    There are a selection of restaurants and shops to visit while there with the river cruise. Boat was very comfortable with plenty of seating above or below. The young man explaining the sonar images was wonderful. It was easy to tell he loves his job and was very engaging.

    We were staying in Edinburgh for a couple of days and wanted the chance to see the Scottish highlands. We took the Loch Ness tour and paid for the optional cruise, which I recommend doing as it’s the longest stop on the trip and most people in our group did it as well. Our tour guide John was funny and awesome, and we feel like we learned a lot about Scottish history from his crazy stories. We had brought our own lunch, but the tour made plenty of stops to purchase meals and souvenirs along the way so we felt that wasn’t necessary. Overall, this is a great tour for someone who wants to see more of Scotland but is short on time.

    Martin was the funniest guide and was very knowledgeable! I am so thankful we got to have him on the tour. The Highlands were magical, and the Whisky ice cream in Pitlochry!

    Excellent trip to see the highlands and get a quick overview of worthwhile things to revisit. The trip was really fun and our bus driver/guide, Louise, provided colorful background throughout. Couldn't recommend more.

  • A lot of driving, pleasant guide!

    Dave was a great guide! Keep in mind you will be on the road a lot, so it's all about the views from the car with not very much time to do explore once stopped. If you want a glimpse of the highlands and don't want to drive this is perfect!
