That sounds FABULOUS! That's exactly the kind of thing we need.
It's a really cool setup.
Okay, now I'm gonna go look up day tours.
Definitely. I'm sure they have a ton of stuff going out of Inverness.
I still kind of want to go if only because of Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. Hee.
*snerk* It's kinda cool to say you've been to Oxford. And the Pullman thing is a good point - I never really connected the two until you mentioned it!
I actually like the organizational aspects of planning your own trips,
Yeah, it's nice to be able to plan *exactly* what you want to see and how long you stay there. But taking a tour allows you to focus on the seeing more than the how-you're-getting-there (especially when you're dealing with a different language). And having one bus that takes care of all your transportation helps. There's pros and cons to both - just depends on which is more feasible for the situation! That's probably the appeal of the on-off type arrangement - you can spend longer at the places you want to, but other than being at the appointed pick-up spot on time, you don't have to worry about the transportation details.
