5.00Steven B was a great guide, informative and funny! Views were stunning, a long day but well worth it. It was windier than expected so make sure to bring an extra layer.
If you do nothing else in Edinburgh, TAKE THIS TOUR!

5.00Steven B (Best 😂) was absolutely incredible! He was funny, informative and kept pace ALL DAY! I cannot believe that we saw as much as we did on this tour. Pictures don’t do it justice. His stories and music enhanced the experience and made time go by so quickly. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!
Beautiful, lots of views

5.00We came across this tour after another provider canceled. It was worth it. A friendly team consisting of Cloe and Craig entertained us for 12 hours in a great and entertaining way. The bus was good and comfortable. The photo spots were breathtaking. Plenty of information and good storytelling. Thank you so much for a good and safe trip.

5.00Craig was a very good guide and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The scenery and views along the way were absolutely stunning and as this was also our wedding anniversary we especially enjoyed a glass of Prosecco on the cruise on Loch Ness, would highly recommend this tour
Solo travel looking for day out of Edinburgh

5.00This tour was incredible! I’m a solo traveler in my 20s who was looking for a day trip to get a taste of Scotland outside of Edinburgh, and I got exactly what I wanted. The highlands are breath taking, and there were several more stops and photo opportunities than I expected there to be. As someone who worries about how frequently I have bathroom access, this tour was no problem at all. I opted not to do the boat and castle at Loch ness and quite enjoyed my time, so if you’re trying to budget don’t fret you will still enjoy yourself. Steven B was an amazing guide, with humorous and insightful commentary. I enjoyed the bits of Scottish music we got to listen to as well. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, though children may not find it to be the most interesting and may struggle on the bus.
Awesome travel and tour

5.00This tour included a trip to loch ness, where we learnt a lot about the loch, its surroundings and its history. The cruise was great, abd we also got to explore the castle. We also travelled to Glencoe, and the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. We saw and fed Highland cows(which was optional if your not an animal person) and passed the Kelpies and Ben Nevis. Overall, I would recommend this tour for everyone who's looking for a great tour which covers Scotland's must see icons. Also a shout out to our unreal tour guide Hugh, who explained everything impeccably, entertaining and informing us throughout the tour.
Amazing tour of the Highlands and Lochness.
