Absolutely magical trip to Loch Ness! Very affordable and well worth it. Left early in the morning which really worked in our benefit as we ended up beating the crowds. Our driver, Anthony, was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about making sure we had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend taking this tour!

Good experience. A quick recap of the highlands and Glencoe. Although some other highlands tours have covered a lot more.
Wonderful experiences but have room for improvement

Long day trip. Little bit crowded. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but his strong English accent was little bit difficult to hear clearly. He also recommended us some food shops. Worth to take Loch Ness cruise at our own expenses because of mysterious legend. The scenery of the highlands was super breathtaking and beautiful. Most of the times spent on the bus and only little time allocated in each location except in Loch Ness. Also, we did not take adequate times to explore the last stop-Pitlochry.

Greatly enjoyed this tour, our driver Jack W was brilliant very informative and used music to accompany some of the history and story's as we drove through the scenery of the Highlands. The additional cruise on Loch Ness (booked on the day through the driver) was very informative too. The stop for the Highland cows with an opportunity to feed them was very good. My first time in Scotland but hopefully not my last and I will definitely use this company again.
Great tour, fantastic...

What a brilliant day this was! And a huge reason for this fantastic experience was the man, the myth, the ginger legend: our guide Jack. The Scottish Highlands are incredible in and of themselves, but Jack provided the perfect mix for this 12-hour trip: information and history, humour, breaks, practical tips for our different stops, flexibility, and a generally positive and relaxed atmosphere. This all worked because he seemed to be genuinely passionate about his stunning working environment and interested in giving us the best possible experience of this beautiful place. By the end of our tour he even weathered a literal storm, but Amy was no match for his driving skills! I recommend this tour to anyone who likes at least one of the following things: beautiful nature, history, whiskey, music, highland cattle, hunting for the Loch Ness monster. Thanks again for this amazing day - we will be back in Scotland. That trip to the Isle of Skye sounded very tempting!
