Fregie our guide was very nice, the entire trip went very smooth and comfortable, highly recommend to use Stewart Tours from Scotland. Very punctual and covered all the spots for our trip.
Such a wonderful day out, so much to see and take in. Loved the mix of history and music on the bus from Stuart S our driver, a funny guy which made the day more enjoyable as this was our honeymoon trip… certainly not one we will forget
Truly so special! Our guide Stuart was so knowledgeable and fun! The bus was really comfortable and being able to just look out the huge windows and enjoy was top notch. Sailing on Loch Ness was a highlight for sure but each stop we made brought the vistas you dream of when traveling to Scotland. When I come back I will definitely be choosing another tour with Stewart. Thank you!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Stuart and Caitlin and this tour! They were both incredibly knowledgeable about all things Scotland, including but not limited to whiskey recommendations, and the vast history of Scotland. I absolutely recommend booking this tour for those interested in seeing fantastic views and learning all about them.
Great tour. Although it was 12 hours, it really didn't feel like it. We didn't feel it was a long day. There are lots of stops in beautiful places. Lots of photo opportunities. Fergie was a great guide, he made it fun and he is very knowledgeable.
We had an absolutely fantastic day touring the Scottish Highlands, Glencoe, and Loch Lomond. The scenery was breathtaking from start to finish, with stunning mountains, beautiful lochs, and some of the most picturesque landscapes we’ve ever seen. Glencoe was especially memorable, with its dramatic valleys and incredible history. Loch Lomond was equally beautiful, offering peaceful views and plenty of opportunities for amazing photos. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to feed the famous Highland cows (“hairy coos”). They were friendly, adorable, and made for a unique Scottish experience that we won’t forget. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, and made the journey enjoyable with interesting stories and local history along the way. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and provided the perfect introduction to Scotland’s natural beauty. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Scotland. It was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip!
Fergie was very cool and a professional. We enjoyed the experience very much 😉
Having never been on a tour like this and never really wanted to, I found this an amazing experience. I cannot speak too highly about Caitlin who kept us entertained and informed throughout the day.
What a truly fantastic experience! Caitlin was an incredible tour guide. So friendly & knowledgeable. It was great to hear so many stories and legends of Scotland’s history. We pulled over for quite a few scenic photo ops and Caitlin was kind enough to take photos for us if we wanted. Fortunately, we had a day of amazing weather which really elevated the experience. Additionally, Caitlin played some really great Scottish music that is bound to end up on my “On Repeat” playlist. I went on the optional Loch Ness boat tour which was nice to be out on the water of the loch but don’t know if I’d go on it again if I were to go back. If you don’t go, there are plenty of small restaurants and shops to peruse so you definitely won’t be bored. I would highly recommend this tour! The value is so worth the experience!
Interesting and fun trip around the highlands. Good conversation with the friendly tour guide Stewart who had a great knowledge of the history of all the landmarks seen.
