5.00we had a beautiful weather day, there is not enough time to go to the priory ruins and the castle, it is a long walk. we did the priory and we were there on a sunday, things were closed. Alnwick castle was gorgeous! By changing return routes our guide Euan was able to give us more time to explore. Well worth it, the interior rooms are stunning and a working castle.
Lots of historical info

5.00Our guide, Angela was a wealth of information about the area. We chose Lindisfane castle as there wasn't tine to visit the priory or museum. The tour of Alnwick castle was great, so much to see. All in all, this was a great tour.

5.00This was the tour with great history, wonderful beauty, and a lot of fun. Angela, our guide, was warm, fiercely, proud of her country, well informed and knew how to be a fabulous hostess. Her stories, facts and music made the day fly by. The contrast between Holy Island and Alnwick Castle were perfect juxtapositions. It added great interest to the day which seemed to fly by.
The Wee Red Bus and drivers are the best!

5.00Heart of Scotland tours are just exceptional. This was the second of two we took and both were so well organized and comfortable. Our guide/driver was Angela and she combined history and knowledge of the area with music in a marvelous way. The pace, sites and value of this tour were unsurpassed. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this company. The vans are perfect as is group size. What a great way to enjoy the Borders area. Recommend!
Great tour!

5.00In a brand new bus went out with our tour guide Angela. She was super enthusiastic and knew a lot about places we visited. She interspersed stories with music to match. Highly recommended!
Beautiful Lindisfarne and the Harry Potter castle.

5.00We had a lovely trip in the sunshine to Lindisfarne, Alnwick Castle, and Bamburgh Castle. Our guide was very friendly. One hour on Lindisfarne is far too little on a 9-hour tour (with 4 hours of driving). Luckily, we were planning to return to a three day stay at Lindisfarne on our own the following week, so we didn’t stress. We had plenty of time at Alnwick Castle and Gardens, and really enjoyed ourselves there. On the way back, we stopped by Bamburgh, since Coldstream was closed (?). I only had time to walk to the beach and around the castle before we started the drive home. We took a detour on the way back. If I were to mention one thing, I found it unnecessary to make a detour through Edinburgh when the two main destinations were in another country. There was also a detour through Dunbar, without a stop. Personally, I would have preferred to spend that extra time on Lindisfarne.
Excellent Experience

5.00This was an excellent tour for exploring the Viking Coast and Alnwick Castle. Our tour guide, Callum, was so passionate and made the stories he shared come alive. We felt like we had traveled back in time! We had numerous stops throughout the tour and plenty of time to explore the various sites. We had a smashing time!
Engaging, fun tour with lasting memories made

5.00Absolutely wonderful time on this tour. For our first time in Edinburgh, we booked this, and felt it was well worth the money. Even on a very hot day, the air conditioning was excellent, bus was well kept, and our tour guide was amazing. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you, like us, didn’t have the time to commit to a full day in the Highlands - this tour will delight you!
Perfect day

5.00We've done a few outings with organized companies and Heart of Scotland is really good. Our guide explains several elements of Scotland and history. He also added several small synaptic arrests. Alnwick and Lindisfarne are beautiful and the tours are very good. Thanks again and see you soon.
