4.00This was an awesome tour and we got to see some really cool areas in the Highlands. The boat tour at Loch Ness was nice, but very short (castle + boat option). We really enjoyed the tour and Holly was a great guide and very hospitable & funny. The only complaint is the various groups of people that consistently didn’t return on time. Usually 10-15 minutes late at most stops. This caused a lot of rushing and shortened times at later stops. If you’re considering this (or similar tours), don’t be like those people. They ruined it for the group. It would have been nice to see the guide straighten them up a bit.
