This trip was amazing. It was the only reason we squeezed a day to Aberdeen into our Scotland tour and it was certainly worth it!
We were so lucky with the weather but also our tour guide Martin was incredible - so friendly and so informative!
The castle was beautiful with great views plus the two waterfalls you also get to visit.
Definitely recommend and would love to go back!
Awesome guide

Alice is an amazing guide who enthusiastically shared loads of Scottish historical facts and stories. It felt like this tour should be double the price as it is truely a full day tour with a comprehensive discovery of the area. One of the best guided tours I have been on, thank you Alice.
Stunning views at Dunnottar Castle - a must see!

Alice was our tour guide and went out of her way to make sure we had a good time. She was very informative regarding the sites we were seeing and outlined the stops we would be making - asking our input in the process along the way. She even stopped for us to take some pictures of Highland Cows, a highlight of our trip! Dunnottar Castle is a must see, but beware that you will go up and down and back down and up about 500 steps during your tour - worth it. We had stunning pictures and even saw dolphins in the North Sea. We saw salmon jumping out of the water on their trip upstream at the Falls of Feugh. We drove by Balmoral Castle and stopped for lunch near there. Alice brought us on a short hike in the Muir of Dinnet National Reserve to a bowl shaped alcove that was really cool. Alice kept us informed, entertained and made frequent stops to keep the day moving with hikes, breaks and tours.
Short trip but highly valuable

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
