The Loch Ness Centre
This is a 5 star visitor attraction and retail complex. Loch Ness is already the most famous lake in the world but our aim is to make it better understood. This is achieved through a fully audio visually guided 35 minute tour. The presentation is theatrical in style and integrates the real tools and archive footage from four decades of research. The facts are objectively explained and whilst keeping the mystery centre stage, we place it in the context of the loch's very unusual properties. Thus we are endorsed by Scottish Natural Heritage as "A portal to the unique natural phenomenon that is Loch Ness". We offer a huge range of retail onsite and boat cruises on Loch Ness in the summer months. There is also a large cafe and restaurant attached to the site.

5.00A great day out. Our guide and driver Roger was very knowledgeable. He even changed the itinerary slightly to avoid the crowds and we saw Cawdor Castle which was fascinating
Great tour!

5.00We had a fantastic time touring with Johnny! He was not only an excellent and accommodating guide but also incredibly thoughtful — he even offered to take us to places that weren’t originally part of the tour, just to make our experience more special. To our surprise, Johnny is also a Scottish country singer! So if you enjoy a bit of country music while exploring, he’s your guy. The tour felt relaxed, fun, and personal from start to finish. Highly recommended!

4.00Tour guide was very accommodating and kind. VW bus for transportation which was clean and comfortable. Great way to see the sites. If you are a history buff and wanting the history of the area, this is not for you. Basic transportation with nice conversation.
