  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review 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.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    It was truly a beautiful experience, the highlight of our Scotland trip. Scott was so kind, knowledgeable and funny. Our group had 2 kids, one almost one and the other one a toddler. As much as it felt like we were being ambitious in doing a day long tour with the kids, considering my younger one was out on a trip for the first time, Scott understood our challenges and planned the whole day so well, that we did not have any trouble, while we got to see the Kelpies, the bridges, lunch at a lovely local rustic restaurant, see a Castle. My husband managed to go to a distillery too!!! And in the end my kid was waiting to meet the highland cows, ans Scott made that possible as well. Amazing is an understatement.

    Great night at the comedy attic. This is the place to be for late night stand up comedy. Always worth heading along and seeing who's on

    What a great experience through Scotland! Chris was such a great informative and accommodating driver. He was very flexible and open to a few fun things I wanted to do on my first visit to Scotland. I would highly recommend Monarch Tours and I am already excited about my next trip back to Scotland!

    My family and I did a day tour of Glencoe with Scott. It was a highlight of our trip! Scott picked us up from our hotel and was just an absolute delight from the moment we met him. As we were driving out of Edinburgh Scott took us by some must-see sites and talked about the history/background. As we made it to and through Glencoe, we saw bridges, monuments, and just absolutely picturesque lochs, mountains, waterfalls, and landscapes. We stopped and fed some highland cows that were just adorable! We also stopped at a mini Stonehenge type area with stones that were thousands of years old. We visited a number of quaint and lovely villages to break up the drive and do a bit of shopping with coffee breaks etc, which included stopping at a world-renowned chocolatier for a tasting! The tour ended with Scott dropping us off at our hotel. Again, this day was an absolute highlight and that was due in no small part to Scott. He was so lovely and funny and knowledgeable that it just made our day. I can't say enough nice things about the day and highly recommend it to anyone considering that tour.

    Where to begin? My wife & I booked a 17 day trip to Scotland. Having never been, we crossed our fingers for all of the excursions we planned. I can now say, without any hesitation, of all that we planned, the very best decision that we made was to book Chris Pendleton on a private two-day tour. He was AMAZING. His vehicle (Land Rover) was impeccable and incredibly comfortable. He’ll show you Scotland like you will never see on your own. He avoids the touristy places and takes you to enchanted scenery and hide-away spots that no travel book would cover. He takes you to restaurants that DON’T serve bus loads of tourists. We ran in to a couple who had rented a car for 14 days because they wanted to “do it their way.” They paid over $2,000 for the rental (check the price of gas in Scotland! 🥴), and they were just hitting the touristy spots because that’s what the guide books said to do. We, on the other hand booked Chris (for a lot less money) and got the tour of a lifetime. You’ll never see what we saw if you book a bus tour or try to do it yourself. We had no car, and when not with Chris, used the trains and the occasional bus very effectively. Chris was so incredibly informative. As a proud Scot, he knows his history, and it’s infectious. There’s no way I’ll tour Scotland in a future trip without calling on Chris. There’s so much more of Scotland that we wish to see, and I deeply wish we had booked Chris for more days. Bottom line… don’t rent a car. The liability, cost, and aggravating driving in a foreign country with different traffic laws is a recipe for stress and uneasiness (the exact opposite of what a vacation is supposed to be about). Use the public transportation system and for goodness sake, top off your trip with the booking of Chris Pendleton at Monarch. You will never regret it. He really is that good!!

    PS. My wife left some purchased items in his car. I emailed him and told him to just give the items to another guest, as he was far away, and with gas costs in Scotland, it wasn’t worth asking him to come back. We went to have lunch, and upon our return the hotel informed us that Chris had returned and left the items at the desk for us. My wife was so happy. He truly is a gentleman, as well as a great tour guide.

    We were blessed to spend the day with Chris. His love for Scotland and knowledge of culture and history truly made it a special day. Chris was flexible in the tour and tailored it to meet our specific request. I would highly recommend this adventure!

    We thoroughly enjoyed this show. Although we had seen the performer before, we particularly cherished the intimate setting and the cherry-picked selection of acts. He made everyone feel involved and really had us on our toes - we still have no clues of how some of his tricks were done.
    The location is stunning, I had never been there before. All in all, the experience was so special: it was just a treat. A must-see, don't miss it.

    Want to thank Andrew Ward and Expedition Yorkshire for the superb tour through the beautiful Yorkshire countryside! Andrew put together an outstanding tour including everything on our "must see" list and so much more. From the charming little villages and ancient ruins to the breathtaking scenery in the Dales and Moors, treating us to his vast knowledge of the geography, the history and all that is "Yorkshire"!

    We actually had 2 iconic tours during the Scotland leg of our family trip. The walking tour of London was good. We had 5 adults and 6 children and were with Gillian. She was informative and nice. We also had a driving tour with Chris. He was great. He let us ask questions and direct the conversation on our way to St. Andrews. Unfortunately, as we were pulling into the beautiful town, my 4 year old threw up due to the windy road in. Chris and the bus driver couldn't have been more kind. Chris directed me to the public bathroom where we could wash up and sent my husband to the golf shop to buy replacement clothing for our little guy. Our tour was a bit delayed, but he didn't mind at all and gave us a delightful tour of the golf course, the university and the old cathedral grounds before dropping us for our lunch reservation and collecting us for a last photo opportunity of the Old Course. Thank you Chris!
