5.00This trip to the Highlands with my family was amazing! Special thanks to our guide Colin. Because it was a very lucky day, with just two of us on board, Colin gave us the VIP treatment of a "private charter." He was very professional, funny and he took good care of us. The scenery was beyond words, but Colin's warm service was the highlight of the trip. Thank you, Colin! It is highly recommended.
Wonderful, Fun, and Informative Tour

5.00Our tour guide Tony was sure to show us beautiful views and important features of the Scottish Highlands. The bus was comfortable and the tour didn't feel too long as there were many oppurtunities to get off and look around. All in all it was a great day, that we recommend for sure!
An excellent wet, wild and windy day

5.00It was such an amazing tour! My husband and I booked this trip as a part of our honeymoon, and we were not dissapointed. Our guide, Tony, was so joyful, polite and full of information, putting on scottish music to go with the views and telling us many interesting facts (we'll never foget who invented the pin number and where is he from! 🤣). We made great memories, from sipping coffee while admiring a foggy Loch Lomond, to the Loch Ness cruise, which I recommend, that had a separate fee that we payed with the help of Tony. We made many stops along the trip where we could take some breath-taking photos of Glencoe, and in the end we had a very very special surprise in Pertshire which was the highlight of our day, but I won't spoil it and you're going to have to see it for yourself 😉 Also, there were some mini stops that surprised us in a lovely way, but I won't spoil them :) We also stayed on our schedule, made toilet stops when needed, had a nice stay in the tour van, and Tony always made sure that the temperatura inside the van was to our liking and that the music he put on was at a confortable volume for us. I highly recommend this experience, we enjoyed it so much !
A must do

5.00This was a great tour. The guide, Stewart, was friendly and informative but he didn’t talk too much either, allowing time just to enjoy the scenery, and there was plenty of scenery to enjoy. There were also several photo stops along the way which I really appreciated. I did the Loch Ness cruise and highly recommend booking this ticket as an extra on the tour. I couldn’t imagine coming to Scotland and not doing this tour. Highly recommended.
Nice option for a quick survey of Scotland's highlands and lakes

4.00A nice overview of the area (don't expect to go anywhere deep or stay for long). The only thing that would be great to include is visiting a farm with coos. Oh, and a long stop at a souvenir shop was too much, a waste of time really—better return to the town faster. The driver was great, though. John was the name.
Unforgettable day in the Highlands

5.00What an amazing day, starting with being met by our tour guide Chris looking very smart in his kilt and jacket, and receiving a gift bag for our birthday girl .. lovely touch. Chris was very knowledgeable about everything Scottish and joined in with our banter with great humour. Can we book Chris for next year please 😃🤣 Only one thing about the trip we would change is to see more of Loch Ness .. we would have liked to have a November paddle ! The Gingerbread girls had a day to remember. I/we ❤️ Chris 🤣 10/10 would definately recommend.
Wonderful trip

5.00We traveled by train from Dumbarton to Glasgow queen street, then a quick taxi to the bus station in order to do the tour. Our driver, Colin, quickly checked us in at 0730. There were 8 of us on a 16 passenger bus. We had a lot of space. One of the perks of doing the tour in November. Colin was very knowledgeable of the areas we drove through, sharing the history of Scotland. He also stopped several times along the way for us to take pictures. The scenery was breathtaking. The only two negatives was the rain and no wifi on the bus, but most times the rain would slow down or stop while we were stopped and having no wifi meant you actually had to socialize with others. . Lovely experience. I would recommend this tour.
