5.00Neil was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. He was good at making conversation with people and was humorous. He did however drive a little too fast for my liking as I got carsick, but maybe that’s needed to keep the timeplan. All in all a fantastic tour with some of the best views and landscapes I have ever seen. Thank you!

5.00It’s the best tour I’ve ever made in my life. He’s very handsome, fun and kind. He doesn’t know that, but this was the trip I dreamed about when I was only 5 years, a dream came true thanks to him. I’m really happy because I’ve had the opportunity to meet most histories about Scotland and the Highlands. Brian, thank u for all that you did today! You’re the best and I wish to come back soon.
