our guide, Richard, was very knowledgeable. Our driver, Tim, was also wonderful - good driving and knowledgable. 

It was a very good experience. The booklet was so very useful though some of the info needs refreshing. There was good ongoing contact during the trip when the ferries changed.

Magda was great to work with and helped us refine our plans.

We had the best experience on all levels! I highly recommend Nordic Visitor. This was one of the best vacations we have ever had, and we do travel a lot. Typically I like to do all of the planning, but this time I didn't and I was so glad I left it to Nordic Visitor. Very impressed!

All of the accommodation was great. The B&B owners were fantastic.

Rebecca was great to work with. She did an excellent job getting our trip organised.

We did a self drive tour with Nordic Visitor and we were not disappointed. Being able to pick and choose what we wanted to do made our trip special. Travelling through Scotland at our own timeframe allowed us to make our trip ours versus having to follow a group. The itinerary suggestions made by Nordic Visitor were very good. Their overall trip planning was exceptional.

We went on the Scotland Winter World tour for 8 days, and overall it was great. We experienced so much and travelled all over Scotland. The detailed information that was provided upon arrival was amazing. Magda was wonderful and knowledgeable and responded quickly to emails and phone calls.

This is our second trip in two years to Scotland with Nordic Visitor, and we are seriously thinking about another. I can't thank Chris enough for his patience and expertise when booking this trip.

It was so convenient to have the logistics already planned for us. The accommodation was all nice and the suggested outings were perfect.

For a first visit in Scotland, it was peace of mind to have guidance for planning our days, as well as accommodation arranged in different places and additional services like the car rental.

From the very beginning Emily was extremely helpful. The staff laid out a beautiful itinerary that made sense and allowed me to really see more then I could have imagined while in Scotland.

Despite the time difference between the US and Nordic Visitor I found Rebecca to be prompt in responding to my questions. Everything was beautifully presented upon arrival in a bag I found useful while walking around Edinburgh and shopping. Plenty of information for us to enjoy Edinburgh ourselves before heading to the Highlands with our private driver.

For a driving tour, it was a remarkable journey. A way to see the highlights of Scotland that you most likely couldn't see any other way.

The entire experience of booking through Nordic Visitor was flawless. They handled everything necessary for our trip and ensured that the entire process was simple, easy to follow and perfectly laid out. Truly an exceptional trip and experience. The airport transfers were a wonderful option! Each accommodation was unique with its own style and history. Nordic Visitor did a wonderful job scheduling everything and handling all the details.

Our coordinator was amazing. When ferries were cancelled due to weather, Chris rearranged our tour within hours.

This was our second trip with Nordic Visitor and it was as wonderful as the first trip. The information package that they give you at the start of the trip was extremely helpful. The hotels and B&Bs that they booked were amazing. We hope they will expand their trip locations so we can go on more of their trips. They were able to accommodate our request for an extra day at the start of the trip and to end the tour in Glasgow instead of Edinburgh.

The overall tour was more than we could have expected. We both had a wonderful time and enjoyed the places and people we met and interacted with. Our hosts were all so wonderful! And so was the car hire; we were very happy with everything! The only thing we would have changed is the timing of receiving the booking information. We like to try and plan well in advance when travelling and wish we could have had this information sooner. That being said, during the trip we both commented on how we would be happy to go through Nordic Visitor for other trips we plan on taking. You guys really put together a wonderful package. Thank you so much!

Rebecca booked the best accommodation for us for our special elopement trip and added subtle touches that made our trip truly special!

Nordic Visitor took care of every detail and remained true to the description on their website. My personal itinerary was full of recommendations and served as an easy to follow guide. Duncan, my tour specialist, highlighted and made notes on the map, which was very useful! I appreciated that personal attention to detail. My overall experience was extraordinary. I will definitely recommend and will consider my next vacation with Nordic Visitor.

After we had to delay, reschedule and rearrange our honeymoon plans several times due to Covid, we no longer had the energy to go through all the planning ourselves. Nordic Visitor was the best solution we could have hoped for! Rebecca responded to all our questions in a timely and professional manner, ensuring we had peace of mind before and during booking. Nordic Visitor and Rebecca made our travel plans an absolute breeze! Our self-drive tour through Scotland was amazing and our entire trip went very smoothly! We wish we had more hours in a day to explore! We will definitely be using Nordic Visitor in future for other adventures!

Wonderful experience. Would recommend Nordic Visitor to friends and family and would use again

I was on the tour of the Scottish Highlands including Skye and overall was very pleased. Both our guides were warm and knowledgeable about the places they drove us. I appreciated the pre-tour service of Eve, our travel consultant. Although I was accompanied by a friend, we only received one map of Scotland and one itinerary.

Everything about our experience was incredible. Each hotel was lovely and accommodating. Every person we met was kind and helpful! Driving through the Scottish countryside was an adventure my husband and I will cherish forever! Super organized, loved the maps and site recommendations! We would do it again and book with Nordic Visitor again in a heartbeat! Can't wait to go back to Scotland!

Fantastic guide and equally good driver. Both well informed with good sense of humour. As we were the 'oldies' on the trip with some mobility issues, they were always there willing to help.

We had such an amazing holiday! First time booking a self-drive holiday, but we were put at ease with such great organisation and communication from our very own travel consultant. Rebecca was so friendly and helpful. She was quick to respond to any queries on the trip or happy just to give a bit of advice on best places to eat or the best routes to take. It was great knowing she was on hand to help with anything we needed to make our experience the best. All the accommodation was easy to find and well planned out on each step of our journey. Each hotel/B&B was in a great location with easy access to shops and restaurants, we didn't have to drive anywhere on an evening, we could have a walk about to explore the local area. Staff at the small B&Bs were so welcoming, we did feel right at home. The home cooked Scottish breakfasts were delicious, with lots of options each day. The journey was well planned out, the itinerary was amazing! It was great to have a copy sent before our trip so I could do a bit of my own planning and research on what we would like to see. It was good to have suggestions on sights and places of interest to see each day. We managed to see some wonderful places. The highlighted map was really useful to have on hand. A big thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday it was all planned so well. A special thanks to Rebecca for all her help and also planning a little surprise for my boyfriend's birthday! He had a wonderful day. Hope to travel with you again soon. Alice and Jay.

All accommodations were excellent with very friendly hosts. Car rental pickup was very quick and easy and car was excellent. Rebecca was excellent, she took all our requirements and made a personal tour for us. Her attention to detail was excellent.The documents at our first hotel were excellent especially the map with everything marked on for us.

The accommodations mapped out for us were wonderful. All were 3star or higher rated B&Bs and they were all centrally located to attractions and historic landmarks we wanted to see. That fact alone made it really easy for us to walk or drive A short distance to sites or activities we were interested in doing on the trip, which made the experience very enjoyable. Both taxi services hired to pick us up and drop us off from the airport we're amazing as well. The taxi driver picking us up was especially helpful and even gave us a brief driving tour of Edinburgh the first day we arrived.

Our second trip with Nordic Visitor. Recommended friends who went to the Scandinavian countries with Nordic Visitor and they were very satisfied.

All of the hotels had great food and people. Response time was excellent -  Agnes was very attentive. The packets were wonderful, we referred to them constantly. The big map was very helpful as well.

We had a fantastic time and would do it again!

We loved the entire tour. It was all new to us and each day so different it is hard to compare. We have already recommended this tour to several friends who say they are very interested. 

We thought the daily itinerary was very well planned - several stops that were never more than 45 minutes from one another and never too overly ambitious. The recommendations for places to stop for refreshments were also very good. The itinerary also distinguished between the 'must see' and the 'if you have time'. It was obvious that the itineray was prepared by someone who was extremely familiar with the sites. We enjoyed the trip immensely. It was better than we hoped it would be.

The map and itinerary provided with the highlights of places we were visiting was so helpful. 

We have now taken two trips with Nordic Visitor. Three years ago we spent two and a half weeks in Sweden (self-driving) and this self-driving three-week trip to Scotland/Northern England. Both went off without one single problem and were the two most enjoyable trips we have ever taken. Thanks again for assisting us in putting them together.

Again Sarah in Edinburgh was awesome!! Her diligence in the beginning, answering my questions about seeing ancestral sites, and giving me that info right off the bat is what tipped the scales to go with Nordic Visitor. There were other cheaper booking agencies, but I did not get the service or answers I did from Sarah!! She is a Great asset to Nordic Visitor!!

I would like to thank Sarah for her help and for the arrangements. It was a great and very special experience for my family and me. Scotland was even more beautiful than I imagined. We met another couple that did the same tour that we did at the rent car place and they seemed to have a similar great experience. Even with the STORM (after surviving Hurricane Harvey it didn't seem like much), we were able to see and experience all the sites we could make time for. Thank you.

AMAZING. We stayed in hotels we probably would not have booked on our own and the host were fabulous and told us that Annie was a pleasure to work with when booking our stay. All the hotels knew who we were and expected us. When our ferry got cancelled Annie made sure to call the hotel and notify us of a change of plans and gave us a very detailed route and got in contact with our next hotel to notify them that we would be late. We were very impressed!

Sarah my travel advisor was incredible!!! She took a lot of time to help me plan the most exciting vacation I could have ever hoped for!!

This tour was not very good but EXCELLENT!! I would highly recommend it to anyone who asked me. Pete was an awesome tour guide and I can't wait to go back to see the things I missed. Too much to see in only a week. “ This was one of the best trips ever, my husband and I token and I have been all over the world! We both agreed, we would do it again in an instant. Annie handled everything quickly and to my satisfaction. If there was a selection for EXCELLENT, she would have gotten it.

Annie was terrific — very responsive, pleasant to work. In the age of the internet, one sometimes wonders about spending money to have a service book hotels and a rental car, but I was reminded again how terrific Nordic Travel is. I love the highlighted map. We honestly did not prepare ahead of time, but were able to hit the ground running upon arrival because of the materials and itinerary provided. The hotels were terrific. Each one had it's own character and we enjoyed them all. Thank you for wonderful vacation!

The entire trip was exceptional....hotels, breakfast meals were wonderful and the hotel dinners were great........ We were so pleased with our consultant Agne Dobrovolskyte, we called her and she answered our questions, and concerns Without hesitation.......overall a "Fabulous Trip"

Agne was extremely helpful and informative when organising the holiday. All travel documents were emailed to us before we left Australia and hard copies were also waiting for us at our first accommodation in Edinburgh. The fold-out map that had been highlighted with route of the journey was terrific and easy to follow.

Stephen was our guide for the tour and was a huge reason we give the tour high marks. Pleasant, knowledgeable, creative and conscious he found ways to make the sights and their history come alive. He is a great representative for you and for Scotland!

It was our PERFECT honeymoon! Couldn't ask for more. Our traveling package was perfect for our interests and all staff was very attentive and helpful. Overall great service. Thank you so much Nordic Visitor!

Brian has such passion for what he does. Couldn't have asked for more. Annie Pepperell was our travel agent with Nordic Visitor. She did an excellent job all the way around.

Airport transfers were great arrival and departure were perfect. Both drivers were full of information and advise. Wonderful to be meet by wonderful friendly people. We had a hotel and a guest house among our accommodation much preferred the B & B experience. Host at B & B were very welcoming with lots of information on their area.

Annie was just superb to deal with both over the phone and with the internet. She was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. Loved Cocoa Mountain in Durness. We truly enjoyed Orkney Island and also the Islands of Harris and Lewis. Since we punctured a tire, we were grateful to have the insurance package.

Outstanding. Very pleased with the personal touch.

Hotels were all excellent.  Wonderful service at each place.  Couldn't have been happier. This was a stress free trip because of the planning provided by Annie. I was able to review things to do with our kids so they could pick out the things that they wanted to do and see while visiting Scotland. It was nice to have a list of options to pick from.  Every day was great.  I especially loved the map with the highlighted routes, hotels and points of interest.  While filling up the car, I got out to unfold the entire map and flip it over so we could see the upper section of Scotland.  My daughter told me that people were looking at me as I did this.  I told her they had map envy!

I thought the hotels which were chosen were excellent!  I was also very happy with the planned itinerary.  Christoph was excellent.  He was very receptive to questions and always got back to me.  I can't wait to book with Nordic Visitor NEXT summer!

Everything about our trip was perfect. Our guesthouses were exceptional. Absolutely brilliant.  Maria went above and beyond for us. Thank you so much. 

The tour was very well organised and everything went very smoothly. The hire car was excellent (essentially brand new). All of the services provided were of a good standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our Scottish holiday, and many thanks to Christoph for his assistance.

This vacation was our honeymoon. We had just got married in the states a few days prior to the start of our trip. We had the most incredible experience. Everything was just wonderful. Working with our travel agent, Maria, for months prior, could not have been a better experience. She was so helpful, always quick to respond, answered all of my (many!) questions with great detail, and was so friendly. My sister secretly reached out to her to choose a restaurant to treat us to dinner for the last night of our trip, and Maria's suggestion was perfect. I especially loved the folder we received upon arrival that included vouchers for each day. This was helpful to enter in the destination to the car's GPS to help us get around. The spiral bound itinerary/suggestion booklet was really great. Not only did it suggest what to do each day, but it gave you a little history of each item. Since we were on our own most of the trip, these little blurbs of info gave me a nice bit of history, the perfect amount. The section at the end that provided helpful tips on traveling, money, tipping, weather, packing, etc. was awesome. I could not have asked for a better experience at any stage of planning or the trip itself.

The hotels/guesthouses booked were fantastic. The hosts at each location were incredibly welcoming and made our stay wonderful. Our contact at Nordic Visitor, Christoph, was thorough and helpful in accommodating needs for our trip and was a great help in planning the trip. I am thrilled to use Nordic Visitor for my Scandinavian travels. This was our third tour using the company and I can't rave enough about how great the trips have been. I recommend Nordic Visitor to all friends and colleagues interested in traveling to supported countries.

The self-driving tour planned for us was everything I'd hoped, with a wonderful range of destinations and accommodations throughout. In every case, arrangements were what we would have chosen, had we planned this trip ourselves!

All accommodations were excellent! Christoph was excellent to work with. We enjoyed communicating with him! He provided all or more assistance that we requested. Extremely helpful!

Travel consultants were professional and very responsive. The trip was very well organized. Lodging, rental car and activities were fantastic.

Guide was excellent. Very pleasant experience

Our travel consultant set the itinerary up seamlessly. The travel guide and driver were both fantastic. Was a small group and they did their best to keep everybody engaged. Accommodations were comfortable, clean. Meals were great.

This was the perfect tour of Scotland! The itinerary was varied and hit all the highlights. Booking the tour as well as the ground transportation was easy. Our guide Dave and driver John were exceptional. The hotels were all very nice, especially Hame House on Skye. I would highly recommend this tour and Nordic Visitor in general to everyone. We already did a Nordic Visitor tour of Iceland which was great and convinced us to keep using them. Can't wait to book our next trip!

Cannot recommend my tour through the Scottish highlands more highly, made absolutely unforgettable by our incredible guide Dave and driver John. These two men were kind, funny, organised and complete pros, they made every day of the tour run smoothly, made everyone feel comfortable and involved, and gave us unique insights every step of the way which went above and beyond expectations. Thank you Nordic, Dave and John for a truly unforgettable trip!

My husband and I took the 10 day small group tour of Scotland and throughly enjoyed it. We found the tour was very well organised, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and our driver added a definitely 'Scottish' flavour to the tour. We especially liked that we were able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast and board our bus around 9-9:30am. The hotels were four star or better the most part. The meals included were excellent although I would suggest that you ask your guests if they have any diabetic requirements (my husband is diabetic and found the amount of carbs somewhat lacking on several occasions). The pace of the tour allowed for lots of breaks and chances to stretch our legs and thoroughly enjoy the scenery. Have recommended you.

Michelle was so very helpful to us in the leadup to our Scotland trip. She answered each question we had, patiently and promptly. The transport via van was smooth and pleasant. Our driver, Stevie, was safe, professional and friendly. Our trip leader, John, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable, so helpful, so gracious to us. He looked out for us the entire trip and made sure that we were doing well. I could not imagine a different trip leader. I think he doubled the enjoyment we derived from our fantastic Scotland trip. He did an outstanding job.

Our Scotland/Ireland tour was everything we hoped for. Michelle at Nortic was so helpful with everything we needed from planning our perfect trip to making changes along the way when needed.

Dave our guide and John our driver were exceptional. Dave's historical knowledge of the areas is impressive. And the scenery speaks for itself - awesome. Everyone was friendly and the banter in the van was an entertaining aside to the splendid views.

Our Travel advisor , Barbara , was great !She had a vast knowledge of Scotland and was helpful with questions . All the Accommodations and Meal were great .The transportation was wonderful and the drivers were great .I enjoyed the Smaller group where you can get to know your fellow travelers.

Accommodations were fantastic. Your customer service resolving an airline mishap on a holiday weekend was also outstanding.

My daughter and I were highly satisfied with Nordic Visitor in facilitating our trip to Scotland! Our consultant, Lauriane, was helpful throughout the planning process. When we had to make a slight change to the trip, a customer service rep. kindly and thoroughly explained our options. Our accommodations were perfectly lovely, and the suggestions of sites to visit were very helpful. Working with Nordic Visitor took the stress out of organizing our travel abroad, and I highly recommend their services.

I cannot say enough good things about Nordic Visitor. Our Travel Consultant Lauriane was excellent. Her communication,attention to detail,trip planning and customization to our personal preferences was outstanding. Simply the best trip we've ever had all thanks to her. She smoothed any small bumps we had along the way. Thank you for going above and beyond for a very memorable 50 th wedding anniversary trip. We would recommend this company without hesitation !

Nordic Visitor arranged a fantastic tour. The places we stayed were all really convenient with good food and friendly staff.

Great to have the car rental and accommodations taken care of plus have the option to adjust and customize the itinerary as needed. Lauriane answered all our questions and kept us updated as the trip progressed. Pleased with the places we stayed at. All hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Highly recommend using Nordic Visitor.

All of our over night stays were only 2-3 hrs drive from one another. That gave us time to explore every day.

We had a guide by the name of Peter for Scotland. He was very knowledgeable, a good driver and helpful in suggesting places for dinner or things which were not on our itinerary which he thought we might like such as the Falkirk Wheel. In Ireland our Dublin guide ( Tony) and the guide for the rest of the week Pat were also very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to assist us. Aer Lingus broke the lock on my suitcase and Tony went to a hardware store to get me a new one. That's going beyond your everyday guide experience. Our accommodations were all clean and adequate and transportation was very good. We visited a good mix of buildings of interest and outdoor places to view nature.

Very informative travel guide and I was personally pleased that she referenced the Outlander series and Harry Potter movies at many sites. Driver was a true gentleman , courteous and we felt safe with his driving. Great hotels and best meals at the hotel in Skye. Loved the chef's taking time to describe our main course! Another day would have have made it less rushed!

From the first inquiry, to the tour itself, Nordic Visitor has been a joy to work with. The tour itself was well-organized and covered many historic and scenic sites. Our tour guide, Marc, was knowledgeable and fun to work with. Our driver, Tim, shared his knowledge of his homeland, and included tales and personal anecdotes. Our small group was never bored! The bus was very comfortable, and the accommodation each night was lovely. The group size was perfect; we enjoyed all the activities, and our group dinners were made even more fun when Marc and Tim joined us. I would certainly book another tour with Nordic Visitor.

Everything about my experience with Nordic Visitor was positive. From the initial inquiry to get more detailed information about the tour I was interested in, to the booking process and handling by my advisor, Chris, who continued to answer my many questions in the months leading up to travel, to the tour itself. Communications were excellent.Our tour guide ,Dave and our driver John, were top notch. Both went above and beyond throughout the week.The hotels were fairly nice and the food was of good quality.I came away from this trip with a much better understanding and appreciation of Scottish history and culture. Highly recommend.

The self driving tour was excellent. We added some days at the begining and ending of the driving portion of the tour which was beneficial on our part. Our Travel Consultant was pleasant and helpful, the response time was good. Hotels were good, even the ones we didn't upgrade. Really appreciated the Airport shuttle service to & from the airport. The drivers were exceptional. We liked that everything including the tours we took were already booked. Made for smooth sailing for our group. We enjoyed the tour and the service that we received and will book another tour thru your site/company. As an aside: Many of the hotels that we stayed in had positive comments on your company. So that's great for you.Thanks again.

Our travel consultant, Chris, was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Everything on the trip was booked perfectly and we had zero issues in country. The accommodations were very lovely and the activities were perfect. Overall, it was a great experience and we would use Nordic again.

This company is really amazing, I was hesitant about it at first as it was a random google find but I am beyond pleased with them! Magda, our travel consultant was simply amazing and I plan to use her again for future trips. Everything was so simple and easy, I didn't have to worry about a single thing. All of our accommodations were wonderful, clean, amazing my hospitality. All of the activities Magda planned for us were perfect as well. She helped us make our honeymoon so special and I 100% recommend her and this agency to anyone

We used Nordic Visitor to plan our first overseas trip and can't wait to plan our next one! Zachary our travel consultant was patient with all our questions. The hotels were exactly as described with great locations for exploring each area. Nordic booked our car rental as well, providing us with information needed to navigate to each area and things to do along the way.

Customer service was excellent prior to the trip - Duncan responded quickly to any questions. The small group was ideal - easy to get everyone on and off the bus efficiently. Our guide Anita was personable and knowledgeable. We saw a lot and enjoyed varied lodgings.

My travel consultant Magda was excellent and answered all my questions and concerns throughout the booking. Our experience in Scotland was amazing. We had an amazing tour guide Dave and Driver Stevie. The other 12 people we were with were all so nice to travel with. At the end of the 10 days we all said we would miss seeing each other the next day. Overall it was an amazing experience!

Maya, our travel guide was exceptional,so friendly and informative. Amazing knowledge and insights on Scotland.John, our driver was The Man, great to talk to, with plenty of stories about Scotland and most importantly he provided safe transportation throughout.

My mom & I had an AMAZING trip to Scotland thanks to Nordic Visitor! Magdalena was beyond helpful throughout the booking process and was always available to answer questions along the way. Our tour guide (Dave) and driver (Wullie) were fantastic and truly made the trip unforgettable. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time and always had us laughing throughout our journey. Memories were definitely made in Scotland! This is my second time booking with Nordic Visitor and certainly will not be my last! THANK YOU!!!

We've taken a few tours, but this was the first "small" group tour. The tour was more intimate, staying in smaller boutique hotels and eating meals with just our group. We had a bit more flexibility in optional destinations with a smaller group.

This was my first experience with a Nordic Visitor small group tour and I truly enjoyed my tour of Scotland and the people that were on the tour with me. The accommodations, transportation and activities were all really nice, particularly the accommodation and food on the Isle of Skye and we had an excellent driver and tour guide. The itinerary was varied and we visited more sites than one would think possible for the length of the tour. I would recommend this tour. 

Our travel consultant Duncan did an absolutely fantastic job putting together our 10 day visit to Scotland. All our accommodations were great and our tour guide was excellent. I would recommend Nordic to anyone.

We were travelling as a group of 7 including 3 kids and 2 seniors. Nordic Visitor did a great job in all of the planning, and booking, to ensure our trip worked seamlessly despite the complexity of being a bit larger of a group.

The organization was perfect, all went according to plan. The suggestions were good.the only down side was that we might have liked to stay longer in each place so that we had more time to see things. Mostly the hotels were great i would be critical of only one place.

Our Nordic Visitor tour of Scotland was planned meticulously by their representative Duncan. We were amazed by how seamless our driving tour of Scotland turned out. Every hotel and B&B exceeded our expectations. Duncan provided helpful hints and this style of tour allows us the flexibility to spend more time in certain areas when we wanted. In retrospect we wouldn't have changed a thing about our adventure. Thank you Duncan and we look forward to our next tour!

Our consultant Duncan was extremely easy to deal with and promptly answered all my queries by email, including adding a booking I had made to our itinerary. The car and hire went seamlessly. Our upgraded accommodation was fabulous in all locations (the only negative was in Inverness and Fort William the showers were step into baths which could pose a problem for some guests). The bookings for ferries were well timed. We did pre book some activities and restaurants as suggested which was good as it was quite busy especially in Orkney and on Harris & Lewis. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our self drive and would not hesitate in stories Visitor again.

We did the 10 day self -drive Classic Scotland Tour. Words cannot describe the unique beauty of the Highlands and Isle of Skye landscapes! We learned so much about Scotland's history. Our Nordic Visitor consultant Jana was so easy to work with and so knowledgeable in helping us customize our itinerary so we had a nice balance of sightseeing and hiking ( hiking was one of our priorities). Absolutely everything went smoothly with all of our reservations that Jana made for us from the car rental to lodgings and pre-booking attractions. The restaurant guide was also very helpful for booking reservations in advance. We will certainly look to Nordic Visitor for our anticipated trip to Iceland in 2025!

This was our first experience using Nordic Visitor for a three week self-guided tour of Scotland and it was fantastic! The accommodations were top notch and the included breakfast was always amazing. There were several ferry rides as part of our tour and these were also well planned by Nordic Visitor. Our travel consultant Duncan kept us very well informed of our travel arrangements. We will be using Nordic Visitor for our next trip to Iceland in 2026. Highly recommended!

Pete and William are very knowledgeable and explained everything with answers to every question. They also made the trip fun with their wits. We did learn a lot of Scottish culture, history and folk stories. The accommodation exceeded out expectations. Breakfast and dinner were very good with the exception of the dinner at the Best Western in Inverness. Since the coach was not full we had a lot of space which was nice.We met some great people on this trip and we made some new friends which made the trip more enjoyable. We will remember this trip for a long time. 

We were very pleased with our complete Scotland vacation. The information provided before and during our vacation was extremely helpful. We were so glad we decided to use Nordic Visitor. We could not have designed our tour as expertly as they did. The route they provided was perfect and the suggested points of interest were right on. The hard copy map with our route, accommodations and suggested places to see was invaluable. These travel Agents know their stuff! We quickly learned to stick to the route provided. The lodgings were great. There was only one or two accommodations that we wouldn't have chosen for ourselves, but we understand why they were chosen and overall we're very happy.

I worked with a personal travel consultant (Chris) who set up a wonderful trip for my party of six women. He customized a standard route to accommodate an additional overnight. He was professional, responsive, helpful, well-informed, and clear with his communication. Our rental van (Mercedes Vito) was large and comfortable, but not so daunting for the single-track roads we encountered. We were pleased with most of our accommodations - many with surprisingly large rooms and well-apportioned breakfasts. Although we planned our daily schedule on our own, Nordic Visitor provided the structure and handled the hard stuff for us. I would definitely travel with them again.

We chose a 14 day tour to visit the highlands and try some hiking. Isle of Skye was the best for this. There are a fair number of single track roads there but it works well. It was cold and a bit rainy of course and got really hot at the end so you need to pack for all conditions.

It was very good no complaints at all.

I am blown away with how easy and insightful Nordic Visitor was in planning & executing my 14 day self trip to Scotland. It was my lifetime dream. Travel Consultant, Jana, truly went above and beyond for me. I was quite overwhelmed with excitement yet clueless as to how to make the most of my first overseas trip. I was unclear how/where to begin. Jana made all accommodations & reserved car. Even calmed me when I became nervous about driving, advised me on restaurants and experiences, and had a driver there to help upon arrival and departure. I would have missed out on so much had it not been for Jana and her team at Nordic Visitor. I left my heart in Orkney! I could never do it without them. Can't thank her enough. Where to next Jana?

Overall, our trip with Nordic Visitor went very well. Our consultant set up a very doable itinerary and supplied plenty of information and links to help prepare for the trip. Transportation to/from the airport was on time...Accomodations varied from hotels to B+B's. The B+B accommodation in Inverness was small and very cramped with limitedroom to place our luggage... The B+B in Callender was right on the main street with lots of traffic noise. Also, the bed was very uncomfortable. Our driver/guide, Brendan, was wonderful and really helped us enjoy the historic sites and activities.

We did the Wonders of Scotland tour and it was just as advertised and absolutely wonderful. Our guide Allen and driver Brian went way beyond expectations. They were both friendly, accommodating and extremely competent.  The hotels and food were superb without exception. We are seasoned travellers and this Nordic Visitor tour was one of our best experiences. 

Fantastic tour. Our tour guide was well versed in the history of Scotland, and she had a great sense of humor. Our bus driver was courteous and helpful. He was a safe driver and appeared to have a lot of experience driving tour buses. Both the tour guide and bus driver complemented each other well. The tour covered  many of the areas that I wanted to see.

Everyone connected to this experience was very professional....Arnold Clarke Car Rental, B&B owners, accommodations, breakfasts, Ferry services and of course our Nordic Visitor consultants. Everything went to plan and everything we were told to expect happened just as expected. Our documentation, map and guides were very helpful (we now wish the guides were available to us before arrival because they contained more detail than the website). The suggested sites were both helpful and a great representation of Scotland. Overall we were overjoyed with our trip.

Nordic Visitor put together a package that perfectly matched our requirements. Every step of the trip, from the car rental to the hotels went off without a hitch. We would definitely use them again.

Using Nordic Visitor is pushing the "Easy" button. They plan it all. Our travel consultant Magda was reponsive and helpful. From pick up to drop off at the aiport, all things were in order and our accomodations were very nice. Lovely taxi service with drivers Steven and Peter. Motel One was a great place to start our journey and we ended at the Ibis in new town, but it could have easily been in reverse. Everything in Edinburgh is accessible if you walk. Sandra at Arnold Clark car rental was such a help as we braved the idea of driving on the left side. There were too many places to see in our short visit, but we gave it our best shot. The ridiculously large map lined out our route and all sights along the way.

Nordic visitor was very responsive in putting our itinerary together and customised our trip for our requirements. The comfortable accommodation was very well located with easy access to public transport and also centrally located.

This was such a great adventure for us on our 20th! Amazing tours and time to roam around the city on our own! We fell in love with the people and cannot wait to go back!

We enjoyed the tour very much. We would not sign up for any tour package as we found we really just wanted to explore on our own and choose what we did by the weather and how far we had to drive each day. The weather, which did not bother us a bit, did slow us down a time or two! Driving was really quite easy. The map you provided us with was excellent, but barely survived, we taped it up a time or two. The car rental process was easy. We loved all our accommodation. Each was unique and special in its own way. Standouts were the two in Edinburgh. Great locations and breakfasts. Another standout was in Ullapool - cozy and lovely and a fabulous sitting area and views. We truly enjoyed the whole trip. We have already told numerous friends about your services and hope to return someday on another trip. Cheers. Haste ye back!

Nordic Visitor took out the stress and headache of planning a vacation, and with very little effort from us, delivered a wonderful time that we will never forget!

Very well planned. Enjoyed the itinerary and options noted.

The tour was planned out so that we had the flexibility to stop and check out sites related to our interests. We had time to make it to our next accommodation while stopping along the way.

Our trip was absolutely amazing! It was great to be able to leave the more difficult parts of travelling to the experts. We were satisfied with almost all of the places where we had stayed. Our favourite accommodation was The Marmalade Hotel. The facility was beautiful and clean. The staff was super friendly and made our stay even better. One thing to call out about Portree is the lack of places to eat. Not sure how we missed this but we were completely unaware that we needed reservations at any restaurant prior to arriving in Portree. Other than a couple of hiccups, we absolutely loved our trip.

While we apprecciated the possible alternative driving routes highlighted on our map, the length of the driving days for the routes was very long. Anything over 4 to 4 1/2 hours of actual driving time left very little time for anything else that day, i.e., hiking, spending time in small towns, visiting museum, castles or other places of interest, stopping for lunch or afternoon tea or coffee, etc. Our suggestion would be to add a couple of more days to shorten the daily driving distances and times to make the overall tour less hurried and more enjoyable.

Great customer service from Rebecca (thank you Rebecca!) including immediate and helpful replies to emails/questions, super easy to use website, easy to book the trip, everything delivered exactly as represented, service providers (car service, rental car, ferries, accommodation) all were great and had our bookings and were expecting us with no issues at all. When one ferry crossing was cancelled due to bad weather we did not even know it had happened yet, but got a call and email from Nordic Visitor rep right away, and your team had already re-booked us on next ferry that was running. Now that is great customer care! We will absolutely use Nordic Visitor for future trips - we just wish you did trips in even more countries!

This has been our second vacation with Nordic Visitor. Iceland and now Scotland. Our experience was excellent! Thank you for your wonderful planning and your guide book.

Having never travelled internationally before, Nordic Visitor put my mind at ease. They answered every question I had and then some. The tour was very thoughtfully planned with adequate time to do the things they recommended or add our own things. Magdalena was awesome and everything went very smoothly! We would definitely book with Nordic Visitor again. Thanks so much!

Kirsten did an amazing job at booking accommodation and preparing our tour. We look forward to booking another tour through Nordic Visitor in the future.

It was an unforgettable holiday. They took care of everything, and we got to wonder and explore with little hassle. If you want to visit Scotland (or anywhere else Nordic Visitor has tours) they are the way to do it. Already talking about our next adventure with Nordic Visitor.

The organisation done for us was impeccable. Everything was booked and prepared for us without a hitch. We knew we would be using ferries to hop from island to island, and the tour itinerary was very helpful to make sure we got where we needed to be, when we needed to.

Loved our self-driving tour though Scotland - highly highly recommend and will definitely use again! One recommendation - it would have been helpful to get the restaurant guide before hand - as some of the smaller towns had limited availability. Overall, a seamless trip - especially with the stays - very easy to walk in and not have to fill out forms - other than what we wanted for breakfast, which was delicious everywhere we went! The Inns and B&Bs were fantastic - and the hosts - fabulous!! Also, really appreciated the quick re-booking when one of our inns was unavailable due to the innkeeper's illness - we got relocated (and I think upgraded) - again - seamless and worry-free. I have been raving about Nordic Visitor to my friends and family and will travel again with your group!

We selected Nordic after interviewing several companies and are generally very pleased with the service received. We appreciated their help in customising our trip and providing information.

Our guide was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the places we visited. He kept me and my brother both interested and entertained. Tour guide Dan was appropriately concerned about my safety as I use a cane and have some balance issues. However, he accepted my assurance that I could navigate the paths and I appreciated that respect. Requests at hotels (for non-slip bath mats and extra blankets) were always fulfilled without difficulty. 

Edinburgh to Glasgow via Isle of Skye. Scenery amazing. Bus comfortable and skilfully driven. Guide friendly, fairly knowledgeable, if a bit verbose. Had some good jokes. At other times, perhaps less commentary would have been more. When the rare organisation glitch occurred, she really shone: sorting out quickly, finding good alternatives to items suddenly not available, and such like. Enjoyed the tour. Learned some new things. 

On reflection, we would choose a tour with perhaps fewer stops, but with more opportunity for informed individual exploration. Will keep an eye on Nordic Visitor site, as found it an excellent provider.  

Nordic Visitor created the perfect Scotland itinerary with the perfect guide, driver, accommodation and overall experiences. Highly recommend, 5/5!

Excellent tour. Friendly guide, bus driver and other customers on tour.

Despite our limited mobility, Nordic Visitor created a wonderful experience for us.

The service provided by Magda and the Nordic Visitor team was nothing short of amazing. We could not find this level of service within our own country. We were able to pick a package and then customise to suit our wants and needs with no trouble at all. Magda was very accommodating in last-minute arrangements. Absolutely blown away by how smooth a 20+ day road trip with daily accommodation changes and ferries to 4 isles came together.

We had a great experience with Nordic Visitor. Magda was communicative and made everything very easy. All our accommodation, tours/excursions, and suggested itinerary items were excellent. They even included a huge map and highlighted the best routes with handwritten notes and recommendations on it for our self-drive tour. It was such a wonderful touch. We booked this trip as a birthday present for my husband and Magda even had a birthday card waiting for him at our first stop. I would (and already have) been raving about Nordic Visitor to our family and friends. We will definitely book with them again.

We had a few hiccups in our travel one being lost luggage. Chris from Nordic Visitor was extremely helpful in adjusting our schedule. Amazing trip otherwise. It was exactly the sort of experience we were looking for.

We had the best time on this tour. We were a little concerned prior to the trip about the roads and driving but with all the guidance we received and the warnings, we found it very easy to work out the passing bays, etc along the way. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and appreciated the highlights given in the package.

We did the 10-day Scotland tour and everything was amazing. So many memories, we loved the flexibility of driving ourselves and appreciated having the tips from the itinerary to help guide us. All the accommodation were excellent and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough about this tour!

Everything was made so easy for us. We just had to show up and decide what we wanted to do. We appreciated the personalised tour itinerary. We had a wonderful time thanks to the thoughtful planning of Nordic Visitor.

Nordic Visitor is a terrific programme. I would've benefitted from these experiences when I was younger. Not sure if we'll do another self-drive experience. I'm getting to the age where it becomes more challenging to deal with the stress of travel.

All in all we were very pleased with our trip. We would definitely use Nordic Visitor again.

We thoroughly enjoyed touring Scotland especially the Isle of Skye. The selection of items of interest was wide ranging and we really could have used more time...maybe next time.

It was amazing. The scenery was spectacular. I want to move to Scotland!

Great arrangements and routing.

The booking process was clear and swift and the hotels chosen were amazing!

You guys were amazing. Everything was well thought out, and organised. Each hotel or B&B was wonderful, all hosts were warm and welcoming, and every breakfast was outstanding. Whenever I had a question, Duncan responded quickly. I would absolutly use you again!

Our tour was beyond our expectations. It was well-organised and our tour guide, Will, was excellent! He was outgoing, knowledgeable, friendly, and made our tour one to remember! All accommodation was fantastic, clean, neat and very well kept. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish!

We found the tour with Nordic Visitor excellent. It was well-organised and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We would highly recommend Nordic Visitor.

This is the second time that I have travelled with Nordic Visitor and I recommend them highly. Our tour guide was the most helpful, knowledgeable and humorous guide I have ever had.

It was an amazing trip! My husband and I took the Highlights of Scotland tour in July and had a wonderful time! Our tour guide, Andy, was amazing. His knowledge of Scotland was top notch and kept us informed throughout the entire tour. Andy educated us on Scotland history, shared delightful stories and enlightened us with Scottish culture. The accommodation were all so nice. Each one a bit different, but comfortable and lovely. Each place had helpful and respectful staff. Our bus was very comfortable, lots of room and great windows for the amazing views of Scottish scenery. The drivers were great. So glad they were driving us around the country.

Wonderful time, the beautiful scenery was spectacular. The hotel on the Isle of Skye was not the best. The driver Tim and tour guide Nick were great! Very funny and went out of their way to give us a great experience! Would love to see an Outlander tour of Scotland. 

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour of the Wonders of Scotland. Our tour guide and driver were exceptional in their roles regarding knowledge, safety and humorous dispositions. We had a wonderful group who travelled with us and will be our forever travel mates. The tour was excellent, with a good mix of the country's history, beauty and feel of local flavors to experience. Accommodation was great too!

Holly was a fun and friendly tour guide!

Our airport transfer was absolutely incredible and we loved all of our tours. We had two accommodation choices that were less than stellar, but that didn't put a dampner on our trip. This was my 2nd Nordic Visitor vacation, and you really make it so easy! We had a great time and will continue to use Nordic Visitor in our future travels.

Our rep, Chris, was fantastic, very helpful and responsive to questions. He was great to work with.

As first-time visitors to Edinburgh, and senior citizens, our choice to use Nordic Visitor was an excellent one. The welcome package we received at the hotel was really helpful, with our tour vouchers, maps and restaurant recommendations. We would not have known what hotel to select and the one selected for us was perfect. The choice of tours offered was perfect for a 5-day visit. So glad to learn about the Royal Mile and visit the castle. The trip through the Highlands and Loch Ness was beautiful. Our travel agent, Rebecca, always quickly responded to email questions prior to departure. Thank you! Nordic Visitor made our trip easy and rewarding. We were in good hands.

We made many wonderful memories with our family! The views and service at all the accommodation were wonderful.

Nordic Visitor provided the service we wanted: a comprehensive tour of the Scottish islands. All the arrangements were spot on - ferries and accommodation. Everything went to plan, other than the last night when the accommodation would not accept the voucher. This was quickly dealt with on our return home and the money reimbursed.

We did a self-drive tour including the Orkney islands. The entire process from booking to flying home was seamless. Our accommodation was all amazing, especially the B&Bs. Our daily itineraries were great starting points for activities, and none of our days felt rushed or slow. We also appreciated the restaurant and travel guides. Scotland is amazing, and Nordic Visitor made the entire vacation worry-free.

It was very easy working with Nordic Visitor. Most of the B&Bs we stayed at we probably never would have found ourselves. It was great, especially since some were only one-night stays. All accommodation and hosts were great. We would probably stay at all again, except for one. The road map provided was great! Loved the highlighted route & the highlighted points of interest. Having each accommodation location noted on the map was helpful. We'll be keeping the map as a souvenir to show friends & family!

My son and I were guided across Scotland by folks who live there. The itinerary was just what we needed. We covered more territory in ten days, saw several sites per day, and did much more than we might have planned by ourselves. From the friendly folks at the car rental, to the sailors on the ferries, back to the last cab driver in Edinburgh, we were treated so well and in such a friendly manner that we would go again in a heartbeat!

Overall, the trip was wonderful. We really enjoyed the guide with optional places to stop, thought the hotels were nice, and had no trouble with the rental car.

Scotland was a fabulous experience. Everyone we met was so polite and accommodating. The guest house hosts were lovely.

Our private tour guide, Pete, was phenomenal, and all of our accommodation was great! My husband is disabled and Nordic Visitor took every needed step to ensure our B&Bs could take care of his needs.

We felt like we were the only clients they had - first-rate in every way.

We were overall pleased with the tour. It being our first visit to Scotland, it made the trip much easier to handle. Rebecca was very helpful and prompt with answering questions.

Overall it was very good. However, the itinerary was a bit too optimistic for the time allotted. Being from Canada we are accustomed to driving long hours to reach destinations. However, we were driving for many hours and due to road conditions not going far. I suggest adding additional days to the tour.

We found all of the information given so helpful to plan our days. We stopped at many of the suggested locations and loved all of them. So many hidden gems we wouldn't have otherwise seen or experienced.

Travelling with Nordic Visitor made our trip stress-free and seamless. We enjoyed all the parts of our trip and appreciated our guide's suggestions for little added adventures along the way. We felt like we fit so much into just one week.

Enjoyable touring, taking in most places of interest. Car was smaller than expected.

This was the trip of a lifetime and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

For our 50th wedding anniversary, we trusted Nordic Visitor to make our vacation a memorable one, and they made it beyond special. Chris, our tour planner, did everything to accommodate our needs and answered our questions quickly. It was an absolutely perfect vacation!

Chris was on top of everything, making changes at the last minute when the ferry fire occurred.

So many wonderful memories of our tour were because of the exceptional service provided by Dave, our private tour guide. His knowledge was exceptional and we felt very welcomed by him. We all felt as if we were leaving a friend at the end of our tour. He greatly exceeded all of our expectations!

Rebecca was an outstanding consultant. She went to so much trouble to make everything we requested work.

Our experience was great, from prior to booking on through to the actual tour. Duncan took care of all of our questions and added an Underground Vaults tour for us at time of booking. We received all of our details in an email prior to trip, and a welcome bag was waiting at our hotel upon arrival with everything we needed. It was an awesome private tour that my husband and I will remember always. Our tour guide, Pete, was awesome and took very good care of us along the way until we finished the tour and were taken back to Edinburgh. He was like a member of our family by the time the tour was over and we hated to say goodbye to him. We thank Nordic Visitor, Duncan and Pete for memories we will never forget.

There was a mix up about beds at our Skye location, but it was resolved and we were satisfied.

Chris was excellent to work with. Car rental was good and upgraded us to a Mercedes. All the castles were amazing! We booked our times ahead.

We were very pleased with the car rental and the quality of the accommodation.

I would highly recommend using Nordic Visitor for a self-drive trip. Eve made planning our trip to Scotland easy, enjoyable and stress free by booking all of our hotels, cars, airport transfers and ferries. The suggested itineraries, restaurant guide, travel tips and highlighted road map that Nordic Visitor provided were awesome and well-used. All information was well-organised and presented to us upon our arrival at the first hotel. We had a wonderful and hassle-free time in Scotland thanks to Nordic Visitor.

Overall, this was an amazing trip and I would recommend it to friends and family. The combination of our tour guide and driver made this extra special! Our guide was also very accommodating to the visitors and made it possible for us to see Dunvegan Castle (at our own expense as it was not on the itinerary). The hotels and meals were great for the group and provided a nice, overall, Scottish experience. I loved the fact that we did not spend much time in the city and spent our time in the open countryside.  

We had a great time for 10 days in Scotland. Driving on the left side of the road was scary at first but then we mastered it. When we had questions, Duncan, our travel consultant, was a phone call away. Will definitely use Nordic Visitor again. Having everything planned out for us, hotels and routes, was very easy with the vouchers.

Everything was well planned and all my questions before the trip were handled quickly.

From our first contact with Nordic Visitor, the whole experience was a delight. Duncan, our travel consultant, was easy to reach and very responsive to answer questions and to provide any information we needed. I had not booked a tour online before, but was very surprised and grateful at how professional the team was and how easy they made it.  

They even helped us book a couple of extra days at the beginning of our trip so that we could get over jet lag and explore Edinburgh more. The notes and maps and individualised itinerary they sent us made the trip a delight.  

Once we started the tour, our guide, Andy, was spectacular. He was very knowledgeable about history, locations and events. He also was very entertaining, charming and funny. After the tour, he provided the group with a playlist of the music we listened to while travelling, recommended books and movies about Scottish history. We are already recommending Nordic Visitor to everyone we know who wants to travel to Scotland. In our small tour group, some of the folks had used Nordic Visitor in the past and had such a great experience they were using them again. We will be doing the same. It was a trip of a lifetime and went way beyond our hopes or expectations for what we saw and were able to experience.

Well-organised. Nordic Visitor answered any queries we had.

From the moment we landed in Scotland, I felt comfortable and taken care of. Brenda was exceptional at her job and made the whole trip magical. I have already recommended your company to others.

I loved that the option for a self-guided tour was there, but we could also customise things. We didn't have to follow the timeline of anyone else and could explore what/when we wanted, while having guidance and recommendations from experts.

We appreciated having so many of the details sorted ahead of time for us. I love planning vacations, but for one with many stops like this, it was helpful to just know where we were staying, and not hassle myself. Also, we loved learning how much the B&B owners enjoy working with Nordic Visitor! Knowing that they were also having a great experience was reassuring.

Awesome experience, superior service and well-planned adventure. I have only good things to say about our driving tour through Nordic Visitor. I definitely would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a perfectly planned visit to Scotland.

We told Magda what we wanted to see and do, and she took care of everything. She did a great job coordinating our ferry transfers, including contacting me during the tour to tell me about a change. Accommodation was all perfect.

Nordic Visitor are experienced and professional tour providers who add a lot of value because they understand local conditions and transport issues, and also have a network of good accommodation suppliers.

Made my trip so much easier! Everything was taken care of and I did not have to worry about a thing! Very professional service!

Our trip was absolutely wonderful! Magda was great to work with and helped us through the whole process. Everyone we worked with from the beginning through the end of the trip was absolutely marvellous.

I was a solo traveller, not expecting at all to have as much fun as I did. The hosts at the accommodation were extremely friendly and the daily itineraries were very detailed so that one could choose what I preferred. More information (or GPS locations) for the hikes would probably be useful as it took always a bit to find the right location to start the walks. Everything went very well and hosts at the accommodation were fantastic.

My mother and I had a wonderful time together driving around Scotland. Everywhere we stayed was very comfortable and clean and friendly.

This is our second time using Nordic Visitor. Both times, in diferent countries, my wife and I had an excellent experience and vacations. I've never needed to call or email Nordic Visitor for an issue during my tour, but they will contact you to see if you need anything, which shows they care. Very smooth process and reliable staff that will make your vacations a dream. I will definitely use them again, and 100% recommend. Thank you!

Loved our trip! I had never travelled abroad and this was absolutely the best way to do so. Extremely easy to understand what the tour would include and what to expect. Beautiful accommodation with local recommendations, great vegetarian options. When there was an issue with our check-in at our last hotel, it was handled swiftly with minimal impact, very professional staff. We felt safe everywhere we went, our tour guide was phenomenal and we saw such incredible sights. This tour was a great way to see as much as the country as we could in the time we had, and I would not hesitate to book again!

We were very impressed with the thoroughness of the materials provided, the quality of the lodging, the detailed itinerary/map, and the overall scope of the trip. We always felt ourselves to be in very good hands! Working with Nordic Visitor made the trip essentially worry-free and we could put all our energy into enjoying ourselves. We particularly liked that we could make modifications to the tour, adding an extra day here and there. Our trip to Scotland was absolutely wonderful and we have Nordic Visitor to thank for this.

I have used your service for an Iceland tour before with friends. This time it was for solo travel. I wanted to feel safe and have someone there to help me in case of emergency. Last but not least I wanted things to be planned in a new country that I might have spent hours but still could not have come up with, details that you guys have provided. I am extremely happy and I might join another tour with you all soon.

We did an extended version of the "Grand Tour of Scotland". It was all we hoped for and everything went as smoothly as silk. All connections were accurate. Every accommodation was expecting us. All the people were wonderful. This was our first trip with a tour company. We usually make these plans ourselves but felt overwhelmed planning for a three-week trip. Nordic Visitor really helped us. We felt a high degree of personal attention to our questions and needs. The staff answered all of our questions during the process of developing the itinerary. We felt as though the staff had first hand experience with all the sites we intended to visit and shared their experiences. We communicated with Nordic Visitor entirely by email. Most replies to email required at least two days, however, the replies were always courteous and thorough and friendly and helpful.

We worked with Chris nine months prior to the trip. He made the process easy and returned emails in a timely manner. Everything he said would be provided was as he said. I highly recommend your company! The accommodations were wonderful, we loved everything! Excellent experience. The car was ready at the rental company, the car was excellent quality. The museum/castle pass worked well and was handy.

First time we have used this type of service for a holiday. Very pleased with the package and overall experience. The area covered by the tour was stunningly beautiful and is a must for everyone's bucket list!

We prefer a more leisurely pace so we added 4 days to the original tour so we could spend more time exploring instead of driving and packing up. Nordic Visitor took the hassle out of arranging accommodation and car rental.

Great experience! Everything was planned and organised for us, hotels, hire car, breakfast, daily itinerary choices, etc. It was relaxing knowing we didn't have to do anything but drive!

Our guide did a fantastic job finding smaller stops that met our interests as a group when time allowed. We spent quite a bit of time travelling in the van to reach our destinations each day but the places we visited were worth the trip for me. Beautiful country and kind, gracious people.

We booked our tour of Scotland with Nordic Visitor based on a past experience on a tour in Iceland. We loved both of them. The itinerary was well planned and covered a lot of different parts of the country. Guides were well informed and lots of fun. Our hotels were top-notch. Going on a small group tour was much better than trying to do the drive ourselves. We could relax and enjoy the scenery, something we could not have done if we had to concentrate on driving.

Rebecca was a great help, providing tons of information and help before and during our trip. This survey comes a little over a year after my first trip, and I have booked another trip with Rebecca because how awesome she was the first time!

My friend and I had a great time. We chose this tour with Nordic Visitor as it met our qualifications with length, places visited and size of travel group.

First class.

This is our second time using Nordic Visitor.

Our honeymoon exceeded our expectations not only because Scotland's natural beauty, but in large part to the amazing planning and service we received from our travel agent, Annie! She was so helpful and provided very quick and agile responses to every question we had. And during our trip she even had to make a last minute accommodation change for us on Islay, as our original B&B cancelled on our stay a couple nights in advance. She made arrangements for us at another hotel all within the same day. And on top of that Christoph also helped to set up a distillery tour for us when we arrived at Islay. Those are only a couple small examples of what amazing service and planning that Annie and her team gave us. I can't sing Annie's praises enough, she was a gem to work with.

Every accommodation was stunning! We were met with enthusiasm and kindness and courtesy. I cannot say enough about our trip and the way it was set up and the accommodations. Everything was spot on and it was the trip of a lifetime for my sister and I. We already have friends who have booked a trip through Nordic as well. I am seriously considering another trip to Scotland next year and using Nordic for sure.

Excellent and exciting adventure.

All accommodations were fantastic in both Scotland and Iceland. Car rentals pickup and drop off were great. Loved the Audi A5 Sport in Scotland. Transfers from Glasgow airport and Keflavik airport were very professional. Ferry crossing was very nice. My wife and I are very impressed with our Scotland and Iceland vacation and will definitely be booking through Nordic Visitor for our future trips.  

I just loved the scenery and history of Scotland but Rob made the tour. Also it was lovely being in such a small group and travelling in a smaller vehicle with very friendly people. Staying in the beautiful historic places, especially the last hotel were also very special.

Seeing things through the eyes of a Scot who passionately loves his county and history.

We have never had so a well organized and stress free trip. This truly was a wonderful vacation and exceeded our expectations.

Our entire trip included two weeks in Scotland and two weeks in Europe. During our travels we raved about Nordic Visitor and how professional, organised and helpful you are. It was so well organised and every little detail was covered so we could relax and enjoy our holiday without any concerns. I am really really impressed and would recommend your company (and Annie) without hesitation!

Our agent, Agne, did a wonderful job dealing with us. All questions were answered and her trip planning resulted in one of our most enjoyable and worry free travel experiences.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with Nordic on their "Scottish Highlands and the Isles" tour. It was everything we could have imagined and more. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the best of Scotland with the best tour agency.

We just returned last night from our trip to Scotland and I wanted to let you know what a great trip we had with Nordic Visitor. You were wonderful setting up our requests and I cannot thank you enough for switching our tour dates when we were unable to go as originally planned in May. The hotels and food were brilliant. Brian was magnificent. We could not ask for more of a guide. Even the special trip to see Highland coos. This was our second Nordic Visitor trip and we are now looking into our 3rd for next year. Thank you again for great memories. I am glad we were able to meet you on our first night.

I was a little bit worried about using an online tour company I had never heard about but Nordic Visitor blew away any fears right from the start. Christoph made me feel like he would take care of everything and he did!!! We couldn't have asked for a better family holiday in Scotland!! Christoph was fabulous at getting back in touch when I emailed him. I never had to wait more than a day even with the time difference to the U.S. The accommodations were fantastic! Our hosts made us feel right at home and the accommodations were comfortable.

Very good experience. Annie was very good at answering questions and getting everything we wanted. She did a great job.

We really like the tour packages you provide. We have now completed 2 tours with you and at present we are in Iceland on your Iceland Complete Tour. We may do the Lake District in England with you in the future.

We were very impressed with our trip. I will definitely be using the company again. I would also like to thank Christoph again for arranging everything, and also meeting with us and helping us fix the mess we got ourselves into. He was absolutely wonderful to deal with and I hope he gets a raise.

I was very impressed with the ease of use and professionalism of Nordic Visitor right from the initial website browsing through online booking, tour confirmation, payment and final documentation. Service from our Travel Consultant (Sarah) was top class and personalized. The guidance given on sites of interest was well researched and fully comprehensive. The whole experience was a pleasure. Well done.

We had a wonderful time on our private tour with Brian. He is an exceptional guide. He shared an extensive knowledge of Scotland, and made the country come alive. We saw more with him than we would have on our own, and we felt that he catered the tour to make sure that we saw what we wanted to see. We couldn't have been more pleased! The folks with Nordic were exceptional over all, and we look forward to booking another tour with your company in the future.

Everything was excellent and very professional. Particularly impressed with professionalism of staff and quality of documentation. Felt confident that Nordic Visitor was the correct choice.

Overall, our experience with Nordic Visitor was absolutely wonderful. Christoph Glauche went over and above in his efforts to answer all of my questions and provided me with websites and other suggestions to help me plan the tour that was best for us. We stopped by the office in Edinburgh to meet him since I had corresponded with him for months. He was just as sweet and helpful in person.

"Very Good" comes short of describing my trip! This was probably my top, most favorite trip every and I travel a lot. The B&Bs and hotels were excellent and I chose the standard. My itinerary was well planned making it so easy to just enjoy everything. The detailed guide book also was a great help in offering suggestions of thing not to miss. My deepest appreciation to Annie not only for planning this outstanding trip, but also her "above and beyond" service dealing with my luggage which the airline had lost.

Seldom do you find something where you feel that you received more value for your hard earned money  than what you spent. Nordic Visitor delivered a near perfect experience at what we consider to be a most reasonable cost. Extensive travel plans including a larger, weather proof map of Scotland, were waiting for us in our hotel along with a personal note from Maria along with her phone number. Communications was excellent throughout our experience. Maria was extremely patient and provided us some very specific options. We own sheep dogs and wanted to see a sheep dog demonstration. No problem! Within 20 minutes, we had the information and directions to a working sheep farm. Perfect.

It was so great to have suggestions along the route! And we really appreciated how stress free the whole process was. It can be overwhelming traveling in another country, and this was just perfect.

We couldn't have asked for a better organized self drive tour. Fully detailed, easily understood, and very clearly written. It left us feeling confident and happy to be able to relax knowing it was so well organized. Loved every minute of our time in Scotland.

From first visit to website through planning, the experience and results were world class.

We loved everything! Very good quality.

The overall experience exceeded our expectations. We loved the attention to detail.  Annie obviously understood what type of planning we wanted. We were able to be spontaneous if we saw something that we wanted to include.  Many of the owners of accommodations told us how happy they were to be working with Nordic Visitors.  The travel guide was sturdy, survived the trip in one piece, even served as a plate for our lunches eaten in the car as we would return from a walk.  We took scotch tape along to mend the map, it's pretty big to handle in the car.  And a highlighter to add stops and reminders to help us when we start putting our pictures together.  But, the travel guide will be the most helpful when it comes to putting our travel album together.  

The places we stayed at were so very nice.  I don't know how we would rank them.  The owners were so very nice and helpful.  Giving us directions and making recommendations on dinners and even making reservations for us.  The locations of the accommodations were usually within walking distance of village centers.  Picking up our rental car was speedy and well organized.  A new car was ready for us and they took the time to go over key points of the car.

Thank you for being there through all of our questions in preparation for our trip and for organizing such lovely documentation providing us with plenty of options to do on our tour around Scotland.

Tour director Brian was amazing! He made the trip fun & educational. 

Brian provided us daily bonus stops in addition to the planned itinerary. I loved that we didn't hit all the usual crowded tourists stops! 

We thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed our guide's knowledge and expertise. Brian was extremely informative, patient, and entertaining. He was very considerate of the fact that we were 2 active but older women. He was also very kind to other travellers who realized he was a guide and would stop him to ask advice. Although this was to be my only trip to Scotland, thanks to his influence and fascinating instruction on the Highlands and Highlanders, I know I need to see more. I would let Nordic Visitor give more advice on the tour must sees. We met with the Edinburgh office staff - Maria, Anna, and Kris - after our tour was done, again Brian going above and beyond to bring us to meet them, days after our tour was over. I cannot say enough good things about all the help they gave us.

Magda did an excellent job! Everything was taken care of without a problem as soon as we arrived and all accomodations were first class. Every B&B host was ready for our arrival and so was the hotel. The packet had a great map of the country with everything we wanted to see highlighted and all overnight stops located on the map. There was never a hitch!

Very well organized , your guide and driver made the trip interesting and fun. When weather didn't cooperate driver and guide made changes in our itinerary saving the day.

Great guide and driver both were so knowledgeable of history, sites, people, lots of surprises. The tour is extensive- and go go every day- Hard to factor in some down time because there is so much to see in Scotland. Bus could have been a tad larger to give a bit more space. Really appreciate and respect the "no discussing politics" request at the onset- served everyone well. Hotels chosen were amazing- as were the meals - with honorable mention to Hame Hotel on Isle of Skye. We loved every minute of this tour- Our guide Barry really does deserve special mention- he went out of his way to accommodate everyone/threw in delicious surprises, and special stops…. LOVE HIM.

From start to finish you have a knowledgeable guide, who lets you know where you are, the local history and places that have favourable visitor reports. Accommodations are great, actually there is very little to be concerned about.

Great variety of sights viewed, both well-known and less so, with interesting and varied accommodations and very knowledgeable tour guide, all in a small group setting. Just what we were looking for…

Our Nordic Visitor consultant, Chris, did a wonderful job sending us updates throughout the year and answered all of our questions. This was our first group tour and we chose the tour among other reasons for the small number of participants.

Love Nordic visitor! This was our second trip with them, and this trip was just as good as first one everything from booking until end of tour was top notch!

Michelle was our consultant. She did a fabulous job! She responded quickly with any questions and was always willing to help! Our accommodations were great and hosts were all lovely. As we were on a self driving tour our activities were up to us but as always, Michelle helped book when needed. We were very very pleased with our trip to Scotland and Ireland. We have and will continue to suggest Nordic Visitor to anyone we can.

Duncan was superb in helping us plan/coordinate our overseas trip to Scotland. His team's attention to detail took all the worry out of the trip. Having Dave guide and John drive our awesome comfortable deluxe van around Scotland was perfect. I didn't care for the backwards facing seats or the crowded back seat, but we rotated around as a group each day to make it comfortable for everyone. The accommodations each night (especially Isle of Skye) and delicious meals were superb. There definitely a variety of experiences. I would have loved even more hiking, but that's another trip. My husband and I would definitely recommend Nordic Visitor to any of our family and friends.

Our tour of Scotland was amazing. Driver "John" and tour guide/host "Dave" we exceptional. I cannot imagine a better tour experience. The navigation, knowledge and expertise allowed us as travelers to relax and immerse ourselves in the countryside.

I used NV for an Iceland trip and loved everything about it so I had to use them again for Scotland and Ireland. Once again, NV delivered. Hotel accommodations, auto reservations, itinerary suggestions, and their customer service was amazing. I tell everyone about the great experience

Excellent organisation which made our self-drive so easy. Great information pack & map. Really nice comfortable accommodation. Thank you so much Lauriane.

The service provided by Chris was outstanding. Thee pre-tour communications were great, as they gave us time to plan our daily activities prior to our arrival. Chris was quick to respond to our questions, and his responses were complete and very helpful. That included communications while we were in Scotland. The vehicle was just right for us. The nightly accomodations were varied and all were very ennjoyable - especially the private homes. The activities defined were all enjoyable, but personally, I could have done without the two scotch tastings - something my kids apparently enjoyed.

We absolutely loved our trip - Nordic Visitor made it stress free by having everything booked for us! The itinerary helped us experience as much as possible during our trip and we enjoyed every minute. Having our travel agent available to us for any questions during our trip was also super helpful. We will use again!

Everything was well organized.The tips on where to eat, what to book ahead and where to go were very helpful. In some places the standard tour was a little rushed so suggesting optional extra nights would have been useful. In our case an extra night between Inverness and Orkney would have been great.

Great trip!! Our guide was amazing. He quickly homed in on our interests and tailored the trip accordingly. The accommodations were great - clean, comfortable, and cozy. The only thing I would do differently is either make the trip longer, or cover fewer places. Scotland is beautiful and there is just so much to see and do. It's hard to see it all in the time we had.

Our driver was outstanding. Knowledgeable and so accommodating. Hotels were excellent but more choices of in town or outside would be nice.

Personal Consultant was spot on with what we were looking to have for accommodations. Car Rental was very helpful when we needed additional assistance. Hotel Choices were wonderful along with 'things to do & see' suggestions were wonderful as well.

We took the Wonders of Scotland Tour 7days/6nights.Our travel consultant , Laurie provided necessary information and answered questions promptly. The tour itself visited many of the beautiful spots in Scotland. Our tour guide Barbara and driver John were excellent. Provided a fun and meaningful tour. The tour was busy, but as described in the itinerary. Our vehicle was very comfortable , clean, and new.Overall I found the accommodations to be very good. Meals provided were good. Meals at Hame on Sky were amazing. This is my second tour with Nordic and I was not disappointed. We added additional days in Edinburgh and Glasgow which I strongly recommend.

Very professional, our tour guide was fabulous as was our driver. We made several stops each day to various sites, some noted in the itinerary and some not. The mini bus we had was very comfortable for travel. We always had a group breakfast and dinner which allowed us to get to know our fellow travelers better. There were always three choices (meat, fish, vegetarian) for dinner and meals were all very good. Breakfasts were either buffet or a selection from the breakfast menu. We had full days leaving our hotel at 9, and usually back between 5:30 and 6:00, leaving some time to freshen up before 7:00 dinner.

I very much enjoyed our tour of Scotland and Ireland. The tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. The van was comfortable. I appreciated being in a smaller group than other tours I have been on. The accommodations were top notch overall

My wife and I started to organise our Scotland and Ireland tour ourselves, however in the end decided to go with Nordic, and were glad we did. Our tour consultant Jana was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, we were able to customise our tour easily and, when we had a slight issue mid tour, our consultant fixed the problem and provided an accommodation upgrade for a couple of nights. Hotels (we had the comfort level) were good, as were the hire cars etc. The information package provided, including detailed itinerary notes, map and all the vouchers, all worked seamlessly.I know you pay for all the service and flexibility provided by Nordic, however in our case where we covered many miles and stayed in many hotels, it was worth it !

This is was our second trip using Nordic Visitor and like the first it was perfect. Our Travel Consultant listened and accommodated our needs and desires ensuring that we had the best vacation possible. Our accommodations were a nice mix of hotels, guest houses and B&B's, giving us a variety of experiences. Our favorite was Sconser Lodge on Isle of Skye in Scotland. The lodge was very cozy and the hosts made you feel like family; and the food, absolutely the best!! Nordic Visitor made it so very easy to enjoy our trip without all of the worries.

Nordic was such a great way for us to travel. Everything is organized for you covering a wide range of personal tastes. Definitely took the stress out of having to organize ourselves.

My husband and I went to Scotland for our honeymoon. Lauriane was our travel consultant and she was wonderful! She took care of everything for us: scheduling our tours and transport, reserving our hotel rooms, and giving us ideas on other activities we could do. When we arrived to the hotel, I was surprised to get a bag and a map that she had personally wrote where our tours met and where our hotel was located. She made the whole planning process for Scotland stress and worry free!! She even texted me the names of our drivers that would be picking us up and dropping us off at the airport. We had so much fun and our planning another UK trip. I highly recommend using Nordic Visitor for your travel needs. The team is fantastic!

This was a well planned trip to Scotland. Nordic Visitor is very helpful and answered any questions and concerns that I had. The travel guide we had was awesome and the driver was fantastic. Everything fell into place as expected. I was able to see the important things in Scotland that everyone should visit when planning a trip there.

Highlights of Scotland small group tour was exceptional. Scotland land and seascapes were unforgettable - so much history and varied, outstanding views. Andy, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and also entertaining. What a storyteller! Dave, our bus driver, kept his coach and all travellers safe and comfortable. 

Our guide, Maya, was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited, personable, and genuinely kind. Our driver, John, was also wonderfully knowledgeable about the area and seemed to know people everywhere we went. Together they were a funny and impressive duo to show us around Scotland and I don't think there could have been better. Accommodations and food were amazing. Activities were great, although I would have loved to have done more in certain locations- a few, everything was closed while we were there or we lingered in some areas too long or too short. Overall, this tour was amazing and I will definitely recommend it to others.

Everything went smooth from hotels - lovely, food, to site seeing  David our tour guide was amazing so was wally our bus driver - I just wish drumbossie hotel was closer to town.

Our trip was amazing! Thank you Eve for helping us set up the trip, John Allen the wonderful tour guide and our incredible driver Brian. Everyone of you made this a wonderful experience. 

Our Tour Manager was very knowledgeable and friendly. The itinerary was a good mix of beautiful scenery and historical places. The hotels were all very comfortable and provided meals were vegetarian friendly. 

Nordic is awesome. We travelled to Dublin and joined a fun small group (14 plus Mary, our guide). Our transfers went off without a hitch. Mary was informed and took care of everyone. We then fly to Scotland where we were driven by Pete, our driver and guide. Again, an outstanding guide and driver.

Accommodations were great! The ferry inn had the best food. The whispering pines had the best rooms and views. The skye lodge had the best beds and hospitality. The driving tour was the best way to see Scotland because the scenery is amazing.

I enjoyed using Nordic Visitor as our event planner. I would recommend Nordic to anyone using how we planned our trip (and have already done so).

Magdalena provided us with wonderful insight, exceptionally clear documents, a map that was easy to read, a great rental car experience, and overall fabulous accommodations.

Duncan did a fabulous job planning our Scotland trip. We loved our lodging places and suggested sites to visit, especially since we're Outlander fans!

Jana, our travel consultant, was very responsive and helpful both before and during the trip. The information provided in the itinerary and the detailed map was very helpful. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. This was our first self-driving tour and it made the planning so much easier- no searching and booking accommodations!

Nordic Visitor staff was extremely helpful, even when the airline delayed our flight into Scotland by two full days. The quick adjustments and flexibility were a lifesaver!

The tour was great. We booked a self drive and everything we had per-booked, from hotels to car rentals and excursions was handled without worries. Magda did a great job answering all our questions prior to our arrival and Chris was able to modify our itinerary when we arrived late due to a flight cancellation. All the hotels and B&Bs were outstanding. This is the second time we have used Nordic Visitor and will do so again.

I had read through a lot of the reviews before booking with Nordic. I picked them because of their excellent reviews and I'm happy I did! Chris, our travel consultant was excellent! He was so nice and helpful. We had paid for the private transport to and from the hotel/airport and Sean was our driver. He was so nice/ friendly and informative. The accommodations were all lovely! The hosts were so nice and welcoming.The rental car service was excellent as well, again nothing but friendly service. We had booked ahead of time was the Lochness cruise, do it! It was fun, then we booked other activities the night before as we planned our events and travel for the day. We had an amazing holiday and would book again through Nordic!

Nordic Visitor was very helpful and easy to deal with, even though we were engaging from NZ, on the other side of the world. Duncan sorted everything without any fuss, which we simply could not have done remotely. All communications were clear and prompt. The information package arrived with plenty of time to absorb and ask questions (if we had any). Everything on the schedule went like clockwork, with Duncan advising a change in ferry timetable as soon as it happened, ensuring we did not waste any time. The accommodation was (mostly) good, noting that some locations were pretty tight. The recommendations for activities and points of interest were great - local knowledge gave us experiences we might otherwise have missed.

We were very pleased with the communication from Nordic Visitor as well as all of our accommodations!

All of the arrangements were clearly communicated and easy to follow. Help was an email away and promptly answered.

Our tour started in Edinburgh, then to Orkney Islands, Glasgow, Dublin around Ireland back to Dublin . 22nd of May until 16th of June. Everything we needed was handed to us at our accommodation in Edinburgh. We booked an extra day in Edinburgh to look around the city.

This is our second trip with Nordic Visitor and it won't be our last. Both have been self-drive adventures. What we truly appreciate is knowing that after a long day of traveling we will arrive at a lovely guest house that has great food, clean and comfortable rooms and warm hospitality. NV provides a helpful map and itinerary of activities catered to our interests...how nice to be able to find the local yarn shop--sometimes next door to our guest house! They also pointed out when we should prebook some attractions. This last trip we were particularly thankful for all of the logistics regarding the many ferries that we had to use. Communication was easy and fast before and during our trip. Can't wait to start planning our third trip!

Well organized tour. Great balance of history, culture and nature.

This tour exceeded my expectations of a small group tour. The entire trip was well organized beginning with the transfer from the airport. The hotel accommodations, meals, daily itineraries were all 5 star. The tour guide, Barbara, was a wealth of historical information and very funny, as was the driver, John. She made the daily road trips interesting and the laughs made it enjoyable. Barbara also played Scottish music as we traversed the Highlands - background music appropriate for the amazing scenery going by. During one of our hotel dinners, John arrived in Highland dress as did Barbara, which was quite charming and appreciated by all. My daughter and I had a wonderful time and having a week of sunny skies made for some beautiful pictures. We would not hesitate to use Nordic Visitor again.

Duncan was extremely helpful responding to all my questions and providing suggestions on all the areas I asked about. Everything on the 10-day u-drive trip was exactly what we needed and expected from the accommodations to the rental and the ferry connections. A full list of activities and places to visit with a well laid out route to see as much as possible in our stay. Overall everything was excellent!

We have recently returned from our Express tour of Scotland. The itinerary prepared by our consultant Eve from Nordic Visitor included everything down to the map of the area, vouchers for the accommodation and car hire and suggested sightseeing activities (which was extensive and we managed to visit 95% without disappointment!). The whole experience in booking the tour with Eve was seamless and far exceeded our expectations! The accommodation chosen for us was perfect 4-5 star and we look forward to using Nordic Visitor for our next trip!

The self-guided package allowed us to make the best of our vacation to Scotland. The accommodation were outstanding, as was the includedd breakfast. Having the rental car taken care of made things easy as well, especially since we are from out of country. The drop off/pick up from the airport was also well worth the money, as opposed to finding a cab or using a rideshare service. One of the best aspects of using Nordic Visitor was the welcome packet, which had everything from suggestions on eateries to suggested destinations. The best part of the destination recommendations was how inclusive it was. There was everything from standard tourist activities to off the beaten path hiking suggestions. Would absolutely use this service again. It would be even better if flights were included as an option as well.

Jana provided prompt responses to my queries. As my first time using overseas tour operator, it was a very pleasant experience.

Very pleasant, felt in good hands. Guide was great, hotels in the countryside great, transfers great.

I cannot recommend Nordic Visitor enough. I have already forwarded their information on to friends, and would definitely use them again!

Nordic Visitor was great. Unfortunately they cannot control the weather in the Scottish Highlands, which was deplorable in the first week of October.

We are very pleased with the service provided by Nordic Visitor. All the arrangements were excellent and very comfortable. Our agent also provided us with great ideas as we travelled through Scotland. Each day's itinerary was comfortable allowing ample time for sightseeing stops as we moved to our next accommodation. We highly recommend Nordic Visitor should your travel plans include any of their destinations.

Things could not have gone any smoother.

Everything was well planned out. We had no hiccups and everything went well.

Absolutely stunning tour! The cost to value was amazing, for a 10-day trip around the entire country it was so affordable. Our car rental was great, it gave us the room to tour around on our own time with optimal fuel efficiency. I filled up maybe twice. Our accommodation were impeccable. Each place was well kept, comfortable and the hosts/staff were incredibly kind. The extra tours we booked like the food and wine tour and Loch Ness cruise were wonderful additions to our touring and super fun. The entire tour was breathtaking, our guide gave us the most amazing options that we could tailor to our daily needs depending on how much driving, sightseeing, hiking, etc. we wanted to do.

We love Nordic Visitor. We have travelled to Norway, Iceland and now Scotland using Nordic Visitor and we will use Nordic Visitor again for future trips. The hotels/guest houses were very nice, comfortable and convenient. Picking up/dropping off our car was straightforward. The guide with info on recommended sites, restaurants was very helpful and appreciated. Booking was easy peasy. Really love you guys!

The daily itineraries offered lots of ideas and options as did the map of Scotland that was included. Often there were more places than time to explore them!

Overall very satisfying.

Seamless experience. Accommodation were great, everything booked by Nordic Visitor went flawlessly. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful time in Scotland!

Our tour was modified from one of the original listings. Nordic Visitor took our preferences into account and created an experience that will be memorable for a lifetime!

We had some of the most amazing views and scenic stops through this driving experience. The itinerary provided us with a lot of opportunity to see the history that Scotland has to offer. The castles Urquhart, Eilean Donan, Inveraray, and Doune were fantastic to walk through. Culloden Battlefield was very educational and provided a greater understanding for Scotland's turbulent history. We enjoyed driving through the Isle of Skye and seeing the countryside as well. Our short stay in Edinburgh left us wanting more as we didn't get to see everything we wanted to in the amount of time we had available. Holyrood Palace was absolutely amazing and we strongly recommend travellers to experience it. The people of Scotland are very friendly and respectful. We would love to come back!

Everything went well on our trip. It would have been nice to be contacted while we were travelling to make sure everything was going okay. We did feel a little rushed and it was a lot of driving. It maybe could have been better to stay more days at one place.

We had such an amazing time on our trip to Scotland. Our welcome bag had everything we needed and made us feel at ease knowing we wouldn't miss anything. We are already looking forward to planning our next trip through Nordic Visitor because of how easy everything was!

Excellent on all levels.

We had such a lovely time touring Scotland; everything was well thought out and all of the details were handled for us (hotels, routes, things of interests and even recommendations of places to eat). We only had one oops at the car rental - they had up graded us to a BMW, which wouldn't hold all our suitcases in the trunk. They did find us a different car and after a slight delay we were on our way. We enjoyed the driving, although somewhat harrowing for my husband, the driver. The scenery was magnificent, even in the rain.

This is our second vacation with Nordic Visitor and we loved it. Chris was really helpful in working with us to select a self-guiding tour that best matched up with our interests. The hotels were lovely and, despite some rainy days, itineraries for each day were great.

Initial discussions and ease of booking was great. Trip was fantastic.

I traveled with my spouse and other family and friends. The people on the tour that I did not know were friendly and shared similar interests. Our driver, Tim, was excellent, offering additional information at times to what our guide was saying. The two of them interacted well, and made for an overall pleasant experience.

Great tour, great hotels and meals provided were great!

This is our second tour with Nordic Visitor. Agents used before the tour were always very prompt with responses to our questions. During the tour, we found the accommodation perfect, guide very informative and friendly, and the driver got used to where we needed to go without any problems. We would definitely use Nordic Visitor again!

Excellent tour. Anita was friendly, informative, funny, and professional. The fact that none of the hotels we stayed in (except the final hotel in Glasgow) had elevators was challenging and I wished I was made aware of this fact ahead of time. You all did mention that not all hotels had elevators, but I did not expect 4 out of 5 to be without lifts. The evening meals were great and offered our group a chance to get to know each other. I did wish we could have stopped at the Kelpies, but time seemed to be against us. More time in Glenfinnan and Glen Coe would have been nice as well. Culloden and the Loch Ness cruise were about right. Thank you Chris for all your planning for this trip.

The highlight of our travels is our guide. He listened closely to our interests and tailored the day to meet our needs. If I booked through Nordic Visitor again, it would be to travel with our guide again. It would have been very helpful to speak with our guide directly in advance. This would have allowed us to customise the route more. There is room for improvement regarding our hotels. The accommodation need to match the purchased experience. We feel let down that we paid a premium for the Superior option and received 3-star hotels.

Eve did an excellent job of planning our itinerary as well as the hotels, rental car, ferries and suggestions for a few meals as well as activities. The travel documents were very clear and the map was exceptional with travel routes marked and hotels listed. We were provided with the Historic Environment Scotland Explorer Pass but we found very few opportunities to use it. We have travelled with Nordic Visitor in Iceland and now Scotland and found the services to be exceptional. We will use Nordic Visitor again in the future.

As we hoped, a self-drive tour of Scotland was the best way to see the country up close and personal. Driving on the other side of the road was not bad, until Edinburgh; that was a challenge. We met many friendly locals, ate in many great pubs and visited and experienced many beautiful places. It was the trip of a lifetime!

Nordic Visitor accommodated our requested itinerary changes with out hesitation. We travelled as a family to many places that we have always wanted to visit; however, didn't know how to fit them all in 2 weeks. We have been promoting Nordic to friends and family (even though we are still travelling) essentially telling them that we packed bags and turned up at a hotel and everything was arranged for us. A very stress-free way to travel. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our trip. The map and itinerary were well-designed. We were able to see and do a lot, but the amount of driving each day was reasonable with well-planned stops. The highlights and restaurant recommendations were mostly spot-on.

We had really great experiences with each B&B we stayed at but Gail at Dionard Guest House was especially lovely. If I were to go back I may stay there half the time then go back to the Isle of Skye for the rest of the time. It's just breathtaking there! Thank you Nordic Visitor!

We had a wonderful time and had no complaints about any of the arrangements.

Duncan was an amazing consultant! Every detail was well thought out which allowed us to enjoy our Scotland trip to the fullest. The self-driving was flexible so we were able to see the areas of Scotland on the route, but also explore our ancestry in other areas. Highly recommend Nordic Visitor!

We thoroughly enjoyed our self-driving tour of Scotland coordinated by Nordic Visitor. It was very helpful to have the itinerary laid out for us and all of the accommodation arranged ahead of time, while still leaving us the flexibility to use our time in the various locations as we desired. We really feel that we had an excellent overview of all that Scotland has to offer, and were even able to take in a day of Highland Games during our trip (a definite highlight if you can make it work!).

Nordic Visitor made the services incredibly easy and the plan was very clearly laid out for us.

We were very pleased with whole experience. Very professional. Pete, our driver and tour guide, was fantastic. Highly recommend him. The whole thing was well-done. Looking at a trip to Iceland and/or Norway and will look to Nordic Visitor again!

The tour was wonderful. We loved the welcome bag full of information, the tours were great and the accommodation were wonderful. Every bed and breakfast had its own unique personality and the hosts were absolutely wonderful.

Loved the experience. The private guide (Ryan) was excellent.

The tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide (Peter) quickly got a good idea of the things we liked and tailored the tour to see the things that he thought we would like and avoid the things that he did not think that we would like. His judgement was spot-on, and we felt like he truly listened to us and made our experience special.

Dan, our tour guide, and Jack, our driver, were excellent. Both were very professional. Competent and friendly. Mingled with the group easily and gave assistance when required.

Great locations, fantastic guide and driver for the bus. 

Scotland is a beautiful country and we were able to see do much of it. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

We have utilised Nordic Visitor before for our Iceland trip. We were very pleased with the service provide to us.

I enjoyed my tour of Scotland so much! Booking with Nordic Visitor was so easy. Their itinerary showcased highlights across the country, so I feel like I experienced the best of the best! The communication from our tour consultant, Duncan, was prompt and detailed. It was so comforting knowing that Nordic Visitor was only a phone call away 24/7.

We have already recommended Nordic Visitor to friends and family! Magda was extremely helpful, and even at the last minute when there was a chance my husband's health situation might have interfered with our travel, she reassured us that there were alternatives possible. Fortunately, we were able to go and it was truly one of the best vacations ever!

Eve was our Nordic Visitor travel consultant and did a great job guiding us for our 8-day driving tour of Scotland and ensuring we knew what to expect and what to do where (i.e. book restaurants in Isle of Skye!). When she wasn't available, someone else helped us out. Many of the tips provided were very useful. We love the idea of a self-drive tour and being able to stop wherever we like along the way. It was very reassuring that Nordic Visitor had booked our accommodation, and guided us along the way, especially as we didn't have much knowledge of the area previously. As it turns out we didn't have any rain in Scotland for our 9 days - quite an anomaly! This has been a trip of a lifetime for us. Thank you!

Airport transfers were excellent. Drivers were on time and friendly. Accommodation was all good. You couldn't have paired our family with a better guide/driver than Dave. He made our Scotland experience so special by taking us off the beaten path and showing us some of the most beautiful natural sites and places in Scotland. We covered 1000 miles in distance in our 7 days. We learned so much from Dave.

Most of the hotels were amazing. The rooms were wonderful and the breakfasts were delicious.

Overall, we were happy with the tour. We especially liked the page for each day that had the suggestions of what to do in that area. We did so much hiking and relied on the suggested hikes on that sheet. We had not researched ahead except for a few "must-see" sights so it was very helpful to have the highlights for each area layed out for our needs.

We took this trip with another couple and it was a great experience. Never having travelled to Scotland, it took some time to figure out exactly what we wanted to see and do. However, we managed to put together a plan for each day, some ahead of time and sometimes spur of the moment. Isle of Skye had to be our favorite area, and I so wish we could have stayed overnight in Oban area as that is a hidden jewel.

Nordic Visitor (specifically our travel consultant, Eve) was very responsive to our needs. We loved having alternatives on each day's itinerary. We are not as young as we used to be, but we still love travel, and being able to do each day at our own pace was essential for us. We loved the variety of accommodation.

We did the self guided tour of Scotland. I wish we had more time to explore this amazing country! It was a new experience for most of us to drive around on our own and be able to control what we saw and it will definitely be a way of travel for us in the future. I think we were able to avoid a large majority or tourist traps this way. Of course, we still visited some, but it was amazing to be able to experience Scotland at our own pace and be able to stop when we wanted. Thank you Nordic Visitor!

Itinerary, rental car, and accommodation were all outstanding. Guest houses and hosts exceeded our expectations.

Early in our tour, our ferry to Orkney had to be rebooked due to issues with Pentland. We were not in a good service area to get that information on the day that Nordic Visitor tried to contact us. The changes were sent to our accommodation that evening and everything went smoothly. All accommodation was great. They were clean, had great breakfasts and were located in beautiful settings.

Great way to see the country. All the upfront planning done by Nordic Visitor so we could just enjoy the experience. Having a hire car allowed us to see what we wanted to see.

Rebecca was always prompt with responses to questions and always informative, always patient. We're first time (and older) travellers and her professional manner was a delight to work with.

Everything went exactly as planned, there were no hiccups or issues along the way. All questions prior to our tour were answered quickly. Our drivers were all on time and friendly. All the accommodation was clean and staff were very friendly.

When we decide to go to Ireland or back to Iceland, we will use Nordic Visitor.

Is is testament to our happiness with the tour and services that our only complaint is that the provided map, although excellent, started to fall apart at the folds on the first day and was in shreds by end of trip. Other than that, we loved the trip and will be using your services again for a trip to Iceland.

We had an amazing vacation on our self-drive tour through Scotland. The locations were good and the drive time per day was reasonable with numerous stops. We had to contact Nordic Visitor twice while on our trip, once as we had a flat tire and were delayed by several hours. They contacted the rental company and the hotel to let them know we would be late arriving. The other time was when our ferry was cancelled and when I called, they were already aware and working on getting us on a later ferry. Both times we had to call for assistance they were very helpful and kept in communication with us until it was resolved and we were back on our way. I was very happy with the entire experience and would recommend to my friends. If you are interested in doing a self-drive tour in another country, this is a great way to plan your trip. It was all mapped out better than I could have done it myself.

We felt we saw 99% of Scotland using Nordic Visitor. Chris did a great job lining up our lodgings, vehicle, ferry tickets and providing a detailed itinerary. We left no stone unturned and although I was apprehensive about driving on the left, I had no issues. The single lane tracks were dicey but everyone was friendly and gave a passing wave. The sheep presented no problem as we enjoyed our revenge at dinner.

Great tour, good support when things did not work out as planned, good people working for you. Eve was great. The accommodation was all great, wonderful people. Some places we got to and some we did not, but we had a wonderful time and will recommend you folks to everyone, as well as see you in the future.

Our overall experience was very good, minus some accommodation that we did not like as much as the others. What made the tour exceptional was our guide, Dave. His knowledge of Scotland and professionalism made the trip. He was awesome about tailoring each day's itinerary to our likes and taking us off the beaten path to experiences and sights that we would never have found on our own.

Rebecca was excellent in her communication with us. One example is that right before we travelled, she rebooked our ferry to Orkney because of a problem with the original plan. The car rental, the personalised itinerary with maps and the suggestions for places to see along the way were all very helpful. The trip was one of my all time favorite adventures.

I loved having everything mapped out for us, especially because it was our first trip to Scotland.

The accommodation and food were exceptional. The sites we saw and the history explained by our tour guide were just unbelievable. The small coach is the way to travel. We all became friends. 

This was an amazing trip! I can't say enough about the care and detail that went into the planning, the itinerary, the maps, everything! All of the accommodation was perfect (with one exception). Having a car with GPS made getting around so easy (especially when I missed an exit on a roundabout). I would not hesitate to use Nordic Visitor again for a memorable vacation.

The accommodation was all very good and the people very friendly. The route could have been a little better defined as well as certain sights that should be seen.

Great tour! Just the right amount of activities. Rooms and meals were excellent, guide and driver were entertaining and professional. Coach was comfortable and modern. Overall a fantastic experience!

We were very impressed with our guide. Best part of the tour as he was extremely knowledgeable. Travel was easy, timely and clean. Not a lot of vegetarian options for dinner.

We were spoiled with glorious weather for our tour. Could not have been more pleased with Andy. His knowledge significantly enhanced our experience.

Our tour guide, Andy, made our trip fabulous! I had warned my husband that the guide will make or break our experience. Well, Andy made it a once-in-a-lifetime fantastic experience and more. Our second driver, Alan, was also an asset to our holiday - keeping his eye out for surprises along the road we are glad we did not miss. There is no doubt I will recommend Nordic Visitor and use them again if our travels coincide with its offerings.

I have never used a tour service like this, but it was the perfect way to experience Scotland. We were given amazing suggestions, great directions, had every question answered, and had the perfect experience. Our consultant, Magda, was wonderful! It was the right balance between independence and an assisted tour. I am already recommending Nordic Visitor to everyone.

Our tour guide was fantastic. I wish I would have been told more about what to expect before we travelled, though.

This is the second we have travelled with Nordic Visitor and it was a fantastic trip again.

We selected the Scottish Highlands & Isle of Skye self-drive tour and it was perfect for us. We liked that Nordic Visitor arranged hotels and the rental car for us, but we were free to pick what sights we wanted to see in between. This was actually a rescheduled trip from 2022 and the team made it so easy to transfer over our balance and reschedule. They were attentive to any upgrades/changes we wanted to make and made it so easy. Would 100% recommend using them.

I love that using Nordic Visitor took the stress out of planning, finding hotels and planning the driving. It made for a fun adventure.

Working with Nordic Visitor was so easy. They followed through on everything we requested and put together our itinerary without a lot of back and forth to get what we wanted. All of the accommodation was clean, safe and centrally located in the cities we stayed in.

We worked with Rebecca in planning our tour. She was very prompt in answering our questions. Her hotel recommendations were very worthwhile. Our documents arrived in a very timely manner. She also left extra tour information at the hotel for when we checked in.

We booked a 4-day Christmas Tour of Edinburgh which included hotel accommodation, a walking tour of the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle, a day tour of the Highlands and Lowlands, castles, and lochs, and also a whisky distillery tour. The hotel was in an amazing location near the Christmas Markets and popular attractions. The day tours were such a wonderful way to experience the countryside outside of Edinburgh. We also added a driving service to drive us to and from the airport and the drivers were so lovely. The care package left at the hotel consisting of maps and suggested eateries was such a delightful bonus. We loved that every aspect of our trip was planned and ready for us once we arrived which diminished any travel stress that one may experience when travelling abroad.

We booked our tour with Rebecca at short notice (week prior). She was most helpful with arranging our hotel, tours and airport transfer booking, and was quick to respond to our questions and booking requests. Thank you!

I definitely recommend Nordic Visitor for your travel experience! You can pick a package that they offer, and either go directly by it, or you can change it up a bit to accommodate your needs and experience! Eve set up my tour, she is absolutely amazing! This tour was a much needed reprieve from my life at the time, and she helped make it all possible! I spent a month on a self-drive tour, and didn't have to stress about any of the accommodation. I knew in advance and in detail what I could, or would do everyday. This trip was everything I wanted and needed to enjoy beautiful Scotland!

I am so happy we went through Nordic Visitor. The trip was so well planned and prepared that it made this travel experience so much better! I will definitely be using them again.

I've told everyone who asked that I would 100% recommend this company. It was the best vacation I've ever taken. Accommodation, rental car, transfers, all exceptional.

This was our second tour with Nordic Visitor, with our first being Iceland in 2017. That first experience was stellar and we wanted to used Nordic Visitor again for Scotland this round since our first experience was so great. We really love the ability to go at our own pace, while getting tour and sight recommendations, and staying at unique, local properties. Scotland and the team we worked with for this tour did not disappoint! We were originally slated to go in April of 2020. Through it all Nordic Visitor and the team have been absolutely phenomenal, going well above and beyond anything we would have expected. Not only did they help us reschedule multiple times, they kept us updated with everything going on in the UK with the pandemic, and answered 100's of questions from us over the years. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that our original contracted amount for the trip was honoured, which was both unexpected but very appreciated. We will absolutely be using Nordic Visitor again in the future. We can't wait to use these services again! Huge and special shoutout to the Scotland Nordic Visitor Team, especially Rebecca - she stuck through all this with us for over 2 years and made the overall experience spectacular!
