Have just been reading various messages sent between some of the ladies who enjoyed their Mystical Scotland and Highlander Tour with us some years back.
Kindly they all spoke of their enjoyment , love of Scotland and wish to return or to visit Ireland which was mentioned during their earlier trips.
Here at VorScot both Tracy and myself would love to help them arrange another tour in 2025 and have reminded them that “ Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”.

The tour around the House was excellent with a superb guide giving us the history and telling the story of how the wonderful Chippendale furniture was collected so that it can now be regarded with enthusiasm and respect by visitors

A truly marvellous experience which I personally enjoy more with each visit I have made over the years

A great day out

The Chinese Bridge was admired by all.

31/05/2024

Having a good time in the sun

31/05/2024

With some of the group shopping in Malaga

31/05/2024

Even shopping proved fun and a chance to cool down in the shade but no complaints

31/05/2024

With all that food and the ability just to laze around keeping up an exercise programme is necessary and the beaches come supplied with great equipment. Its necessary for the tour guide to show the way

31/05/2024

The need for something cool was a common habit

31/05/2024

Visiting Malaga, Segovia, Torre del Mar , Marbella and some of the famous "White Villages" of Andalusia we had interesting experiences , good food and a fun time.

Then into Warwick itself for our lunch break and to admire the iconic St Mary`s Church with its marvellous 15th C Beauchamp Chapel and its history. The super acoustics inside were also demonstrated by the lovely singing of a local male choir.
Then to visit the magnificent Lord Leycester Hospital home of the medieval guilds then in 1571 a Tudor "Hospital". Its 12thC chapel built over the Norman Gate and its beautiful 14thand 15thC timber framed buildings clustered around a medieval galleried courtyard were a favourite attraction with its Masters Garden to explore.

Warwick Castle built by William the Conqueror in 1068 kept everyone busy and happy both inside and walking around outside. The sunshine made it just the right day to visit. The inside is magnificent with many treasures to discover while wandering around the grounds and between different parts of the many buildings within the castle estate gave relaxation and some fine views

But back to the start in Edinburgh where we boarded our coach. Maria Laura welcomed everyone and was well received as our hostess. As our new Marketing Consultant this was her firs visit to the UK and taking part in one of our tours - domiciled in Spain she hails from Venezuela as another excellent addition to our international Team VorScot. Always delighted to enlighten our clients I enjoy having the mike.

Gillian snapped in the garden at Anne Hathaway`s Cottage. Super to visit especially on a good weather day to enjoy the magical gardens as well as the House. But pictures speak better so you can judge for yourself as you browse some of those taken during our adventure in Warwickshire.
Most of the Group caught in front of Shakespeare`s Birthplace in Stratford - upon - Avon

The "Friends Tour" was great fun, interesting and very much appreciated by the Group participants.
Gillian Ferguson, Chair of the Friends Committee has written to inform us and I quote:
"Ivor you done us proud with the holiday. Beyond expectations and so professional. You do Get More than a Holiday with VorScot Tours"
The kind of feedback we love and usually get. We had prepared an itinerary taking the Friends to Orkney next year and gave advance notice to the Group. Already we have 9 participants signed to join us next April/May even before the details are circulated around the full membership of the Friends. So this is testimony in itself. We are going to wonderful Orkney in 2025
