4.00The Loch Ness tour was a great day out! Bob was a great tour guide with lots of knowledge and great stories to tell- I really enjoyed his commentary. The only thing I would say is that some of the roads and driving was a bit scary- I’m glad that Bob knew the roads well!! I had to look away a few times!! It’s a long day with 9hrs spent in the bus out of the 12.5hr trip, but I really enjoyed it and we had great weather too!! A lovely day out visiting the Scottish highlands! Would recommend.
Highest of the Highlands with Bob

5.00Phenomenal tour with Bob, our knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled driver. We experienced multiple seasons’ worth of weather in one day in the Scottish highlands, but Bob kept us going through sun, clouds, rain, sleet, and—most impressively—a surprising amount of snow. All along, he provided interesting commentary and information, wrapped in the depths of Scottish history, about all the things we were seeing outside of our windows. In his hands, our tour went smoothly and we felt like we truly experienced the Scottish highlands! It was so much better than any self-guided tour could hope to be. Could not recommend more.
Amazing!
