5.00Angela was very knowledgeable and a safe driver. Beautiful views and sites to see. A very long day but ending with petting the highland cows was so cool.

4.00Our driver, Roddy, was the best. He alone deserves 5 stars. He was very accommodating, personable, and knowledgeable. I would take another tour with him. My only issue was the tour itself. The description says it goes to Loch Ness, but that is a little misleading. It goes to Fort Augustus which is where the water flows into the loch. The loch itself is a little bit of a walk. Since there were members of my family with mobility issues, they were unable to make the walk. We had booked the optional boat tour of the loch, but we missed it due to a road closure. Also, most of the local businesses in the towns we stopped in were closed because we were there either too early or too late. However, since Roddy was so great, it was still an extremely enjoyable tour.
