5.00Nicky was absolutely fabulous!! Super entertaining and amazing tour guide. Really safe driver and she cracks some good jokes. We saw some beautiful mountains and Loch Ness was stunning. 🤩 It is definitely worth the £££. It was about 12 hours in total but really didn’t feel that long as we had multiple stops. Would 10/10 recommend to anybody, Nicky is an absolute shining star 🌟

5.00Nicky was our guide on this Highlands tour. Her kindness and especially how much fun she was for 11 hours. His comments on the history of Scotland in the Highlands told with much sentiment made him special. Thank you so much Nicky.

5.00Scott is knowledgeable, responsive, warm and with a great sense of humor, you will like him to be your guide as soon as you get on his bus. He gave us a heads up what we would see just in time to get our camera ready, played well-selected beautiful Scottish music when we were resting, provided extra information for us to explore more at the end of the tour, and finally made us love Scotland, esp. the Highlands! He is impeccable!
Wonderful day!
