The trip was a great success, but unfortunately, we didn't manage to see the Loch Ness Monster.
Lovely scenery of the Scottish Highlands and our guide Stewart was knowledgeable and friendly.
Fantastic trip that shows the highlands with the comments and explanations of Stuart & Caitlin that help to know and understand the scottish history.
We were really happy with the tour and had a great day. Stuart was an excellent guide - he was super engaging, had so much history and information to share on the drive, and answered all of our questions. There were plenty of stops and it felt like we were at each location for a suitable amount of time. The Loss Ness cruise cost extra but it wasn't too expensive and would have left us at the stop for too long had we not have done the 50-minute cruise. Overall, we enjoyed the trip!
Awesome day trip. Fergie was awesome!! Super knowledgeable about the regions and nations history, very entertaining, and just an overall really good guy. Highly recommend the tour and Fergie!
It was good experience and I enjoyed. Stuart and fergie good tour guide 👍🏻
We had an absolute blast with Stuart and Fergie!!! They were friendly, informative, and entertaining. We felt safe and comfortable in the bus. We could have never driven any of these places on our own, and Stuart navigated the roads with ease. We learned so much about each stop that we visited. They pointed out so many sights along the way. We love how they integrated songs and facts into the drive as well. Thanks to this tour, we know that we would love to come back to Fort William, Fort Augustus, and Pitlochry someday.
Excelente experience. The guides, Stuart and Fergie, were very friendly and knowledgeable. They explained everything about the places we’ve been and kept a good conversation over a range of topics. Adequate stops to take pictures and use the toilet or have a snack. It felt like we were on a roadtrip with old friends, laughing and enjoying the ride, while learning a lot about Scottish history and culture. The boat cruise in Loch Ness went smoothly, you have to purchase the tickets separately, but they already have them and it’s not necessary to take any queue. The final stop at Pitlochry was very pleasant, only wanted to stay more time. Maybe one hour instead of 45 minutes on this stop would allow a little more time to enjoy a burger and a pint without any hurry. Amazing experience overall!
An absolutely spectacular and entertaining tour! Stuart and Fergie are every bit as knowledgeable as you would want them to be, friendly, personable, and drove like absolute pros! Everything ran like clockwork, the bus was clean and comfortable, and the sightseeing stops were incredible.
Stuart and Fergie were super informative and fun!Would use them for any tour!
