5.00Had a great time and learned a lot about Scotland in the process. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It is a long trip but they knew when to take breaks and asked us repeatedly if we needed any. The vehicle is big enough for a small group but small enough that it gets to visit some places where big tour busses are not allowed.

5.0010/10. Waseem was fantastic! Phenomenal tour guide that knew endless history on the region. He knew all the best spots to give you a full and scenic day in the highlands. Truly worth it to book with him and will be recommending him to anyone that decides to visit Edinburgh!

5.00Wasson was on time, eager to go, full of delightful history and easy to change plans on a dime. We saw amazing sights and he was 100% part of the great adventure! The tour itself was enchanting! The sights and sounds are indescribable. They are magic. You feel like you are in a far land, and yet it is all at your fingertips. Highly recommend!!
Waseem great, Loch Ness not so much

5.00Waseem was great, good driver, good knowledge base and willing to make changes to itinerary on the fly. Only word of caution is to let people know that in our opinion, Loch Ness was not very impressive, it’s a long way to go, not sure it’s worth it. Glen coe was amazing and if possible to structure a trip with some time to hike it, that might be the best way to go but I don’t see any options for that beyond renting a car, but that’s not waseems fault, he was great.

5.00A perfectly lovely day traveling around Scotland with Mr. Waseem. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we asked and if we stumped him he found out for us. He made unscheduled stops so we could have a more tailored experience. He always made sure we were comfortable, having water and shortbread cookies for us. This is the tour to take if you want to see all of Scotland in a day. You won’t be disappointed!
Magical private tour through the Scottish highlands!

5.00We had an excellent day with Waseem! Not only was he prompted for the pick up, but he arrived about 10 minutes early, just to make sure that he found us and was situated and ready to go on time. He was incredibly flexible with where we stopped and for how long. He would frequently check in with us to make sure we didn’t need to stop for water or restroom break. He even brought us some treats and hydration to enjoy on the drive. He was a fantastic storyteller and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. On our way home we got stuck behind a really bad accident that added an extra 5 hours to our trip. Waseem’s positivity and stories were the only thing that kept us sane in the face of what could have ruined the day. I highly recommend this tour and Waseem . Well worth the money!
Best Tour Day!!

5.00We had the best tour to the beautiful Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness with Wassem! He was very knowledgeable about Scottish history, and he had myself and my friend listening to every word. We were able to take longer at a few places, and all but skipped others because we really wanted more time at Urquhart Castle, and we wanted to go to Cava Cairns by Inverness. All in all, this was our best touring day, and we have been traveling for 3 weeks!
Loch Ness but no Nessy!

3.00We didnt take the tour but we drove around the area. Its nice but as expected its a scenic area with lots of vehicles on the road all doing the same, trying to capture the Nessy. Its Ok drive all around.

5.00My wife and I had a great time on the private Loch Ness & highlands tour. Waseem was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The drive to Loch Ness takes some time, but there are numerous scenic stops provided for pics and leg stretching.
