2.00The trip to the highlands and lock ness is a wonderful idea, they are must-see places. The route was well chosen, the roads were good, but our guide took care to order lunch in advance, without having any details about the type of food, and to charge us in advance the payment for the cruise on Lake Ness. Although we were in the same place with the whole group, we were eating outside in the sun, he simply forgot to inform us about the boat ride and also forgot to return our money. It was extremely unpleasant. It's a shame that the efforts of the company that organized a superb tour were destroyed by such problems. Until getting off the bus, I waited for the money, explanations and possibly an apology, probably it was too busy, or... to think that I was from Romania and..
Beautiful trip with a wonderful guide

5.00Lothian Motorcoach with Scott as the guide and Cameron as the driver....this is the way to explore! Lothian provided excellent service and a comfortable coach for the trip which ended up nearly 14 hours. It was expertly driven by Cameron, who never made the passengers feel uneasy about the challenging terrain and roadways. Excellent and professional skills are needed and provided to navigate city streets, narrow country roads, challenging mountain switchbacks, and narrow bridges. Cameron is excellent. The guide, Scott Shaw, is by far the most entertaining and informative guide I've ever experienced and we travel quite a bit. Scott is excellent providing just the right balance of information, comedy, and entertaining facts that made this adventure tops to consider. I cannot recommend Scott and Cameron enough, please do yourself a favor and add their professional skills to this already beautiful and amazing sightseeing event. The trip itself is everything as advertised. Breathtaking views of everything mentioned and more. There are plenty of photo ops and stops along the way with interesting facts and tidbits to flesh out your photos and experiences. So much to see and such little time! Please take my advice and book this trip with these folks, they are amazing.
Great speed version of exploring the Highlands

5.00We had Scott as our tour guide, and he was great! Throughout (basically the entirety of) the bus ride + trip, he shared interesting tidbits of history and stories, and was very attentive to each group. Would highly recommend and is a great experience if you don't have much time to explore the Highlands. If you do have several days though, it'd be much nicer to go on a several day tour since you have more time to explore the area, and won't be on the bus for as large a portion of the trip.
Amazing views
