Fantastic day out with exploring. Dusty was a great driver and host. The Alnwick Castle is well worth the ticket, highly recommend.

We had an amazing time on this tour, the places were beautiful and the bus comfy. But the best part was actually our tour guide and driver Dusty whose historical bits and sense of humor made this tour unforgettable. So even the ride to these places was fun.

Great day with Dusty in England visiting Bamburgh and Alnwick castles. Dusty is very knowledgeable and presented history with humour.

The tour was pretty cool. Bamburgh and its castle on the beach were beautiful to watch and a good first stop. Of course Alnwick castle was amazing. Unfortunateley the ticket prices for the castle are not included in the tour price and it costs about 20£/person so you have to be aware about that (we were not but we just had to read properly😅). The tourguide Tim was really awesome, he talked about the history of Scotland and Edinburgh, the plants and wildlife and sights we drove by and you could really tell he knows what hes talking about and that he did it with passion. It was a pleasure driving with you, thank you.
