Traveler reviews
Amazing day!
Amazing day!!! Highly recommend this trip Arina our guide and Allen our driver were both wonderful. Glen Coe is gorgeous. So worth it to get out of the city for a day.
Lovely tour
Big shout out to Terri who made this experience a thousand times better with her witty words and her dad jokes! Overall, it’s been a long but rewarding journey. Would definitely recommend to all tourists coming to Scotland :)
Wonderful trip, Scotland...
Wonderful trip, Scotland is beautiful and best people ever also worth to visit - I gave 5 stars *****
A whirlwind and few stops. On the bus most of the time.
We didn't love this tour. It is a lot of miles going at high speeds. Our driver, Louise, told great stories but she would point to things and we drove by so fast that we didn't get to see let alone take pictures. I understand that there are a lot of miles to drive but we barely stopped anywhere except for places with bathrooms. Many times she said it was too crowded so we just didn't stop. I felt like all It was was a bus ride. We didn't know the Loch Ness cruise was not included but we were able to go on it. It was the only place we really stopped. We would not recommend this. Maybe another tour without the Loch Ness stop so we could see more Highlands.
Lack of comfort on the bus...
Lack of comfort on the bus; the driver drives too fast on the small roads. The first stop to see the hairy cows is at a highway rest area. At the back of the parking lot, only 4 cows, the presentation is very exaggerated in the brochure!
