5.00Thanks to Bob for a great tour! He was fun and knowledgeable with a lot of good stories and history throughout the long day. It's a tight schedule to see everything and get all the way to Loch Ness and he did a great job of keeping us on track while making sure we could still enjoy everything there was to see. I also enjoyed the music he played during some of the chill out parts of the journey.
A day of surprises in Scotland

5.00What an amazing trip! Bob our driver and guide was superb. Knowledgable entertaining and full of Scottish Charm. Well worth every penny for such a great trip. The time flew by, as every mile was a joy to experience. Loch Ness and the view from the Commando Memorial of Ben Nevis were the highlights.
