Loch Ness

Our guide Cameron was informative and friendly with a great sense of humor. He made the day fun and educational. The pick up location was centrally located and easy to find. Our stops along the lake were beautiful and also allowed us to get out and stretch our legs occasionally. This tour was a great way to see the lake, castle, and learn about the area.

Complete Loch Ness

Excellent tour. Great stories, waterfalls, castles and boat ride on Loch Ness. The only thing missing was Nessie.

Wonderful

This was an amazing trip.... We packed a lot in,including Dores and Falls of Foyers, Invermoriston, Drumnadrochit for lunch, Urquhart Castle and a cruise on Loch Ness. Our tour guide was amazing at navigating and providing commentary and was a wonderful trip.

This was one of the...

This was one of the highlights of my Scotland trip. As a longtime lover of Loch Ness and the legends surrounding it, I was very excited to find this trip. Our guide was fantastic and I learned so much more than I thought possible in just one day. This is a must do trip!

Loch Ness - you did not disappoint

A relaxed and fantastic day exploring Loch Ness with our guide Ryan. Stunning weather making for great views. Just enough stops to stretch the legs and enough in each place. Recommended
