Jane was an excellent resource. She really made the planning of our trip easy from start to finish. Jane was always available to make changes and help us make the most of our time. We made a few adjustments to our plans while in Scotland and Jane and KimKim were always available and happy to help.
This was a Perfect 10 trip.
Thanks Jane!!
We will definitely use KimKim when planning our next trip.

Hotel Reviews
The Scotsman Hotel
Edinburgh

Scotsman is in a perfect location to the Royal Mile and the train station. The stay was fantastic and very helpful. They provided great recommendations and service. The breakfast was good and the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t bring oversized bags the lifts are typical small European lifts. Overall a very nice hotel

Glenmoriston Townhouse Hotel
Inverness

Wonderful staff in a great location. Rooms are very inconsistent and some are really rundown. The location is very nice but the hotel rooms need to be completely redone. There is no AC and our room was damp and very musty. There are No lifts, porters and it’s a 3 story hotel with no handicap accessibility.

Authenticity & Character
Older hotel that needs a major refresh.
Location
Excellent location
Staff
The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The staff did as best as they could but they can’t make the old carpet better or dry rooms that are humid and musty. This is no place for people with limited motility or asthma.
Clayton Hotel
Glasgow

This is fantastic hotel. It blends the best of the old world charm with New world amenities and modern features. Excellent new large elevators. Great view from the higher floors. Clean and comfortable rooms that felt newly remodeled. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent Bar and restaurant with a great complimentary breakfast.

Boat Ride Around the Canal & Loch Ness including a Visit to Urquhart Castle
Boat Ride Around the Canal & Loch Ness including a Visit to Urquhart Castle
Scotland

Beautiful views. Urquhart Castle is not a must see. Loch Ness is a nice Lake but also not a must see in my opinion. Spend the day in Stirling or St Andrews. Watch Rick Steve’s episode and skip this if you’re strapped for time. We would skip it had we known.

Quality of Experience
Just not a must see.

The Isle of Skye & Eilean Donan Castle
The Isle of Skye & Eilean Donan Castle
Inverness

Isle of Skye was amazing. Donnan Castle is a Must see Castle. The scenery and castle are fabulous. I would highly recommend a private tour with a small group in a Sprinter Van. This is a trip that is far better with the visibility you get in a smaller van without worrying about driving

Quality of Experience
Donan Castle was incredible. They did an amazing job rebuilding it .

Scotland

Glasgow is a wonderful city with a tremendous amount to see. Our driver Robert changed our tour to a full day in Glasgow and we were happy he did. We saw Glasgow Cathedral, the burial grounds and he took us all around town. We ended the day at the Kelvingrove Museum. You could kill 4 hours there easy.

Quality of Experience
Our driver Robert was a wonderful part of our trip . We could not have asked for a more Authentic Scot to help us experience Glasgow.
