The Hop on Hop off bus is an ideal way to see the city highlights. If there is an attraction you wish too visit you can hop off to visit, have a relaxing lunch then hop back on and continue the tour. Sit on the top of the bus for the best views, weather permitting! Affordable fun, entertaining and educational! The guides are knowledgeable and were easy to understand. Other languages besides English are available via headphones.
Disappointed

Well, for one thing , we were given false information about where the pick up was. If we had known that it was not right outside our boat. (Like they insisted it was) Due to that we were unable to make the bus tour and lost out on our $$$! If we knew that, we would not have Booked with them. That little detail is carrying over to our other tours booked with Viator. And they refuse reimburse us even when we try to in advance. Very poor service to on the contact with them. I would highly avoid this tour company. As it is costing us hundreds of $$$. Sincerely disappointed David & Joann Pawid We definitely will filling a complaint with the BBB. In both countries.
Great Half Day Trip out of Inverness

A wonderful half day trip to explore Loch Ness and a bit of the Highlands. Our tour guide and bus driver, Linda, was absolutely fantastic. She was cheery, upbeat, and shared loads of information as we drove along. The boat ride was scenic and the view coming up to the castle is terrific. The time there goes really fast so plan accordingly! We really appreciate a different route home via the bus to see more of the beautiful countryside. Great value for the time and money.
