Scam

A scam, and you see the Highlands while passing by; Lochness is a remote hotel where they lock you in a souvenir shop for 2 hours.

Operator response

Fantastic day trip!

This tour was fantastic! The van was comfortable, and there were plenty of stops for restroom breaks and snacks, which made the journey very enjoyable. Of course, the main attractions were absolutely stunning. Our tour guide, Anne, was kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience even better. If we had more time in Scotland, we would definitely book another tour. Highly recommend!
