Itinéraire
Votre visite d’une journée du Loch Ness au départ d’Inverness part à 8h45 et suit le magnifique canal calédonien jusqu’à la source du Loch Ness. Long de 24 miles et profond de plus de 700 pieds, le loch est le plus grand en volume des îles britanniques et est surtout célèbre pour ses observations du monstre du Loch Ness, affectueusement connu sous le nom de « Nessie ». Nous passons la majeure partie de la matinée au Loch Ness, ce qui vous laisse tout le temps de faire de la chasse à Nessie ! Notre premier arrêt est le château d'Urquhart (en option), ici vous aurez la possibilité de visiter la structure du 13ème siècle, avec beaucoup de temps pour explorer la ruine, profiter du centre d'accueil et admirer la vue et l'atmosphère du loch le plus célèbre d'Écosse.
Ensuite, nous nous rendons à Fort Augustus, le point le plus éloigné de votre visite du Loch Ness. Nous avons le temps de nous arrêter ici pour profiter d'une croisière relaxante d'une heure en bateau (en option) à travers le Loch Ness avec Cruise Loch Ness. Ensuite, profitez d'un déjeuner dans la petite ville; avec une population de seulement 650 personnes, c'est un endroit idéal pour se détendre et regarder les bateaux qui passent par le canal calédonien.
Après le déjeuner, notre visite du Loch Ness commencera son voyage de retour à Inverness, s'arrêtant aux chutes de Foyers. La majestueuse cascade de 165 pieds était une retraite préférée du poète Rabbie Burns, et est vraiment à couper le souffle. Profitez de tout le temps nécessaire pour vous imprégner de l'atmosphère avant de poursuivre la visite jusqu'au village de Dores pour une visite à Dores Beach sur les rives est du Loch Ness.
Passez un court moment sur le rivage parsemé de galets avant de monter à bord de l'autocar pour un dernier voyage de retour vers Inverness où se termine votre excursion d'une journée au Loch Ness.

A very nice experience. Brendon, the guide, is very kind and explain very well. We had an excellent day.
We had a fantastic tour with Brendon, who was an incredible guide and explained everything so thoroughly and engagingly. The itinerary was absolutely beautiful, showcasing breathtaking stops throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and seamless experience!
Travelled from London to Inverness for a short (and last minute) weekend trip to see the Highlands. Booked this trip the night before the tour. Fiona Campbell was our tour guide and she was absolutely brilliant from beginning to end. She was approachable, friendly, informative, but most importantly clear on expectations (i.e. time to return to bus at each stop, and conduct on bus) which meant that everyone was able to make the most of their time at each location and be considerate of each others enjoyment. It was me and my mother's first time visiting the Highlands and staying in Scotland. Pickup and dropoff was easy to find, many destinations were visited that would never happen if we arranged it independently. Would definitely recommend to get the highlights around Loch Ness, and you'll be well looked after if you have Fiona as your guide!
I’ll start with one of the last things our amazing guide, Fiona, asked us: “Please give us your honest feedback about anything we did wrong or anything you didn’t like, as this will help us improve our services.” Well, my answer is simple: we loved everything about this tour! And the best part was definitely Fiona herself. She was incredibly friendly, clear, always smiling, and also a very, very good driver - touch wood! I actually had a rental car in Inverness, but I wanted a hassle-free day trip without worrying about narrow roads, parking, navigation, or driving on the left side of the road. This tour was exactly what I was looking for. It covered all the main spots without ever feeling rushed, and everything was very well organized. Having Fiona as our guide made the experience even better. Her tips, advice, and knowledge throughout the day were really valuable and added a lot to the trip. And by the way, the mini tour buses are very comfortable and clean! Thank you for an amazing day. Highly recommended and a special thank you to Fiona!
I loved our tour! Plenty of stops, beautiful views and plenty of places to have a snack. Fiona was great, I enjoyed her storytelling and she provided clear instructions on stops and times.
This daytrip was fantastic for many reasons not only to do with beautiful sights. Out tourguide and driver Liall was truly amazing: a 100percent both highlander and „educator“ of highland history and culture (in the best sense) eager to show us more than renowned highlights, including insider knowledge! Great sense of humor, safe and calm driver, super playlist on board, all very well balanced! We are thrilled and thankful!
Our day with Fiona was perfect. A beautiful, well-organized excursion and a guide who listened to us.
Our guide Fiona was not less than brilliant, and the sitings was lovely as hoped. The wife and I were even blessed by nice weather and was it a glimse of Nessie…. I think it was
I was traveling around Scotland this week with my daughter who really wanted to go to the Isle. Being an American who was finding some of the driving a challenge, we decided that a tour would be the perfect way to go. Our hotel recommended Timberbush and we were not disappointed! What a great day! It’s a really good way to see a lot of that area in one day! Ben was an amazing driver, and had great weight and knowledge of the area! He loved, sharing the history, the challenges, and the trials of the people of the Scottish Highlands. And all without the stress of driving on the left side and on one lane roads! He even let me drive the bus, lol! Just kidding! A great trip and great people! I highly recommend this company when you’re in Scotland!
Doreen eas a fantastic guide, and an a very capable and competent driver of our bus. Unfortunately, she had to back-track about an hour to pick up a foursome of guests who couldn't manage to get to the departure point in Inverness on time, but despite how tshe obviously felt, managed to maintain a professional demeanor. Her skills behind the wheel were as impressive as any I’ve met, and far superior to my own skills in nation where you all drive on the wrong side of the road. That's a joke, btw.... given how many people are rolling on UK roads at any given time, the road system is FAR superior to our in Canada, and Doreen navigated it skillfully. Her knowledge of the area and local custom was also spot on. I would happily entrust my family and I to her skills again. Cheers!
