Great tour

Graeme was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and funny, kept us entertained during the driving parts of the trips with great pieces of information about each site. Spent more than enough time for each location. Did the boat tour at Loch Ness and that was fun. Will definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Sun, rain, super great tour 👋😀☀️

Super cool tour! Our guide Graham was incredibly nice, had great knowledge, and was very likable. He took us very well through the day 😆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. This tour is highly recommended, even though it lasts 11.5 hours! Sit back and enjoy 🙋🏻‍♀️ We were very lucky with the weather; at every stop, the sun was shining, even though it had been raining otherwise. Luck is part of it ☀️😀

Driver great - Tour cancelations depressing

Our driver K was top of the line (he rates 5 stars) the tour itself was really good until we got to the Coos - that experience was a joke. Very poorly done and oversold yet under performed. Plus getting canceled TWICE and only able to reschedule one due to our schedule was a really depressing situation. We planned this tours months in advance and worked our Glasgow trip around them. Thank you for the refund but no thanks to ruining our plans.

Great day trip from Glasgow

It was an awesome day. We started right on time, and did not feel rushed all day. The bus was clean, comfortable and spacious. Our guide (Keshava) was knowledgeable and kind, providing several interesting stories and answering many of our questions. It’s a great way to see the highlands and lochs in an approachable and extremely accessible way. Every stop and the overall schedule was well explained and un-intimidating. Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing day out

Scott, our tour guide, was incredible! He made us all feel comfortable, and we had many great laughs. We also did lots of lovely extra stops on the way to Fort Augustus with many opportunities to take in the views and take photos. Scott also made sure to point out things along the way and told us about the history of the area. My favorite bit was all the information about the clans. This tour was so much more than we expected and we will be thinking about it for a very long time. Thank you so much!!!
