Andrew was our driver, excellent commentary throughout the long day made time fly. Just the perfect level of humour ( not forced or too much), saw more than I thought we would, highly recommend this tour.

A long day but outstanding day. Sean made the day with good information, great wit and his Scottish charm. We saw a part of Scotland so different from that Edinburgh. Highly recommend this tour.

Trip was great but I would prefer more time at the main destination of Loch ness instead of many small stops for photos of mountains or waterfalls or cows

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this day trip. The small group was perfect as we are neurodivergent and get overwhelmed in large crowds. Our guide, Ally P was very knowledgeable and made the experience even better. It is a long day with a lot of time on the bus, so make sure to bring snacks. I highly recommend- the views were amazing!

It’s a long round trip but if scenery is your thing then the trip won’t disappoint. We were lucky to have a brilliant guide, Martin, who made the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
