Luss

Leaving Dumbarton, it’s a short drive to your first view of ‘The Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond’. Those words are from the Scottish Folk song “You take the High Road and I’ll take the Low Road”. Loch Lomond has the largest surface area of any lake on the British mainland, It’s over 23 miles long. Just 10 minutes later we stop at Luss, one of Scotland's most popular villages to visit, Walk past the pretty sandstone and slate cottages to the pier for wonderful views up and down Loch Lomond and across the loch to the mountains.

The entire day was filled with one memorable moment after another. If I had to pick just one, it would be the view from Rest and Be Thankful as well as the seafood lunch at Loch Fyne. Mike had such fun facts about each stop and had all the answers to any questions that we had. He went above and beyond the outlined tour and even took photos so that we could both be in the shots. I’ve done a lot of tours over the years and this is one of the very best. Highly recommend. Thank you Mike for giving my daughter and I a day to remember.

This was by far the most enjoyable excursion of our 28 day cruise aboard Regal Princess. Mike is LEGENDARY in our eyes. He was the consummate professional and entertaining too. A wealth of knowledge of the Highlands and surrounding towns. We would most highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in customizing their excursion experience and Mike is our recommendation hands down.
