Our Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands tour with Stewart Tours was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning views of mountains, lochs, glens, and the spectacular Scottish Highlands. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, bringing the history and legends of the region to life. The pacing of the tour was excellent, giving us plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery and take photographs without feeling rushed. Glencoe was particularly spectacular, and the stories behind the landscape made the experience even more memorable. Loch Ness was every bit as beautiful and atmospheric as we had hoped. The tour was exceptionally well organized, comfortable, and professionally conducted. Our guide also did a wonderful job of adding interesting local stories and humor throughout the journey. This was one of the highlights of our time in Scotland and a wonderful way to experience so much of the Highlands in a single day. I would highly recommend Stewart Tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable Loch Ness and Highlands experience.

I am thankful for the opportunity to have taken the day to experience this tour. This was a spontaneous action which yielded great memories, pictures and interesting nuggets of history. Fergie is a fantastic guide and a great guy. I hope I meet him at a bar one day to talk about life. The sky was clear and we were able to see everything possible. The rain from the morning didn't harm us at all. What a blessing! The bus was comfortable and Fergie's driving exceptional. I enjoyed listening to the variety of music which he played. To think all of this is minutes outside of Glasgow. Do yourself and/or yourselves a solid and book this tour. When I return with my family, we will do it together. Enjoy.
Amazing!! We had Fergie as our guide, he made sure everyone was getting involved and enjoyed lots of jokes along the way, a wealth of knowledge around Scottish history. The stops were great, lovely scenery, we had perfect weather - getting clear views from all our stops! Enjoyed listening to the Scottish music. Fergie really did make our trip, this exceeded our expectations. We couldn't recommend enough.
Stuart was a great guide and gave us so much insight into Scotland and the specific things we saw on the trip. It was well organized and didn’t feel too rushed, would recommend!
A must see experience. The landscape is beautiful. Our guide Caitlyn was amazing. Very knowledgeable with a great selection of Scottish music. Highly recommended.
As a spur of the moment thing, I had an absolute blast. Pick up was super easy, the van was comfy and our driver was fantastic. Considering the length of the tour, it was a well worth the money. The small size of the tour made sure that you just weren’t another body in a large group. I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to get out of the city and explore the countryside for a day. The Loch Ness cruise is definitely worthwhile to take.
