From Lochs to Coos in the Scottish Highlands

5.00John was an excellent guide on our day-long tour of the Highlands. In addition to being a superb driver, which could be tricky on the narrow/windy roads, John was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. He had interesting and relevant stories and music for each of our day's adventures. He kept the group together and engaged. We packed many and varied activities into the day - ranging from boating across a loch to feeding shaggy, gentle-giant coos (cows). This excursion is very reasonably priced and highly recommended.
Great!

5.00We had a wonderful time with John seeing the countryside of Scotland in a small group. We had the opportunity to learn more about the history of Scotland with the stories explained by our guide. John was lovely and made us feel right at home. The trip began on time (in the morning) and we got back in the evening, just like mentioned in the description. We highly recommend this activity to anyone that would like to explore a bit more of Scotland (and see some hairy coos!). Big shout-out to John which made this trip memorable!
Great experience

Tour with Jenny

5.00Jenny was our guide on our trip to the highlands, and we were very impressed with her! She is a great storyteller and we were very intrigued listening to her explaining the history of Scotland as we drove by beautiful landscapes. Now we feel well educated on Scotlands history, and the long drive between sights went by fast as Jenny elaborated on what could be seen from the window!! We highly recommend!
