5.00The tour was well thought out and had lots of interesting information. The bus ride over to the Loch was pleasant, and the boat ride was amazing. It was incredible seeing the sights of Loch Ness and hearing the history of the area. The tour guide was excellent. I would recommend this tour.
Good half day activity

5.00Was a nice way to see a couple of the highlights of the area. Rather than taking boat all through Loch Ness, this was a combo bus and boat tour with stop at castle. Staff was very friendly. Value seemed decent. We did not have a car, so needed something like this to get around.
What an experience
