Knowledgeable and friendly. Cool sights and improvised when needed. Lots of time on the bus but gorgeous the whole way through.

Alex was very knowledgeable and informative, and the tour locations were gorgeous - I would have just liked a little more information when we arrived in Portree to make sure I made the most of the short amount of time there ☺️

Very uncomfortable bus seats and a very long day bouncing in them. Good sites and a very knowledgeable and accommodating driver.

Wonderful tour made even more amazing due to our tour guide, Fiona. She was knowledgeable funny and very helpful! We got to have a couple extra stops and saw the amazing sights of the highlands. Will definitely recommend and come back to this again (especially for Fiona). Only issue is our bus AC broke down so it was extremely hot during the drive. I would have hoped the company send a replacement bus. 12 hours is bright sunlight into a crowded bus leaves very little breathing room. Thankfully nobody was hurt but it could have lead to heat issues/dehydration.
