Great trip! Great value!

Chris was the perfect guide. Full of interesting, fun facts. Very accommodating. I would recommend Stewart Tours and Chris to anyone come to Scotland (especially other Canadians)

How Could You Pass This Up!?!?!

This was absolutely THE BEST way to explore with a group! From the knowledge of our tour guide, Chris, to his hilarious jokes/banter, and teaching us tourists a wee bit of Scottish slang. It was an amazing time, full of care and intention every bus stop along the way. This trip to Scotland is my birthday gift to myself, and with this being my first day in the country, I can say, because of this experience, I am very happy to have chosen to be in this amazing country!

Excellent Tour of Scottish Highlands

Chris was a phenomenal guide. All of the stops were wonderful! My only suggestion for is to limit the time at the final stop and make it a 15 minute bathroom stop.

Great Guide!

I really enjoyed the experience overall, especially Leon our driver and guide. He brought such a fantastic energy, commentary and cadence to the entire trip from beginning to end. I genuinely think that helped elevate the entire journey and I'm really glad we had him as our driver. As for the overall Loch Ness and Highlands trip, I believe it was worth it just to see parts of Scotland we otherwise would not have been able to. The Highlands are truly spectacular and that alone was worth the admission, to see the scenery and feel the wind of some fo the most beautiful landscapes on planet Earth.
