A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourA sold-out ship's shore excursion led us to John McCormack and what a stroke of luck that was! We had a wonderful day touring the Highlands with John. He was accommodating and adaptable--our ship docked at a different pier and we had to change the meeting location at the last minute. He was also knowledgeable and entertaining--we enjoyed conversing with him. Also, we covered a lot of ground during our 6-hour tour. Highly recommend John!
