Traveler reviews
Highlands tour with Mari
5 star tour! Mari was an amazing host and driver. She made the trip fun and informative of Scottish History, pointing out locations along the way! All spots were interesting and time was ample for each spot. I would definitely book another trip on the bus with Mari!!!!!
A very fun day with Hairy Coo
The bus was clean and had a charging port (really important for such a long trip). The driver (Colin) was really funny and friendly. The amount of stops and the time we spent at each of them was more than enough. Overall everything was as expected and better!!
Trip that’s not worth the money
We had big expectations of this tour. However, we ended up being very disappointed with what we got for our money. The only positive thing was our drive guide Ross, who’s commentary was really great, both entertaining and informative. However, the rest consisted of couple of stops where people got off the bus just to get back in 15 minutes. This was okay as you got to at least see a bit of the Scottish Highlands. The worst was the visit of Loch Ness itself. We didn’t book the boat trip (which was extra £23 per person), so we ended up in a super small village with 2 hours time and with nothing to do at all. There was only one viewpoint of the Loch and no other option to walk around so a person is just forced to sit in a Café/Restaurant. Overall, for what we paid, was basically just sightseeing from a bus window…
Great time, wonderful guide
Great tour, would definitely recommend. Bob made the tour very enjoyable, despite the difficult weather that day
Long day but it's worth it
Mike was so knowledgeable and friendly. His humour makes it worth while. It was a long and scenic journey to the highlands, however, with Mike at the wheel, there were no dull moments. Amazing view of the highlands, and the boat cruise is a must try.
