Mike is a keen enthusiast of Scottish History, primarily Medieval and Military History. Some subjects of interest include Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Old Edinburgh, Castles, Battlefields, Highlands, Clans, Jacobites, and enjoys telling the story of Nessie! Mike would be happy to take you on a tour of the Highlands, Lowlands or Scottish Borders telling these tales and taking in the breathtaking landscape at the same time.

Although not originally from Scotland Mike has always had a deep love for the country. Born and raised in Canada by Scottish parents traditions of the old country were instilled in him as a child. Since a very young age Mike has travelled to Scotland to see his relatives and explore the country. Later in life deciding to live here proudly calling Scotland his "Hame"!

This was an excellent tour with a knowlegeable guide who accompanied us throughout the tour. We travelled in a private minibus with a competent driver. I can highly recommend the daytour as we saw a lot and learned about Scottish history. „

This is a must do tour! Micheal, our guide was informative, personable, engaging and accommodating. We would highly recommend the tour! There was so much important and significant history of Scotland contained in the tour, things that I never imagined! WELL WORTH THE EXPENSE!  „

My husband, daughter and I had the pleasure of going on this tour. Mike O'Rourke was absolutely wonderful. He adjusted our trip based on our interests and was so knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend using this service. We got to see Scotland in a much more personal way than with a larger group tour. We would do it again without hesitation.

An outstanding trip! Considering my disastrous rail journey up to Scotland, Mike simply changed the trip to be in reverse order so I didn't miss a thing and on top of that, included some extras for an activity packed 3 days. I found Mike very amiable and professional, always keen to ensure I was having a good time without being pushy but always ensuring we kept our tight schedule. Particularly impressive was his knowledge of Scotland and its history, developed through his personal interest and enthusiasm, and it was a pleasure to be in his company for the 3 days - I have no hesitation in recommending him and will most certainly be booking a follow up trip with him! „

We had a great time on our Private Tour. Mike was very open to last minute changes in our itinerary and did his best to make sure we saw everything there was to see. I highly recommend Go Scotland Tours.

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Mike, was excellent. He catered to us and made sure we did what we wanted to do and saw what we wanted to see. My husband and I honestly could not have had a better experience. The tours we booked with you were everything we could have hoped for and more. Thank you for sharing your good people, knowledge and beautiful Scotland with us! We loved every minute of it!
