6 adults and 1 amazing tour guide! To say James is a proud and knowledgeable Scotsman is an understatement! He made possible what we thought was impossible and still made it seem like a blink of an eye. We had a last minute change of plans and James arranged a 2 day tour into a 1 day whirlwind of the Highlands. History, stories, and personal experiences around every corner. From Greenock to Inverness and back to Greenock. So much into 1 day. Glencoe came alive with the history, lunch on the banks of Loch Ness was delicious and picturesque! Inverness was quick but beautiful. James kept us on schedule and had us back in time! I can’t say enough about the passion for all things Scotland James conveyed! I think my kids are going to pull up and move across the pond. Wonderful!

This was the first of two tours with James/Alba Experiences during our stay in Glasgow. The amount of ancient Scottish history James packed into this excursion was impressive. We visited sites off the beaten path and his knowledge of each was incredible. He was always open to questions and was never without an answer. An absolutely amazing and educational experience. I cannot recommend James and Alba Experiences enough for any Scottish excursion.

James (Alba Experiences owner/guide) was an absolute wealth of knowledge - Scottish history for the past thousand years or so, Outlander trivia (he’s been an extra on the show), nature…and happily answered all of our questions about everything. Communication and planning was very easy - I simply gave him my ideas and group interests and he planned three FULL days - saw all we wanted to see but didn’t feel rushed. He gave us insider tours of Blackness Castle, Stirling Castle, Highland Folk Museum, Culloden, Clava Cairns, took us to hidden gems away from the crowds, shared Scottish culture…the list goes on… This trip ranks right up there on my list of “all time best experiences of my life.”
