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.

What travellers are saying
- Rikkejjshhh4 contributionsBeautiful, wish we could spend more time in Dunnottar, but overall was a great tour.
We had the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the oníric long green Scottish fields and lots of great sights along with lots of interesting facts of the country and placesWritten 11 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - ecksphileUnion NJ15 contributionsMalcolm was amazing! His knowledge of Scottish history made a huge difference to the tour of castles. He is highly recommended for both the local color he brought and for the way he tailored the tour for us (my husband has difficulty getting around and Malcolm made things so much easier for him which was so appreciated.). Would love to book a multi-day larger tour with him if we return. He is the best - totally dedicated to his guests' experiences.Written 24 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan S3 contributionsWe loved our visit to Balmoral Castle, the Royal Distillary, and Dunnottar Castle. It was an exciting experience for me to walk the grounds near River Dee where the Royal Family barbecues annually. The Royal Ballroom offered photographs and paintings of the RF to view. Ghillies dresses and Highlanders garb worn by the RF were on display and a delight to take in and remember forever. Learning about the methods of whiskey distilling and tasting the product of Lochnagar Whiskey was unique. I especially liked the whiskey tasting. My favorite was the whiskey that had been encased in sherry casks. Castle Dunnottar was breathtaking and a physical challenge for me to descend and then ascend the 260 steps in order to navigate the ruins. It was just lovely! Our tour guide Malcolm was very knowledgeable about each of the places we visited and was a great assist the whole day. 😊Written 20 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sandsend quaint and vast beach.
Roseisle forest another gem.Written 2 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Scott P8 contributionsMalcolm was fantastic! My husband and I both have Scottish ancestry and have talked of a trip to Scotland for a long time, so when we booked a rail tour of the country, I knew I wanted to go to Dunnottar Castle, my ancestral home. The tour operator didn't have an excursion available, so we booked a private day tour through Time Exposure Travel. The list of sights for the day was long, but Malcolm told us from the beginning that we could choose where to spend our time and we'd see everything we could.
Taking us to the various locations is one thing, but Malcolm did so much more. He explained so much of the history and points of interest, and then allowed us to explore Dunnottar without rushing. A talented photographer, he sent us photos he had taken of us which were so much better than we could have taken ourselves. Malcolm encouraged us to take time to learn and experience everything we could. It was a major highlight of our trip and worth the modest cost.
He then took us to other places in Aberdeenshire that we would not have seen otherwise, always adding historical information as we went. We didn't see everything on the proposed list, and that was OK.
In the end, Malcolm made this day the experience of a lifetime. We are planning to return for another visit and expect to ask Malcolm to help us repeat the experience and see the rest of the sights in the area.Written 27 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had a friendly tour guide who made it possible for us to discover around Aberdeenshire. The Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve has quite diverse landscapes. A memorable experience with lots of local history and some great food.Written 21 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rachelDunbar, UK45 contributionsWe are so glad we downloaded the VoiceMap app and bout this tour for £3.77 which could be loaded onto both of our phones using the 1 code. Stonehaven is a beautiful place with more history than I realised.
At the end it takes you to the war memorial, there is a short steep incline then it becomes a gradual incline but if you can manage it please go as the views are worth it. Donnottar Castle is there too just a little further on.
Happy tourists 😀Written 10 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
