    We had a great time with David as our guide. The highlands are absolutely stunning with beautiful peaks and the drive was incredible with all the lakes. David stopped frequently for photo ops of the best views. The cruise trip on the lake was fun and informative with a monster finding presentation and the small village on the canal is so charming and quaint. Would recommend highly.

  • Best trip ever

    Great views, many different kinds of landscapes, riding through meaningful and powerful historical places augmented by our tour guide’s excellent narratives. Loch Ness cruise was the crowning experience. It is a long day but worth it.
