Reagan was our guide...he waited for us to disembark from our cruise ship since that timing was questionable. He explained our tour route and asked if there was anything we would specifically like to see. We agreed on a route and set off on the day's journey. We were very comfortable in the Mercedes van that was equipped with air conditioning on this warm day. Reagan was a fantastic tour guide having only been in the country less than 20 years. We loved the stops we made, full of historical details and beautiful scenery. Wish we could have had more time there, it went by so fast! Loved Inverness, the stop at the Robertson's Farm with the hairy coos, and the view of the castle ruins and Loch Ness....don't hesitate to book this flexible tour for your group!
