Traveler reviews
Wonderful!! Absolutely the best single day Scottish Highlands tour!!
Absolutely wonderful experience of the Scottish highlands!! Mari was an above & beyond guide/driver! She was professional, charming, and an excellent driver. She made the experience so enjoyable and provided all the information one could require. Feeding the hairy coos, seeing the 3 sisters, and the (optional, at an additional cost) boat cruise of Loch Ness. She was also an absolute gem of tour guide and a sweetheart of a person. Truthfully an amazing experience! <3
Uncomfortably Hot Bus and Poor Customer Service
Although Edinburgh is generally cold, today we went on a tour to the Highlands, and the temperature inside the bus was unbearably hot. The driver refused to turn on the air conditioning. Every time someone asked him to do so, he would question the request instead of simply adjusting the temperature. Hot air was also coming out from underneath the seats, making the situation even worse. Everyone on the bus was complaining about the heat, but the driver completely ignored our concerns. It was a very uncomfortable experience, and unfortunately, it negatively affected our enjoyment of the tour. A tour company should ensure that passengers travel comfortably, regardless of the weather outside.
Brendan to the rescue! Made a great trip even better!
BRENDAN SAVED OUR WHOLE DAY! we had an incredible tour in the highlands but Brendan was really the highlight. His constant humor and endless knowledge made the stretches of driving feel much more fun and engaging than what could have felt like hours-long slogs. His personal connection to the highlands and passion for the area and the history comes through in full force. More than that, he solved a small seating problem for us with tact, ingenuity and at his own personal effort and it truly made our entire day. We are eternally grateful to him for an unforgettable day! Thank you Brendan for the best day of our whole trip!!! Brendan for president!!
100% recommend!
Myself and my mum had an AMAZING time on the Loch Ness Highlands Tour with our wonderful tour guide Gary. The tour bus was really comfortable and Gary was the most amazing host and guide. He was so entertaining, informative and even arranged a little game on the way back to Edinburgh. The scenery in the Highlands was absolutely exceptional and both myself and my mum loved every single second. 100% recommend. Thank you Gary for a wonderful tour of the Highlands.
Fun tour of Scottish Highlands
Gary was an excellent guide, great storyteller, very knowledgeable and friendly. The Scottish music playlists were perfect.
