Scotland Tours | Wendy Wu Tours

Scotland holidays offer the perfect combination of rich history and vibrant living culture. With dramatic landscapes, cosmopolitan cities, remote lonely isles and convivial festivals, this is a nation of captivating contrasts.

Scotland’s history stretches back over 10,000 years from mythical heroes, through Celts, Romans, Vikings, clans and royal intrigue to engineering marvels of the modern world. Scattered amongst the beautiful scenery your footsteps will lead you amongst eerie standing stones, grand castles and opulent stately homes that are testament to the fluctuating fortunes of the people that have called this country home for millenia.

Scotland’s landscapes are undoubtedly the star of the show, think lofty mountains, vast tranquil lochs, emerald forests and wild unspoilt golden beaches. From the undulating rich farmsteads of the lowlands through the soaring peaks of the highlands to the remote and rugged islands off-shore, the natural beauty on show will simply take your breath away.

The cities are no slouches either! From centres of royal intrigue to powerhouses of the British empire, the cities are packed with historical reminders from lofty castles and crooked medieval lanes to grand Georgian terraces. A world famous calendar of festivals draw visitors from across the globe and the welcoming hospitality ranges from friendly cosy pubs to Michelin starred restaurants.

Scotland is also home to some wonderfully scenic railway lines, marvels of engineering where Victorian ingenuity has carved picturesque highways through the captivating scenery. Riding the Jacobite steam railway over the vast sweep of the Glenfinnan Viaduct sums up Scotland perfectly; romance, history and natural beauty that will bring a tear to your eye.

Review for Spirit of Scotland

The main reason for a five star rating is the quality of the tour guide. Joan Dobbie was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and accommodating, as well as experienced and highly competent.
Other positives about this holiday were the overall itinerary, which gave us a good coverage of Scotland's cities, highlands and islands, as well as the group size (10) which helped make it comfortable.
The weather helped, but nobody can choose that!
Nearly all the hotels used were very good, but the Marriott in Inverness was poor in terms of service and quality of breakfast (typical of a large chain). The Knipoch hotel was definitely the nicest, although the Edinburgh and Glasgow ones were good too.
The evening restaurant in Inverness was OK, but it was a shame that we had three consecutive nights there when the city obviously has a far wider choice, e.g. the lunch time Mustard Seed was very good.
Lunch in Loch Lomond was really very bad and if an alternative can be found for future tours we suggest doing that.
Overall, as explained, we had an excellent time.
Best wishes,
Christine and Paul

The tour was well planned and gave a good mix of experiences and things to see and do in Scotland.
The pace was about right for us and the tour guide Joan Dobbie was absolutely first class.
We were blessed with excellent weather which of course always helps, especially as a lot of the things we did were outside. Maybe different weather might have changed what we could do and might have coloured our view a bit...
The hotels were all comfortable, well-appointed and convenient. Some were more cosy or more atmospheric than others, but they all provided the opportunity to have a good night's sleep.
I do have mobility issues and use a rollator, so sometimes I chose not to leave the coach for the regular photo stops; I also did find the 1 mile walk up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and the cobble stones in the castle grounds in Edinburgh and in Stirling a bit challenging and uncomfortable, but they didn't spoil things for me in the overall scheme of things.
My only real issue was that we ate our evening meals in Stirling at a restaurant that was about 600 yards away from the hotel. By the end of the day I really didn't want to leave the hotel in order to have our evening meal. Also, we were taken to the same hotel for each of the 3 nights, when I would have preferred the option to try somewhere else - we passed lots of establishments on the way that looked suitable. It wasn't as if the restaurant we were taken to offered a good choice of meals - at least, not for us. Thank goodness that the weather was kind otherwise it would have been miserable! In fact, for the 3rd night my husband and I passed on the meal and ate in the hotel instead, at our own additional cost, just to avoid having to out again.
But all in all, it was a great tour!

I enjoyed my holiday very much but there were a couple of issues, especially with the hotel in Oban.
The Queens Hotel was not up to 4☆ standard. Dinner was served at the sister Hotel which was a shambles. The food was poorly cooked, left to go cold and ran out. Service left a lot to be desired. Considering the tour is quite expensive, I expected much more than these hotels offered.
The hotels in Edinburgh, Inverness and Hlasgow were very good yo excellent. Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable... she looked after us well.
Would I make any changes? One or two... more time needed in Portree and forget the gillie. More time in Pitlochry and forget Aviemore.

Well organised small group tour. Visited a good range of places including a few that have been on my bucket list for a while. Great local guide throughout which made the journey very easy.
