    A great day trip to the Scottish highlands and Loch Ness. If traveling in the fall/winter, plan ahead for the dinner stop to be mostly closed down and dark, but that’s not this tour’s fault at all!

    Tom was an outstanding guide—fun, informative, and full of energy throughout the entire trip! He shared fascinating bits of Scottish history and culture, played great music that matched the scenery, and always kept us updated on upcoming stops and what to expect. His storytelling really brought the Highlands to life, and he made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. The tour was well-organized, with plenty of chances to explore, take photos, and grab food or souvenirs. Just a friendly note for future guests—be prepared for several hours of driving since the Highlands cover a lot of ground. Pack snacks, water, and anything you’ll need to stay comfortable on the road. Overall, a memorable and beautiful day—thanks, Tom, for making it such an incredible experience!
