This was our introduction to the highlands with my 18 year old grandson and my daughter. The Highlands Cows were a highlight! We loved the visit to the sheep farm with the explanation of all the sheep. Sterling Castle was magnificent. Rafal made the trip very fun and informative. We enjoyed seeing the Kelpies and learning about the legend. A very fun day.

We had a wonderful day with Rafal. He knows it all, even called for Jamie at the Outlander castle. You will have a fun, historical day to remember if you book this tour. And with lots of laughter!

Great day out with Rafal, we saw so many awesome things. Rafal had done research on our special requests and easily adapted to what we wanted.
